What do you like best about Bonfire?

The full integration that goes from the tendering process to the management of the contracts is what makes our day-to-day business more efficient. The automatic reminders and the ability to customize those reminders makes for a solution that you can simply program and leave. It's easy to have faith that everything will go right - because it always does! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfire?

Bonfire, as a tool, would do wonders if they would have a more intuitive reporting function. If my Finance team could jump onto Bonfire and download our commitments for the year/next 5 years, that would be phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonfire:

Give them a try. They are excellent at providing trial periods and will provide all the support you need to make sure that their product is right for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing our different departments freedom to perform their own individual tenders (by invitation) has helped them realize significant savings, which allows them more money to do even more! There is always a request for better transparency, and Bonfire provides exactly that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonfire?

The ease of communication for updates and revisions related to current RFPs. When seeking out a new project for my company it is a great spot to view all potential options within a college in one spot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfire?

I think it could use a UX overhaul, as it seems like a software created in the early 2000s and could use an uplift. A better notification system for locating updates would be helpful as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bonfire makes it easy to see the RFPs that I am available to bid on within colleges, which is usually a very hidden and confusing process. Our business performance has increased to allow us the ability to view and analyze many RFPs at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonfire?

I really like using the tool to manage my RFPs and RFQs. It simplifies the process so that theres a single one-stop location for my suppliers and vendors to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfire?

I wish there was a way to see open/public bids from other companies that use Bonfire to host at any given time...Perhaps a tool for suppliers to search by keywords of bid opportunities.

Also, the contract management database wasn't useful to me as there is a cap (based on subscription) to the number of contracts that can be stored at any given time. My company is a procurement/strategic sourcing consulting firm and as such, I have many active and non-active contracts. The non-active contracts, count toward the storage limit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonfire:

I looked at many different tools. For the money, Bonfire does a lot if you are looking for a simple solution to managing your RFPs and RFQs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bonfire solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a tool to quickly push out RFPs and RFQ on behalf of my clients. Because I have many events happening at the same time, I am able to manage the actions easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
