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.

Project coordination has improved with excellent integration and support, though more comprehensive training and version control are needed

The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates. There is potential for improvement in version control, particularly in integration with Zoho Docs. Providing small bite-sized instructional videos, like how to create a bug, and customizable help icons would be beneficial. Additionally, I should be able to cross-link bugs between projects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Campfire Interactive’s ability to manage data through business processes and workflows for your organization is good."

"Enhancing our commercial strategy has been a significant advantage, resulting in millions of dollars in additional revenue that our sales team has been able to achieve through effective planning."

"I have recommended Campfire Interactive to at least 10 companies over my career, including some of the largest Tier 1 automotive customer suppliers in the world."

"Campfire Interactive is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."

"The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast."

"I like the visibility of global opportunities. Prior to using Campfire Interactive, we would conduct Excel-based reporting and sales meetings with everyone bringing their information. Now, we can check it daily, look at the reports daily, and see what is coming into the system and what needs to be managed."

"Campfire Interactive has saved us time because the data that we are collecting is the same."

"The most important feature from Campfire Interactive is its ability to work together with other different applications that we use in our company, and I think that's one of the best features it has."

More Campfire Interactive pros

"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."

"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."

"We can customize the tool."

"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The timeline features are excellent."

"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."

"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."

More Zoho Projects pros

Cons

"The areas of improvement for Campfire Interactive are in cycle plan management, forward model and backlog planning, user interface and usability, records management, price bump chart flexibility, and creation and facilitation of reports management."

"One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. 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."

"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."

"There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."

"We just went through that last month, where we had reported data to our board of directors and then came to find out that some parts of the data were incorrect, which is really frustrating."

"Regarding BI Reporting, the standard reporting module within Campfire Interactive primarily gives you an Excel data dump, and while there are some visualizations for creating dashboards, I found those limited for my needs. We started presenting the data to Microsoft Power BI, which is much better for generating the reports I want."

"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."

"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

More Campfire Interactive cons

"The basic reports could be improved in Zoho Projects."

"The adaptation process can be enhanced with training sessions and templates."

"At the portfolio management level, Zoho Projects has some issues. Managing multiple projects in the project presents challenges."

"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."

"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."

"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."

"The price of Zoho Projects has increased significantly over time. Initially, it was an affordable option for early adopters, but the price has risen four to five times."

"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."

More Zoho Projects cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I don't know the full scope of our subscriptions for all the modules, but from what I've seen before, it seems fairly expensive. The high cost may drive some potential clients to consider developing a homegrown solution internally if they have a competent finance group."

"It's fairly priced."

"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."

"We had a negotiation with them back in March of this year to extend our contract for 1 year. They were willing to work with us to negotiate different terms and a different cost of production. They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number."

"The price for Zoho Projects is seven GBP per user per month."

"The product is fairly priced."

"The product has different pricing models for different regions."

"The solution is not very expensive."

"Zoho Projects' costs are yearly and affordable."

"The solution is cheap."

"Zoho Projects is cost-effective."

"The Enterprise version costs INR 630 per user per month."
