### "Great way to manage projects with a large team"

February 6, 2018

5.0

Helped us manage our projects and tasks with the group - and share it with the client for their input. As the application is pretty solid - it covers all the grounds for project management. Maybe a better reporting solution.

Pros

The beauty of basecamp is it allows you to give access to the client to view projects pending and statuses. This has helped us minimize the calls we have with our clients on updates as they can see on a daily basis their status.

### "Great platform, but it has its limits"

July 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

Great platform, it is robust, feature rich and reliable. I used it to communicate to clients and that was easy to do and pain free.

Cons

It's not as modern as other systems, such as Asana for project management and the API features are hard to work with.

### "Basecamp...the workspace organizer I didn't know I needed"

March 14, 2017

5.0

I was introduced to Basecamp five years ago as an intern. My supervisor used it to collaborate with me on projects. At that point, I only used it because my boss did. When I transitioned into a full-time role, I put Basecamp to the side, not knowing I'd miss it. Once I had interns of my own, I found myself dropping the ball on projects and neglecting client communication. So I turned back to Basecamp. Goodness gracious, it saved my from so much anxiety. I was able to put my clients and my expertise in the same place....and shield various portions of the project from clients until they were ready to be seen. I was able to keep up with which tasks were assigned to which intern. I kept on schedule with to-do lists. Needless to say, I don't know where I'd be without Basecamp. It makes the work atmosphere much more organized and enjoyable.

Pros

To-do lists Assignment features Client inclusion and shielding Calendar feature

Cons

Cap on project space Archiving feature seems more complicated than it should be

### "An easy tool for all"

March 26, 2019

4.0

I'd recommend you give base camp a try for your team.

Pros

We have used many other tools in the past. The problem is actually getting staff to use it. Base camp is easy to use for any user.

Cons

It's hard to think of anything bad about this software for our use case.

### " Basecam control of projects easy and effective!"

September 6, 2018

5.0

Basecamp is a very useful software when it comes to organizing and controlling projects. In my opinion, this tool has greatly simplified the work for the project team and communication flows effectively between team members

Pros

The ease and effectiveness it offers for the control of online projects

Cons

The platform only works online this sometimes can hinder the progress in jobs if there is no connection, although this point has not generated major problems

### "Amazing Project Manager"

March 11, 2020

5.0

It's a great project management software which is goal oriented so it will be perfect for organizations. It's not easy to learn how to use though.

Pros

Great project management software application. It's goal oriented so it makes you get things done. You can create your own project and start implementing to-do lists aswell as milestone and tasks management. It allows you to share and save files so it's really convenient.

Cons

Design isn't great as the application is not very easy to use so some people can have trouble learning how to use it. Other than that, I believe it's a great application

### "I couldn't live without Basecamp"

October 7, 2016

5.0

I've implemented Basecamp at 3 different companies now. It's great and has a very low learning curve which I love. There are some features I'd love to have and to Basecamp's credit they do offer in Basecamp 3 version. However, some of the other changes they made (like changing Projects to be called Basecamps - our people couldn't get past that for some reason! ) caused us to move back to Version 2. Either way, we love it so much that we are willing to overlook the lack of features that we'd love to have. We are spread out among 4 locations and Basecamp helps us keep all of our projects organized.

Pros

ease of use, low learning curve, how useful it is, outstanding customer service

Cons

unable to highlight a projects' status (on hold, with printer, needs feedback, etc)

### "Basecamp"

September 28, 2018

5.0

We use Basecamp to help our team collaborate on different aspects of a project. As a Project Manager I can stay informed of how my team is doing and what work is still not completed.

Pros

I love the interface, its bright and user friendly. I love the fact that my entire team can stay focused on the most important tasks. I can communicate with my team and keep them motivated with daily or weekly messages. It has almost everything you need to manage projects and assign tasks. The customer service was incredible. You post a question on Twitter and get a response right away.

Cons

It is cost prohibitive for small companies. I like that they give one free project but if I wanted to use the software for more projects it would be out of my price range. Some of the features I never use like the campfires and pings but others might find them useful. All in all, I would rather have too many features, even some that I don't use than not have enough.

### "Basecamp is a great project management tool"

March 4, 2021

5.0

My and my teams' experience with Basecamp has only been positive. It's the defacto program for project management.

Pros

Basecamp is very easy to deploy and it's very user-friendly. Even those who aren't techies can easily use Basecamp.

Cons

Frankly, there isn't anything I like least about Basecamp. I really think it is a great product for project management.

### "Great for Project Planning with a Large Team"

February 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

This is a great program for project management as it allows you to easily connect with other people on your team and your clients while working on specific facets of a larger project. Great for planning long term projects and making sure that everyone is all on the same page. I love that it notifies the whole team that is tagged on a certain project whenever anything is updated. I also Love the chat feature as well as the automatic check-in option to make sure everyone is meeting their deadlines! Overall an amazing, feature rich program!

Cons

Its a little more expensive than other similar software options out there for project management , so while I do appreciate their features, I have found he that I am able to accomplish a lot of the same things with less expensive software.

### "A very well equipped but messy collaboration platform"

July 22, 2018

5.0

Beside the software being a bit outdated looking and messy (hard to find the functions you need) Basecamp really offers almost anything you would need working with a team.

Pros

I've only used Basecamp on one project, (back when it was still free) and I really liked the experience. It was perfect for that one project. Beyond assigning tasks and following up, there is a lot more Basecamp can do. I liked the scheduled check ins, saved a lot of work for me. It was very useful to upload files, see the tasks laid out on a timeline and summarize activities in a neat way.

Cons

I really wish it has a free option still. For a software that has some UI imperfections, is a bit too much. Beside all the great tools that Basecamp offers, it is a but clunky and doesn't look too professional. It probably has the thing you need, but will you find it? Some nice clean up for the tools and maybe a bit less compartmentalising would make a huge difference.

Pros

I use this tool to enable me to work remotely across several different companies in diverse industries.

Cons

What could be improved about basecamp would definitely be the addition of an android widget enabling me to see my todo's from my home screen.

### "Underwhelming"

September 27, 2018

4.0

I am a vendor who was added to a client's Basecamp projects, so my experience may be different than those of in-house teams who use Basecamp to collaborate. (I don't know if I have a stripped-down view as a vendor.) It's always felt "just fine" to me--a place to communicate and share timelines and files but not much else. The software appears to be trying to do more than it really can. There's too much information that's disorganized, confusing, and hard to find. Basecamp has been underwhelming to me in its capabilities and organizational abilities.

Pros

Basecamp keeps files, to-do lists, task calendar, and discussions in one place.

Cons

It doesn't feel as robust of a solution as some others, and things are hard to find.

### "Great for tracking our progression, but easy to forget"

June 26, 2018

4.0

Basecamp helped us improve our team work

Pros

I really like how the service makes it easy for me and my team to track each others progression. It is easy to use and user friendly.

Cons

I wish there was some kind of desktop notifications.I quickly stopped visiting the basecamp page on my browser and at some point just stop using it. There's a ''desktop version'', but it is just a copy/paste of the browser version.

### "BRING. BACK. CALENDAR."

September 28, 2019

4.0

I used BaseCamp from its very inception until they took away the calendar feature. I then reluctantly went to Asana.

Pros

I loved this software until they axed the calendar function, which was a HUGE reason I used it! It allowed my team to work together seamlessly.

Cons

Everything was GREAT until they took away the calender. It completely ruined the functionality for me and I had to switch to Asana.

### "Great Collaboration Tool for Media"

November 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

It’s a simple and reliable tool to make publication team more coordinated. It helps editors and writers to connect and work on the same piece of work seamlessly. It’s also versatile, so you can add different types of media to a work (eg photos).

Cons

Integration is not very great, compared with other similar tools (eg wordpress). Automation with customized codes may not be easy. And, the marketing slogan is not clear enough for some people to understand what it does actually.
