However in short to tell about, after the pandemic I was totally lost my job and no income, Basecamp where it helped me to grow in my small business.Thank you once again. Pros This application has actually helped in my small business of instrument selling. Liking about this is very good guidance on small businesses to big. Anyone can easily access to it because even the price is less and we can claim 30 days of free trial. Over all I have a best experience with this. Cons The price for subscription should be reduced it will be good for all to access may be can add on little more days for free trial. I believe in those who want to start the business will have money through any source, it will also be helpful from Basecamp if they reduce the price for subscription. Thank you for such good platform.

Pros It's very easy to move through projects and tag appropriate individuals as needed - those individuals are then notified and can respond to the post appropriately. Overall, it's fairly easy to use and organize tasks. Additionally, you can create separate basecamps - one that your end client can participate in, and another that you and your team can use to keep information separate from the client. Cons No way to move subtasks in order under a heading, despite the updated dates. This makes it hard to compile a "to do" list from your basecamp projects. Also, the endless amount of mentions makes it hard to filter out global notifications from things you personally need to respond to. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Game Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great way to organize and add structure to various projects in a simple and intuitive manner." July 30, 2018 5.0 Pros Basecamp gives users a lot of flexibility, allowing you to create discussions, to-do lists and more. It's easy to split tasks by creating different lists for each team or individual. As a project manager, it's really helpful to be able to split projects and tasks, and assign specific groups of people to each of them. Projects are kept clean and lean, without additional noise that adds confusion as to what goes where. As an individual user, it's easy to find your own tasks since your own activities will listed in your "Me" page as well. The "Me" page lets you keep track of not only what your tasks are, but also previously completed tasks or discussions that you've taken part in, making it simple to backtrack whenever you need to. The option to notify everyone in the group or even just select individuals comes in handy during discussions or when you need to get someone's attention without triggering notifications for everyone. This simple option really helps to focus on what each person needs to do rather than getting irrelevant emails all day long. Cons The biggest problem I have with basecamp is the pricing. While the pricing is great for larger groups and projects, it's actually really expensive for smaller groups or for small projects. The price tag is hardly justifiable for small or short term usage despite all of its great features. Review Source CF Craig F.

Pros I like that there is one price for the service, regardless of how many users, teams, or projects we have. I also like that the interface is consistent across all teams and projects. It keeps all communication in one place but still let's people interact with each other through email, if that's the interface that works for them. Cons Email categorization algorithms with classify Basecamp emails as lower priority. Unlike other cloud storage services, the lack of online viewers in Basecamp means that files have to be downloaded to be viewed. Switched from [Slack](https://www.capterra.com/p/135003/Slack/) Email integration and more robust feature set. Review Source Torre C. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A valuable, multi-purpose project management tool " March 9, 2020 4.0 I think Basecamp, especially for small - medium sized teams, is a game changer, and allows projects to stay on track and enhances the ease of collaboration. It takes out the guess-work of what you have to do, what you're waiting on other team members for, and where to find important documents. Pros Basecamp takes care of so many aspect of project management and has them all in the same place (hence the name). I love that everything pretty much about a project could be tracked and viewed in one central location. I especially like their task / to-do feature, and how clear it is. That functions as the best place in my opinion to start my day and see what I'm behind on, what is on my plate for the day, and the week. It saves me so much planning time to have everything on my plate within Basecamp. Cons I honestly wish they had a way to integrate Slack, as that messaging platform is so much more powerful than the included messenger within Basecamp. I get it why they don't, I just think it wouldn't detract from their sales but add to it since so many teams use Slack. That's a minor complaint, though, since you can just NOT use their messenger and use slack instead. The integration they do have with Slack is kind of pointless in my opinion.

Also the file sharing is awesome. Pros The setup was very easy and fast. Inviting members using their email addresses was seamless and it handled everything else. Using the calendar and file sharing is very handy to setup simple task. The mobile app is amazingly easy and it makes it easy to contact the team while on the road. Cons The calendar could be a little more like a google calendar. Integration with SharePoint could be a little more seamless.

We often share ideas to help enhance our business to better serve our customers. Review Source Jason W. IT Support Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fun Office IM" May 19, 2021 4.0 Very positive. Its been a great way to meet new hires during a time when I would have never had the opportunity. Pros With Basecamp, we've been able to create several rooms for more than the usual office communications. We've been able to preserve a lot of the chatter amongst colleagues thanks to chat room about comic books, video games, movies and much more. The sort of random stuff you'd talk about with your colleagues while on break. This has been sorely missed during the pandemic, but Basecamp helps us keep things a little more normal. Cons Less of a fault to the software, but the implementation in our office environment. It's not often used in every department. Review Source Joshua M.

Pros Basecamp can be used for so many things! I am amazed by the features of this software. It is easy to use and so convenient to keep track of things. We can easily make 'To Do' lists, ensuring everyone knows what there job is and when it due. It is perfect. We don't have to waste time by going to meetings and it easily increases our productivity. This app is almost perfect! Cons It was very difficult to find a negative thing about this app but I guess, when there is a lot of projects going on, it can be difficult to keep track of all the messages of the various different groups.

Although the customizations and integrations are less it does serve our purpose of bringing every stakeholder of the project together at one place.

Pros \- great way to manage multiple projects and keep a track of each and every one. - Priority settings and to-do list features are great - tool helps in forecasting the resources and also gives the picture of resource allocation - create and assign multiple teams and groups - very simple to use Cons \- not for medium to large sized companies. - Integrations are limited. - although collaboration is good, it does lack the time tracking Review Source Matt P.

If you're into that, then Basecamp is the tool for you! Pros It's better than a pen and paper for sure. No question there. And a case could be made that it's better than email, but I'm not convinced of that Cons It's supposed to make your life easier, but it does the opposite. You know how you have to have check your email and phone regularly? You can just add Basecamp to the list, but it's worse, because at least you get notified of emails...

It allows you to work with your teammates the right way. I really love the feature of the Campfires, it's like "a place" for every project your team is working in. Cons It's not too wasy to use. Nowadays you can use another tool much easier. I think it needs a "kanban-like" tool for the projects. Review Source JR Jon R.

Pros Our team has been using Basecamp now for nearly two years. We have seen productivity and time management increase due to the full adoption of this tool among the marketing and digital teams. Project tracking, individual to-do assignment calendars and reminders, and the communication tools have been most helpful for our teams.

Marketing Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not the best " October 9, 2019 3.0 I’ve never seen Basecamp implemented well in an organization. With so many actual project management systems out there that are easier to use and also free, I don’t get why people continue to use this. Basecamp had its time but it is now a blast from the past. For marketing and project management purposes, this is a big no! If you department uses this, push for a change. There are other solutions out there that will make your life easier. Pros I really don’t have many positive things to say. It’s free, but there are a lot of free options nowadays. It’s pretty easy to get a once over glance at everything on your to do list too. Cons Awful for project management, there are SO many better free options. Easy to delete or skip over things accidentally. Awful for collaboration. Difficult to find files. Confusing to find things that are archived. Not good if you need to communicate deadlines clearly. Easy to have important info lost in endless strands of conversation. Review Source Rosmer B.

Cons The bad thing is that it does not keep control of the members who participate in the organization so it is necessary to apply a resource management agenda, this will undoubtedly improve the management of the project, since you can have more control of the participants .

Pros The interface makes it easy to determine project deadlines, to easily do re-assignments and communicate with teammates on each task.
