Wildfire Interactive (Discontinued) vs. Runa

The transition to Google has been painful - key contacts are no longer available.

Employee Recognition, Birthday recognition, spot recognition, etc. The platform has many options and easily allows for our company to purchase and distribute over 400+ gift card options for our employees in 1 fell swoop. The employee choice has been a huge positive

• More customization - Would like to have the ability to edit more without coding.

• Support team is responsive, but can take several days or more to get resolution sometimes
• Status of different brands can change a lot over the course of short periods of time - not always Runa's fault, but sometimes frustrating
• We've been through several account managers due to turnover. Thankfully, they catch on quick, but does take a bit to get a new AM up to speed each time

Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.

During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price

Super reliable and easy to use

Very easy to use, almost anyone can learn how to build a comprehensive promotion.

They provide a great portal that is very intuitive to use

I have never been kicked out of Wildfire service. Always up and running.

Easy to perform tasks and quick to upload changes to your promotions.

Phone and email support were always available to us when we needed it.

We have a dedicated customer support person, he is quick to react to any needs or requests. We feel that MELP requests are handled professionally and in a timely manner.

Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.

Simple to use and very effective in increasing user engagement on both social channels and website. Noticeably helped raise TOS.

Super smooth to implement

Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.

We have previously used giftcloud which doesn't compare to the experience we've had with wegift/runa. Far less interaction with runa is required, much better service for our money, wider range of gifts, better service provided to our customers, easy portal
