There's a lack of global support when we have issues.

While it is generally stable, there is still some room for improvement.

Room For Improvement

Campfire Interactive needs enhancements in reporting, integration, user interface, service communication, and pricing clarity for improved functionality.
OpenText needs improved reporting, user interface, resource management, integration, and security, alongside better mobile, database, and automation features.
Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part.
Director of Sales at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
They are looking into AI to make longer projections possible and to also improve the quality of the data that we have in the system to calculate this LOP based on historical data or IHS information.
Global Manager of Sales Excellence at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The issues are more related to technical service, specifically when we have an issue or problem with the tool, the communication gap, and the follow-through on issues that need improvement.
Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive
OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Campfire Interactive's pricing is high but negotiable, prompting some clients to consider internal alternatives, especially during organizational changes.
OpenText pricing is seen as high by SMBs, but offers transparency with separate licenses and no hidden costs.
We had a one-time fee and now I think they are on a subscription model.
Forecasting Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number.
Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive
Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses.
Director of Sales at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
It is not overly expensive and provides a fair value for the features offered.

Valuable Features

Campfire Interactive excels in speed, forecasting, and automation, offering seamless integration, GDPR compliance, and highly rated customer service.
OpenText PPM offers a user-friendly interface with real-time data, integration flexibility, and tools for efficient project and financial management.
Since it's actually in a system and not being maintained in a spreadsheet, it has improved both time and accuracy.
Information Technology Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Now everybody is using one set of numbers, and this has helped us improve our revenue forecasting projections by 50%.
Director, Business Systems at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
What makes Campfire Interactive's sales forecasting feature stand out for me is that it is browser-based, making it a unified program solution for forecasting, viewing actuals, analyzing short-term trends, and using that information to create long-term strategies.
Sales Operations Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes.

Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive
Works very well for opportunity management and sales forecasting for the automotive industry
I've had recent discussions with the leadership team at Campfire Interactive about several issues. They're fully aware of my displeasure with certain things. Some concerns are not related to the tool itself, although there are some aspects that could be better with the tool. The issues are more related to technical service, specifically when we have an issue or problem with the tool, the communication gap, and the follow-through on issues that need improvement. They're fully aware of that concern, and they're doing things to address it. From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected. When that happens, we have to inform the Campfire Interactive IT or Support group what the failure is. They have to research and come back to us. In the meantime, we have 2, 4, 6, maybe 12 hours of downtime where people around the world are trying to use the system. Though it affects less than 50 people, these instances are frustrating.

Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database
The solution helps with tech management. It has a work plan similar to Microsoft Project for tracking progress anywhere. It can synchronize with Microsoft Projects for updating and rebooting tasks. They can also assign tasks to team members who can update progress using timesheets without a sheet. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.
