Entrepreneurs, freelancers, small businesses (1-99 employees), and groups inside large organizations.
Development teams at startups and small businesses to Fortune 50 companies use GitHub, every step of the way.
It's very effective and provides a variety of built-in solutions which enhance team communication and expands productivity. It has awesome customer support service and is easy to work with.
The only negative on this product we found is the lack of some features on all versions.
Basecamp is a great task management system that allows for great visibility for the team on where tasks and projects are at. The ease of use is the main sale for us.
Different versions of Basecamp is complicating things, thats my only complaint that i have.
The strength of Basecamp is in its simplicity. It's not overloaded with features, which helps everyone to focus on what's important and sync everybody up, be it a retro meeting, roadmap or project.
There is no way for me to delete an inappropriate comment from a parent.
I loved based camp because it made my departments project management easier. It is a good solution for creative and marketers and also developers.
It was a very bad experience and we had to change the product.
I love that the developers release their projects on there to share with the world. It is really cost efficient for people who don’t have much money to spend but need good quality software.
Sometimes when there is a long pull request it can be quite tedious to look over and see recent changes. Also bad merge operations can cause a world of trouble that is difficult to reverse.
GitHub has great documentation available, it is a great tool for code collaboration and remote collaboration, and provides a nice and simple way to have code and version history available online.
The cons of this is that there is no certainty that each development works well or that it has a bug that may generate a problem or error.
I like how it's easy to use and intuitive, but also offers enough customization for when we need it. I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a good version control software.
The search function is quite often bad. Also a dark mode is missing.
Community is super friendly and it’s a great platform to work on certain coding activities with a group of people.
It also sadly has no mobile app/mobile support at all.
Reelika S.: Hi, I am Reelika from Design Dream Lifestyle. I'm a business strategist and coach, and I would give Basecamp five stars. Before using Basecamp, we really were just using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, but the problem we ran into was the collaboration and the teamwork. Basecamp allowed us to collaborate virtually with our team from across the globe and to get the projects done. We chose Basecamp because we were looking for a software that would allow us to collaborate to work across the globe on different projects. For example, content management, virtual workshops, in-person workshops, and that software allowed us to spread out all the tasks while also keeping an eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished. When we started with Basecamp, we took a look at the tutorials. And I have to say they were very straightforward, very easy to follow. There really is no room to make any mistakes. And you don't need a high-tech knowledge for that, so anybody can really use this. If you're thinking about using Basecamp, give it a try because if you have a team, especially virtually, that has different projects going on and you need to delegate, and you want to keep eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished, that is a really good tool for that.
Sebastian B.: I'm Sebastian. I'm the CEO of Toyoko, and I give GitHub five out of five. I've been using SPN and so forth. They were good products, but they were centralized. That's why I switched to GitHub. I started using GitHub because everybody was doing, so I started to check it, and then I saw that it was better, especially from SPN, because I noticed a more distributed workflow. Starting with GitHub was not easy at the beginning, but now when I add somebody to the team to use GitHub, it's way easier because it improved a lot related with tutorial and documentation. So if I have to start from scratch now with GitHub, it would be easy for me. I think that GitHub nowadays is the default software for sharing and building applications. So there's not much to choose, only GitHub and GitLab, and I think that GitHub has way more features, and GitHub is the place where most people will look for your software.
