August 24, 2018 5.0 Pros Working at an institution of higher education, there were many parties involved in trying to get anything done. Waiting to find a time when everyone was available to schedule a meeting was incredibly frustrating. Basecamp allowed for smooth communication between stakeholders in order to complete a plethora of projects in a timely and efficient manner. I very much love the ability to download and edit documents quickly and clearly along with the ability to approve final products including the funding! Cons Initially the login process was a little challenging but once I got the hang of it, it was a breeze! Review Source Aziza J.

Pros It's reliable and easy to use, you can use it almost for any purpose of having all the information in one place. Cons Sometimes I miss more information from members profile.

Instructional Designer Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management Without the Clutter" June 30, 2018 4.0 Unlike most of the other PM tools I have used in the last several years, Basecamp's smart but limited features prevents the tool from becoming the focus of your work. Pros Basecamp's features, layout, notification management, and software philosophy goes a long to helping you keep first things first — your project. It doesn't offer so many options that you end up spending more time managing your project than doing your project. Cons Basecamp 3, the latest version, needs more and better integrations with other software. Basecamp 2 was more robust in this respect. Also, it needs to enable users to integrate with Zapier in a way that allows use of templates. Right now, that's not an option. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Technical Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its a great product to manage your tasks" May 17, 2019 5.0 Its a really nice, clean and user friendly application to manage your tasks. This good for small and medium scale business to manage there tasks and communicate. Pros Easy to manage the projects, tasks and work flows. Cons When we are commenting through one thead, its become very long. Then UI is a bit mess.

Digital Performance Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple & Easy Interface" November 15, 2018 5.0 Pros This is one of the most easy project management systems to use! The simple layout makes organizing and finding documents very easy. Cons The only item I think this software lacks is a live timer in the platform that allows you to add that time to a particular task. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Deployment Services Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Basecamp for Email Marketing" April 27, 2019 5.0 Projects are better managed and stay on track to meet deadlines. Pros I use basecamp in conjunction with my clients for email marketing requests. Basecamp makes it easy to collaborate and keep track of timelines and projects. Cons Nothing! Basecamp has been the perfect tool for my job. Review Source Kyle M. Marketing Dude Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Doesn't overdo it" April 25, 2019 5.0 I've used Basecamp to help organize some events. My friends have used it more completely and I've observed their workflows which are impressive. Pros I've used a lot of different project management tools and the majority of them do too much. I generally feel like using them fully is so much work. Basecamp breaks that mold nicely by offering only the essential features and doing them really well. Getting acquainted with Basecamp and using it productively takes minutes. Plus I really like the company and their values. They're inspiring to all other bootstrapped startups. Cons If your project management needs are really complex or bespoke, you might be better off with something else. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Product Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Return to basics for collaboration tools" January 8, 2019 5.0 Pros Great for teams looking to share and collaborate around one simple space. I found the 30 day trial long enough to see if it was the right tool for my team. Cons External companies to yours might prefer other tools but for project management this one hits the mark. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Creative Strategist Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great project tool!" December 4, 2018 4.0 It's now a fundamental tool for our business, used across every department to delivery our creative projects Pros Easy to use / great collobration tool and simple enough that the whole team picked it up. Cons Would be great if it could work a little bit more as a job pocket system, i.e budgets Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Communications Advocate Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Basecamp makes tracking project tasks, documents and deadlines, easy to track in one place. " July 10, 2018 5.0 My favorite part of Basecamp is the easy-to-read design of timelines and tasks. Rather than seeing a boring to-do list of bullet points, the software allows you to easily track your campaign from start to finish. I also like how the projects have separate folders for scheduling, documents, to-do's and messaging; making it easy to keep all project history organized in one place. Pros The best part of Basecamp the timeline of projects displayed on the front page that makes it easy to see project activity, chats and deadlines all in one place. Rather than have a list of to-do's and deadlines, the timeline feature allows you to see who is doing what in real time, making you feel like you're not just checking off tasks but really working as a team to get things accomplished. The second feature I like best about Basecamp is the ability to assign team members certain tasks so that they are not overloaded with everyone else's deadlines but solely their tasks. Cons The chatting feature was a bit confusing. When I responded only to my manager, I wasn't 100% confident that it was a private message. One time I meant to only respond to my manager but responded to everyone on the project thread. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Of Digital Marketing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Easy to use for most people. Some interface issues (somethings are hard to access)" January 19, 2018 4.0 Great intro to this type of service. A team comprised of younger users who can learn new software quickly will benefit greatly from Basecamp. Teams comprised of older users and people who struggle to learn new software, however, will most likely not use the software at all opting for more traditional methods of communication and collaboration (email, Fax Ect.) Pros Great for team collaboration. Love the ability to assign a task to my team. Sharing documents is very helpful however my team still tends to use google docs and google drive for most projects. I also enjoy the instant message functions. Cons Brand Specific labeling for actions and functions (Campfires, Pings, Ect.). This is really only a problem when trying to teach older users how to work inside basecamp. The Names of functions absolutely slows down the learning for these users and in many cases prevents them from ever really learning how to use the software. The younger members of my team tend to not have as many issues with this. Review Source Ivan W. Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trustworthy" June 18, 2019 5.0 It has saved me many headaches and a couple of times even got me covered legally. I have used it with my clients to even achieve an ISO certification using it as the main process documentation tool. Pros Basecamp comes from the guys that wrote Rework and Remote. Whenever I need to help organizations reconstruct their mindset, or whenever I have more than a couple of big projects, I use Basecamp. Cons Costs. It cost money monthly. But it's worthy. The reason I put this as a Con is because when you are building something sometimes you don't have the monthly fee. Reason for choosing Basecamp Most simple, easy to use and professional tool. Also, it reminds you every day that you belong to a certain project. Review Source MG Marquan G. Delivery Driver Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Delivery Driver Basecamp Review " March 29, 2022 5.0 Pros I love the way we can send out an update to everyone and have them on the same page. Cons It’s hard to find anything to not like about the product. Review Source Md. Abdul W. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Project Management Software" April 21, 2020 5.0 I'm using this software for the last 5 years for the Project Management & Team Communication with my buyer. It is very user-friendly. Pros This software has many features. I like it very much for Project Management & Team Communication. Cons I see this software is very useful and no cons I found yet. Review Source Tina J. Owner. Writer. Editor. Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for Freelance Work" November 13, 2018 4.0 It's helps keep writing content organized and streamlined. It is a wonderful platform. Pros As a freelance writer, I use many different content management platforms depending on my client preferences. However, Basecamp is one of my favorites. The functionality, such as Campfire chats, Pings, and task scheduling are great. It's intuitive. Cons Although it's intuitive, there's a lot to learn. It takes time to inititally navigate and organize. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My top choice to project manage." February 12, 2019 5.0 Really happy with it. Every new iteration comes with more intuitive features. Pros It's easy, simple, and intuitive. Layouts are good and clean. No big learning curve for clients and partners. Cons The expense is the only hurdle. It would be something to consider when using this product. Review Source Nishit M. Chief Design Officer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Undoubtedly a Collaboration System" December 5, 2021 4.0 Overall, Basecamp provides lots of features that are required for managing a remote team. Considering their pricing, I feel they are providing more than one could have asked for. No doubt there are a few issues that they need to resolve but in all, it's a good collaboration system Pros Their interface is the best thing about the Basecamp. Just after using it for a few minutes, you will feel addicted to this. The best part is that one can collaborate with your team members as well as people outside your organization. I like how they made it super handy to add/remove files under projects. Cons Linking calendar events to a specific project is not possible which is very bad. On the other hand, the notification system does not seem to work all the time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Client Services Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great project management platform for any sized business" March 9, 2018 5.0 Ability to create a centralized project dashboard as well as communicate across team members collaboratively. Pros Very simple to use, and you have the ability to use as many or as few features as you wish. Interface is very clean and easy to understand. As a web-based platform, you are able to access from anywhere. Cons The scheduling feature wasn't quite as robust as I would have needed for advertising project management related timelines. Review Source AL Alexander L. Manager, Digital Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Basecamp and I don't say this lightly." February 1, 2017 5.0 I use Basecamp for managing communications and project management in my day to day agency work. I've been using the platform for a little over 2 years in total and it's been one of the best-supported, most highly functional tools I've encountered. Basecamp doesn't do everything in the world. Rather, it has an exceptionally strong set of core features: task management, shared workspaces, etc. that solve the problems faced by modern teams bogged down with email communication. Coupled with an array of 3rd party vendors who extend the base systems functionality, Basecamp offers "enterprise" level functionality at an affordable price. Pros Basecamp offers really solid core features and serious bugs are rare. Cons There are a few features, like the ability to create task dependencies that would be really nice for managing larger, more complex projects. You can find these features in 3rd party tools that connect with Basecamp (TeamGantt, etc.), so this is not usually a major concern. Review Source SC Srikanth C. Digital Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple Yet Powerful team collaboration platform" May 25, 2022 4.0 We didn't have a kanban view and it was not very customizable Pros It's fairly easy to set it up and our entire team felt it really easy to get adopted. The email triggers for any tasks assigned work perfectly and we had a wonderful experience using the tool. Cons It's very expensive and doesn't support a lot of features as seen in Clickup. Reason for choosing Basecamp Ease of setup Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Basecamp is essential for project management" November 4, 2018 5.0 I have used Basecamp in a variety of settings and it has always been a rock-solid solution for project management. Pros Basecamp is easy to use and is a great collaboration tool for managing projects between multiple people and/or departments. Cons I wish they had more third-party integrations. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Communication Coordinator Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Basecamp is the best solution we've found for streamlining the management of large events & tasks." March 8, 2018 5.0 The largest benefit is the ability to keep track of every small detail and task associated with a larger project (or in our case, planning a large event). I love the ability to add a large number of people to the task team so we can all track our tasks in one place! Pros I like the ability to add a lot of varied individuals to the project. I like that you can be on multiple different projects within Basecamp. I like that there's a way for me to easily see all the tasks assigned to me (or someone else). It's a great way to keep things cataloged for future similar projects as well - just copy tasks from one project into the next and you have a great start! Cons Sometimes there are so many capabilities that the user interface can be a bit daunting. I don't use the campfire or message board capabilities much, if at all. Review Source Stephen F. Business Development Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent solution for cross-functional teams" February 6, 2019 5.0 Overall, I love the product and have used it for several of my side businesses when needing to delegate and elevate to our design and customer service teams. Pros I absolutely love the way this aggregates user input related to tasks. It makes it very easy to assign, communicate, and manage important tasks amongst cross-functional teams. Cons The only thing I'm not the biggest fan of is the overall user interface in regards to navigation. It's different from other tools I've used like teamwork and intervals. It's unique and I know plenty of teams that love it but I struggle to get used to it and prefer a more classic navigational experience. Review Source Similar Products Featured
