Pros

I like the ease the layout of the app. You can have different chats going on. You can also upload files and documents and keep them all in one place.

Cons

Nothing so far. I have only been using it a few months and it’s been great so far.

Pros

Basecamp is a great service if you're managing a lot of files and sharing them with a large team or even other business partners. It makes sharing files and tracking project progress easy.

Cons

It was a bit more complex than our small business/non-profit needed, so we didn't feel like we were using enough of the features to justify the (pretty reasonable) cost.

Pros

I find it very helpful for project management. Implementation is simple and straight forward along with great customer support. It makes my team better connected and work more closely.

Cons

It is almost bug free and error free but while working on large project with a real-time updates it might slow down. It has not slowed me down but some of my team members faced this issue.

Pros

What sets Basecamp apart is that it has a central communication hub along with tasks and lists to keep everything organized in one location. The automatic check-in feature on the platform helps team members frequently share updates on their progress, allowing for seamless communication and holding everyone in one piece throughout the design process.

Cons

Basecamp itself is a useful app, but their file management system could be better since there is no sorting and tagging as advanced as in CI or GitLab. It would also be extremely helpful to further customize the notification system so that users could more specifically tailor alerts based on urgency or relevance to reduce notification fatigue.

Pros

Easy to implement to the company. Supporting tasks and project management. Easy to connect companies outside the business.

Cons

Missing some functions in tasks editing.

Cons

Should show cards and boards as like jira

Pros

What I liked about Basecamp is its professionalism in document management and an easy and simple interface that anyone can rely on. I highly recommend Basecamp.

Cons

Everything looks good on Basecamp, except that there is a slight problem, which is that the program crashes suddenly sometimes

Pros

Basecamp has a clean interface and it is easy to use Basecamp. It helps our team to collaborate on projects with others. It is easy to manage tasks with Basecamp.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about Basecamp.

Pros

I love the the user interface is easy to learn and use. It's laid out in a way that makes intuitive sense for juggling multiple projects at once and has many features that keep to-do lists easy to track and the activity of everyone on the team visible.

Cons

It can be tricky to figure out how some of the tracking works and which feature best helps your organize your work. Sometimes there are more items than you need and it would be nice to be able to remove more features from the dash and menu if you don't use them.

Pros

It is easy to find what you're looking for in Basecamp once you've got your head around the program. We really like the way the program is a platform for team and project management all in one. It makes the management of every aspect of business easier!

Cons

The one thing I personally didn't like was it felt a bit of a clunky interface and was not exactly easy to start using, took a while to figure it all out. But once you're familiar with it and have worked out the clunky bits, it does get easier to use!

Pros

You can create tasks for your agency, set up the deadline. Chat under the task if something is not clear.
You can upload files.
You see a clear timeline of "events" - what particular users did (comment, upload file,..)

Cons

You cannot open some files within Basecamp, you have to download it.

Pros

As a consultancy, Basecamp made it easy to keep all our projects in one place while only inviting clients to view their own tickets, keeping our developers sane.

Cons

Basecamps simplicity is both it's finest feature and it's only shortcoming. Some companies have more convoluted workflows that require more advanced features.

Pros

I really like how easy it is to create posts and tag others to look at them - we use it a lot for internal communication about clients so having tags available is very useful.

Cons

I don't love that there is not a more centralized way to chat with coworkers, or that there isn't a great way to organize multiple chunks of projects.

Pros

What I love most is how easy it is to use. No tech headaches, just smooth sailing. It's like they read our minds and knew exactly what a team needs.

The chatting part is awesome. We can talk in real-time, share files without pulling our hair out, and keep everything super organized on message boards. No more lost convos or digging through emails!

And guess what? Notifications are on point. Not too much, not too little – just the right amount to keep us in the loop without feeling overwhelmed. Moreover, we can set the notifications as per our own convinience.
Thumbs up, Basecamp!

Cons

Just wanted to say, love using the platform, but gotta be real about a couple of things.
Uploading big files in the chat takes a bit too long. And watching videos on the message board is kind of slow, even with good internet.
Can we speed up file stuff and make videos play faster? That would be awesome.

Pros

Basecamp offers an outstanding combination of communication functions which makes it easy for teammates to share information and collaborate more during projects. It helps harmonize all project details into one dashboard which makes it easy to visualize and monitor projects progress. It has a simple and simply designed user interface which makes it easy to use.

Cons

Basecamp has been so perfect and there has been absolutely nothing to like least about it.

Pros

It has a very user friendly interface, there is a mobile app to work alongside the web application. It has common features that are in parity with other services.

Cons

There is a lot of hidden costs that creep in and sometimes they didn't catch up to the features that should be offered.

Pros

Basecamp has been instrumental on keeping everyone informed about all the moving pieces of our marketing. We make our deadlines due to this software and the reminders

Cons

I feel the overall software could be updated to be a little more user friendly. It feels like it could be a little more flexible in design.

Pros

We have two teams using basecamp. We use to track project, to share updates and followups of activity. For us its easy to use. Its easy to create chat rooms for each of the clients and project management.

Cons

One thing I like the least is the response of the support team it takes a little bit of time.

Its task planning features help us to set clear plans that keep us focused to achieving our project objectives. Basecamp also has amazing reporting functions that offer all the project insights we need to access our performances during projects. Its live project dashboards makes it easy to monitor the real time progress of our project tasks.

Pros

Extensive suite of features, can manage large projects easily and across larger teams, and with several complex moving parts. Good file storage, threads, to dos, can do a lot with it

Cons

Can be overly complex/overkill for smaller projects. Needs a bit of tweaking to get it to match your requirements re: communications cadence, use of features, and mild training with internal/external team

Pros

Basecamp is the perfect solution for simplicity and efficiency. It has just what you need to manage projects, communications, and almost any collaborative work. You're not flooded with a ton of features that you'll never use.

The message board is simple, yet effective, with just enough customisability. Most importantly, it's a product built for their own use case - so Basecamp's authors are using the platform to build their entire business around it.

They have a ton of free resources, with my favourite being the Shape Up book about how Basecamp runs research & discovery on the platform.

Cons

They've improved many of the things I didn't like, so I think the only remaining issue is that you can't set tasks to recur every 8+ days. It caps out at 7. It's a niche use case, but I needed it a few times already and had to work around this.

Pros

Basecamp has single page projects that are relatively simple to use. The to-do lists are easy to use as well. Basecamp can also handle large file transfers.

Cons

Basecamp isn’t the most user friendly software available. It’s quirky and somewhat difficult to figure out what to do if you aren’t familiar with the software.

Pros

Basecamp is a unified workspace that manages all areas of everyday operations and duties for our company's management. It provides dozens of sales and marketing automation rules, charts, reports and calendar which are most appropriate for our organization.

Very straightforward. It has maintained a clean reputation with us. I highly value Basecamp.

Basecamp for me is the best and has no issues.

Pros

Basecamp has given us ability to communicate with clients all over the world in order to get projects done. Basecamp allows members to share ideas inorder to come up with powerful outcomes. Working on projects has been easy because of collaborations which makes tasks get done faster.

Cons

Basecamp for me has done well and doesn't have anything negative to talk on.

Pros

Basecamp provides a single, organized space for all project-related activities. Whether it’s discussions, tasks, files, or schedules, everything resides within a project’s dedicated page.

Cons

For new users, Basecamp’s interface can be a bit overwhelming initially. The abundance of features and options might take some time to get used to.

Cons

There is nothing to dislike with Basecamp.

Pros

I like how Basecamp has everything in one place, messages, to-dos, files, schedule. For instance, when we were working on a remote team project, the message board feature also eliminated email threads going off on tangents, and automatic check-ins ensured that everyone was accountable without coming across as micromanagers.

Cons

Advanced features are missing for more complex projects. Also, the interface is simple but somewhat dated compared with more modern tools.

Pros

The user interface is very friendly,easy to navigate from one point to another,as compared to other tools,it has amazing features such as instant messaging that helps me and my colleagues during projects discussions

Cons

I have not come across any dislike with Basecamp,soo far soo good.

Pros

Simplicity to use the project. It is very easy to use and from day one you can learn how to use this.
It provided every morning notification mail on all the updates of the basecamp task.
Its due date feature help to check the date prior which we have to complete the task

Cons

To be honest i did not find any cons about basecamp its simple to use and provide notifications according.
Only one thing i like less is i am not able to resize the picture which i paste on my basecamp task i think basecamp should work on that

Pros

I love that you can organize & thread different conversations, and it creates easy access for different members of teams that are working on the same projects. You don't have to worry about certain data being available only in someone's email inbox.

Not the most aesthetic or visually pleasing platform, there are some other project management tools that are more aesthetic. However, it's functional

Pros

Basecamp is a reliable tools when it comes to managing projects and tasks through real-time workflow automation.

Cons

I have had no bad experience with Basecamp on my user end.

Pros

Excellent and user-friendly program for having a central location for shared document storage. Better than Google docs because it is not created within a dedicated account, so that when the person who created it leaves, access become problematic. Solved a significant access issue for our multi-disciplinary team.

Cons

No downsides. At first I was slow to use it because it represented yet a whole other new software to get used to, but then when I spent even just a bit of time in it, I realized how extremely easy it is to use

Pros

Basecamp is a hit but not a miss. It is simplified, tailored and integrated into an organized easy to use platform. It's comprehensivity stands out for me that it has a range of functionalities that perfectly suit my task management needs. It's straightforward and unified dashboard allow me to keep track of all my clients appointments. Since it is a default communication platform in the salon we use it as a centralized place where we can share new hairstyles and brainstorm on how to achieve each one of it soo it allows for sharing of any file of any format especially pictures which is the most common in our setup. Getting every appointment on calendar helps with scheduling the appointment to make sure there are no double salon appointments on the same time or day

Cons

Honestly I love every bit of Basecamp and have nothing against it

Pros

The platform is not too complicated, and has all of the functions needed to manage projects. The do list function allows me to map out the entire project, and follow progress throughout. Equally, with the template function, it means that creating a new project can be done very quickly.

Perhaps there could be more updates with added functionality.
