What do you like best about Basecamp?

We started using Basecamp to manage our projects 4 years ago and since then, the product has grown deep roots within our organization. It is a simple to use and easily accessible shared workspace platform that allows us to unite during projects which allows better collaboration. It helps us to keep all project information including files well organized and very safe. It allows us to assign tasks to individuals which helps us have a clarity on who is responsible for what. Basecamp also help us stay on deadlines by setting due dates to keep us reminded of the project timelines. It is an easy and very effective platform for communicating and discussing during projects through chatting and this help ensure everyone is able to get the necessary information at all times. We also use Basecamp to organize our work with To-dos amd this makes it easy to track the progress of the entire project by looking on what has been done and what is still to be done.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The customer support services through the contact us has been so responsive and this makes it easy for us to handle any setbacks quickly. All the features available are easy to use.

Basecamp is generally used as a project management tool in our organization and it helps us to ensure projects are being run smoothly. It helps us to have a clear picture view of the entire project cycle from the start date to the end date. With Basecamp, it became easy for us to work collaboratively on projects as it makes it easy for us to communicate, share files , discuss and share ideas during projects via instant chatting. Basecamp has helped us streamline our work during projects. It has helped us ensure we finish our projects within the available timelines to avoid the inconveniences of deadlines like extra budget and failing to meet customers agreements.

What do you like best about Basecamp?

It is beneficial to be aware of the projects at all times since it allows them to follow up, view pending tasks, whether they are calendars, due dates, or share data and documents. It may also be used by any business that wants to manage a workgroup, and it includes a very well constructed mobile app that is simple to use and set up. The API is extremely valuable since it greatly facilitates expansion and integration with internal and external systems that increase Basecamp's capabilities, such as seeing the progress of assigned tasks without accessing Basecamp. It is straightforward to manage task deadlines; in general, scheduling a job is extremely simple; simply do it and the delivery date; you can also attach assets such as videos and photographs to the work if additional information is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The messaging board, which consumers use to communicate, has some issues since it freezes and does not enable them to send messages swiftly, wasting time and inconveniencing them by not allowing them to submit their messages properly. I wish I could create Gantt charts; Basecamp needs to listen more to its clients; I feel like they give us very little or no attention when we request that they implement project management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it in our company to manage projects since it allows us to monitor, evaluate, and manage each project carried out, which allows us to know each progress created and keeps us up to date on every piece of information, concept, and design. This platform was picked because of how simple it was to register an account and begin generating projects and assigning tasks; this greatly improved productivity because the learning curve was relatively low. Furthermore, a venue was required where firm personnel could discuss the project in which they were participating without losing the thread of the conversation, and Basecamp was the greatest option for integrating both objectives.

What do you like best about Basecamp?

Since we are all remote, Basecamp has really changed how we operate. Before, we were depending on one person in leadership to know what was going on with every project at all time, which was exhausting for her and limiting for the rest of the team. Now that we can create projects in Basecamp AND store all of our files there, just about anyone can pop in and see where we're at in a project at anytime. We also save so much time in not having to communicate constantly about priorities, schedules, locations of documents, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

There are a few small things I would love to see change in Basecamp. The main one would be that I would love to be able to have "done" on one task trigger a follow-up task. For example, I could click "done" on a proofing task and that would trigger the "make corrections" task to enable with a deadline of two business days later. That would make a huge difference for me as the project manager to know that those tasks are cascading on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's a major communication boost for us. To have the whole team in there and to have all of our current projects hanging out makes a huge difference. It really empowers the members of our growing team to feel like they are "in the know" for where we are headed with our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basecamp?

As an accountant’s point of view, I can confidently say that Basecamp is reliable for team collaborations. The cheap monthly price of this application is my favorite part because my business cannot afford expensive software like this. It also works well for bigger teams or has a free version. I love the intuitive interface through which I create guest accounts (quite important when collaborating with external partners). It is a really well integrated collaboration app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Nonetheless, there are certain things I do not like about Basecamp. Although it performs tasks effectively, it can be inadequate for complex projects. Though, the dashboard design of software is functional but a little bit does not fit with the more modern interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We benefit from increased productivity when using Basecamp, the answer to streamlined team communication and task tracking. It is critical for efficient financial management as we save time by consolidating multiple project resources into one point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basecamp?

Having used Basecamp for some time now, I have developed a taste for its intuitive interface. I have never found it easy for me and my team to set projects and assign priorities. It makes employees navigate their respective duties far much easier. Since we implemented this tool, the organization of project management has greatly improved in general. We choose it mainly because of its capacity to accelerate tasks and projects facilitates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Occasionally, there is a bottleneck between me and the group I am working with because relay of comments on a project thread can be slow. Additionally, it is easy to miss individual to-do notifications among the many other notifications on my screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What has happened, is that Basecamp has pretty much done away with the clutter that used to crowd our project management. With everything being centralized and organized it become easier to manage each of the ongoing projects. This, in turn has translated into higher work output efficiency and less stress for all.
