What do you like best about Bonfyre?

I love the fact that Bonfyre is at our fingertips in Microsoft Teams, an app we use daily! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

I dislike that we haven't had this sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Since my company has gone almost completely virtual, our employees do not get to connect and network each day. Bonfyre engages them with each other daily. For us to have less of a turn-over of employees, they need to like where they work and like the people. Our employees feel more recognized and more part of a group. I believe this definitely helps us keep our employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonfyre?

I absolutely love Bonfyre. My work uses this application as a way of communication with one another and it works great! It reminds me of Facebook in some ways as it has a wall, personal page, chat options, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

I wish the app was a little easier to navigate. Sometimes the organization of the app doesn't make much sense, but other than that - it truly is a great application! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonfyre:

This application can make communicating with others so easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As previously mentioned, I think the only problem I am solving would be the organization of the app. Benefits however are definitely how easy it is for me to now communicate with my coworkers from other locations so easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonfyre?

I love that the app is mobile first and super easy for busy employees to participate and consume content. Everything about the platform (the layout, colors, buttons, and even the content that the client success team helps shape) is fun and doesn't "feel" like work. I also like that most of the configuration is in the hands of the admin and can be done from a mobile device. My favorite features would probably have to be the recognition badges and surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

Just waiting for another form of authentication besides email since many of our employees don't access their email or don't have email...it's in development! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bonfyre:

It's all about engaging employees with content! If its not meaningful, then employees will not adopt or come back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bonfyre is helping us move from communication to conversation in times of change, to create more transparency and improve relationships between senior leadership and employees, between departments, and even within departments. We are also solving the problem of communication not reaching all employees due to ineffective methods (email, huddles). Bonfyre allows us to reach all employees regardless of shift, location, schedule, etc. Employees can choose to actively participate or just be a fly on the wall consuming the content which has even led to these introverted employees joining the conversation eventually.

What do you like best about Bonfyre?

"Bonfyre” is a great social networking app that allows you to share your photos and videos, as well as group chat with what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with. It’s simply picture messaging that ties in with how you live your life: one moment at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

My only gripe is with some of the aesthetics. I feel the news feed is hard to read and decipher who made each post and what text pertains to each post/photo. Its also not easy to go to the profile of the person who post a photo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The app works really well, and is great for sharing and planning events with my friends and family. I also love the ability to have private group conversations, and not have to worry about privacy and permissions with Facebook. Kudos to the app developers, this is a great addition to my iPhone!

What do you like best about Bonfyre?

The Bonfyre app is great and the customer service is even better. We use the app for events and are able to display agendas, speaker information, surveys, notifications, etc. to the users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

Not much. All feedback is taken pretty seriously at Bonfyre and they are already implementing some suggestions given. The one thing we are still looking for is the ability to pre-schedule push notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Increasing communication with our customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bonfyre?

The app is easy to use and has so many useful functions. I keep stumbling across new tools I can use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bonfyre?

Sometimes the app doesn't always show notifications, so if I don't actively check each of my groups, I might miss something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Employee engagement and communication. We have several employees that do not have work email. This is a fast way to communicate information to them without individually calling all of our employees or relying on posters or word of mouth. We also use the app to recognize employees and share information about ourselves to make each other more approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
