Instead, it offers **File Sharing** (**48%**), which gives teams another way to organize and distribute work-related documents in one place.

It makes organizing schedules and itineraries super simple. Cons It took a little while to get the hang of it, but really don't have anything negative to say.

Pros Dossier - All of the most important information is in one place. - Can be shared if transitioning to another VA - Accessible from any device Digest Builder - the ability to add attachments and importation information for an event. - the ability to move entries and change the order of things Decision Stream - the ability to ask a question that has multiple choices on their own time - the ability to have said questions saved for repeated use Cons Dossier - hotels, trains, ground transportation and misc travel be available - the content would be searchable or at least tags searchable then have the tags available on all things. - the various fields could have a "copy" link for ease of pasting into final destination (like in lastpass) Digest Builder - I wish it could be pasted in a better format in Slack. My clients don't really use email with me. - print as a pdf for attachment into tripit or slack or other things. Decision Stream - Be able to copy an old question for a similar question/answer situation Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

RE Reviewer Executive Assistant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Still Missing a Few Elements" 3.0 October 31, 2019 Pros I love the clarity and user-friendliness of the digest tool, but I find that a lot of what I need on a regular basis as an EA is still "coming" or not customizable. The time usage feature would be great if it allowed customization because some organizations have specific categories they bill under. I love the integration of the calendars and the dossier, as well. Cons It's not complete!!! I want to see the whole shebang, ready for action.

Ari B. Virtual Assistant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great way to keep a client on task" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 25, 2019 One huge benefit has the responsiveness of the Base team. If you have a question, a problem or a suggestion for process improvement, they are on top of it quickly. Pros I help a client with project management as a virtual assistant -- which means keeping track of tasks on projects and integrating them with scheduling and a large amount of email traffic. Being able to bring it all together on Base has been very helpful to keep my client on track. He also can use it as a weekly reference point regarding tasks he needs to complete and how they will fit into his schedule. The most recent update that included the Decision Stream, where a client can click a URL and be linked to a series of questions with multiple choice answers, has really cut down on the number of emails and text messages we used to use for that sort of thing. Cons The learning curve wasn't steep, but at times it was a little curvy. If you dedicate some time to digging into Base, you'll find that it can help you -- you just have to figure out the most efficient and effective way to use it. Because it's constantly evolving, there are some features that aren't available yet that will be very useful, but since it's constantly evolving, I suspect we'll see those go live soon.

It is so nice to have everything in one tool, and I look forward to the continued development that will include even more opportunities for Base to continue to be a "one-stop-shop". Pros I really like that everything is all in one place! Being able to store important information that I need to access often as well as create weekly digests and also get answers for decisions that need to be made all in one place is truly a game-changer! I also like that I can refer back to the previous digests and/or decision streams for prior information that I might need to reference again. Cons I do not really have anything that I like least so far, because I feel like there are continuous updates taking place, and these updates have addressed any missing elements or enhanced features that might be needed.

They are all so receptive to feedback and they are continuously improving the product. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are! Pros I love that I can download key details about my exec, and my company's execs that I help onboard, in one place that I can use regularly to create my own digests to keep my client updated, or can share with other EAs to help them complete their work. The current features like digests, exec profile and calendar preferences are super helpful and I cannot wait to use Base's new features like communication stream, updated travel preferences and more. Cons There's nothing I dislike about this product. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

I work for several executives so its nice to have all their information in one place stored in the Dossier Cons Recently, I am having to log-in every time I go to use it where when I first started using Base I was able to pull it up and it was displaying the last thing I was working on. I also wish it was more customizable. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

The best part is that it has both the EA and the exec in mind. As the exec receiving digests, I can work more seamlessly with my EA because they are spending less time putting things together. Cons As a new company there will always be kinks but Base is doing a great job with customer support and helping users work out bugs to make the software even better.

Base is far more robust! The Digest Builder is multi-functional and customizable. Maintaining Executive's preferences are much easier with Base rather than a bunch of notes or Google Docs. Their support team is great and very responsive to questions, especially since there are regular updates and new features being rolled out. For EAs supporting Executives with busy calendars you can't go wrong with Base. Pros I love the many ways the Digest Builder communication tool can be used. The ability to keep an executive profile in a safe place is extremely helpful. I love being able to use Base for running down the daily or weekly schedule, but travel itineraries and preferences. Cons There isn't really anything I dislike about Base. There are still many integrations that could be introduced and would be super useful for EAs.

I'm really excited about the future of Executive Assisting with Base as a core software. Pros I love the ability to store all of my executive's preferences in one location. It makes it easy to access and store! Cons I wish the decision stream could ping the executive via text or another format other than email.
