When they secure many new contracts, the staff can be stretched thin to meet deadlines.

5.2

Campfire Interactive scales well with effective integrations, though flexibility and financial constraints can hinder standalone growth and expansion.

Sentiment score

8.1

Planview Portfolios scales effectively for enterprise use, integrating well with tools, despite performance issues with large data loads.

I don't have any concerns about scaling up for that. The concerns are more about implementation than scalability.

Sentiment score

9.1

Planview Portfolios is reliable and stable, with minor performance issues often linked to external factors or large configurations.

When it slows down so much, we've had to have Campfire Interactive shut down the system and restart it.

Sarah_Jones

Room For Improvement

Campfire Interactive needs enhancements in reporting, integration, user interface, service communication, and pricing clarity for improved functionality.

Improving Planview Portfolios' integration, customization, automation, documentation, metrics, and UI could enhance user adoption and streamline management.

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.

reviewer2715126

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.

Bianca Gaida

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.

Tom Beach

An important improvement would be to add more automation features and provide more online documentation videos that would make it much easier to use for non-technical users.

Collins Martin

Customer Service Representative at Roche

Additionally, there should be plenty of resources online, such as tutorials and videos on how to guide and how to use Planview Portfolios, especially with its robust features, explaining each feature and how it works.

Monabi Kingsley

Project Manager at 3M

Reporting flexibility is needed so that end users can create their own quick ad hoc reports for analysis and for better data-driven decisions.

Setup Cost

Campfire Interactive's pricing is high but negotiable, prompting some clients to consider internal alternatives, especially during organizational changes.

Planview Portfolios is costly but valued for large enterprises; the FLEX model offers flexibility, benefiting strategic alignment.

We had a one-time fee and now I think they are on a subscription model.

Kristin Schutter

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.

Tom Beach

Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive

Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses.

Valuable Features

Since it's actually in a system and not being maintained in a spreadsheet, it has improved both time and accuracy.

Now everybody is using one set of numbers, and this has helped us improve our revenue forecasting projections by 50%.

Franco DAlimonte

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.

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.
