When they secure many new contracts, the staff can be stretched thin to meet deadlines.
Global Manager of Sales Excellence at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Overall, their support is good to excellent, but if the issue is a little more complex, it can take a little longer.
Sales Analyst at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
I wouldn't say you go to Salesforce Sales Cloud for their customer support unless you purchase one of their premier plans, which is additional money.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
Support requires a subscription and when taken, the service is pretty nice.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
 

Scalability Issues

5.2
Campfire Interactive scales globally, doubling forecast management effectively, though some find its interface less user-friendly with increased scalability.
Sentiment score
7.7
Salesforce Sales Cloud offers strong scalability, accommodating growth and varied business sizes, though some users face reporting and data challenges.
I don't have any concerns about scaling up for that. The concerns are more about implementation than scalability.
Market Intelligence & Sales Forecasting at RESRG Automotive
In terms of scalability, Campfire Interactive rates as either a nine out of ten.
Director of Sales at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The scalability of the system is a ten out of ten.

Salesforce Sales Cloud is praised for its reliability, minimal downtime, high performance, and effective issue resolution, ensuring stability.
When it slows down so much, we've had to have Campfire Interactive shut down the system and restart it.
Information Technology Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
If there is something that they feel is a bug or needs a fix that needs to be pushed through, we're able to work with them effectively to schedule those things and not be disruptive to the business.

Room For Improvement

Campfire Interactive users face issues with outdated reporting, complex UI, role-based access, integration challenges, and slow support.
Salesforce Sales Cloud struggles with integration, high costs, and usability; users desire better mobile, reporting, and AI 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
If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
Compared to AWS, it is slower, which could be a hindrance.
AWS Cloud Engineer at Accenture
With today's generative AI capabilities like ChatGPT, it should be possible to directly communicate with the software rather than navigating through the entire system manually.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
 

Setup Cost

Campfire Interactive is expensive, offering flexible subscription models and negotiation options, with a smooth setup process reported by companies.
Salesforce Sales Cloud is costly, but negotiating can secure discounts; value justifies pricing, challenging affordability for smaller businesses.
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
Without negotiation, costs can become expensive.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7
This happened for the first time because of the new CEO, Arundhati, who revolutionized pricing strategies, allowing discounts of 60-70% for Salesforce Sales Cloud in India.
Founder and Salesforce Consultant at SaaSnic
Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely expensive.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
 

Valuable Features

Campfire Interactive enhances forecasting and decision-making with automation, integration, real-time reporting, and improved efficiency and flexibility.
Salesforce Sales Cloud enhances productivity with customizability, automation, integration, data analytics, and efficient communication for optimal sales 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
Its easy-to-navigate interface aids in delivering clear vision and organization, especially for sales and business management.
AWS Cloud Engineer at Accenture
Being able to pull reports in Salesforce Sales Cloud based on any of the fields that we have there and then building logic on those fields saves me time and also gives me visibility into what's going on with my teams across multiple departments, which is very helpful for us.
VP of Business Operations at PeerSpot
The Einstein Analytics and the inbuilt reporting are very useful for keeping track of pipeline movement.
Chief Digital Officer at Cipher7

Tom Beach - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jonny Katz - PeerSpot reviewer

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.
