The ease of use with this software is really nice, if your company is like ours, we have companies all over the country.

Outstanding performance, highly accessible, easy to use and the pricing is by far the best.

I really enjoy it as a user and highly recommend it to all organizations  as the best in value for money.

The ease of use and ability to have non organizational resources be a part of projects  is fantastic.

Great, happy to use it and happy to keep using it. If you haven't tried it and need an organizer system, do it.

I loved how clean it was and clients thought it was cool. I liked per project dashboards.

I love the ability to quickly track progress with my teams, and circle up as if we were beside each other.

I love that Basecamp has a small learning curve, has a simple, fun interface, and makes it super easy to manage all of your projects.

Phone and desktop app were helpful, as well as a ton of integration options with other popular software.

It's been wonderful, the price is great, and the customer service can't be beat.

Basecamp was a great experience. We tried several project management apps and liked this the best, minus the monthly cost.

I was very hesitant about using this product but I love the set up, very easy to navigate. It’s a great product, extremely user friendly.

Fantastic customer support. The pre loaded projects in Basecamp help you to wrap your head around what you can do with the platform.

I love the ability to categorize, assign and check off task. I also love the easy calendar integration.

Integration of basecamp with our existing product turn out be very wonderful.

Collaboration tools have been useful in working with our team over the past year. I've liked the ability to track progress the most.

I am a multi-disciplinary designer myself, and despite trying (very hard) several times to use Basecamp, I just can't get past how ugly, unintuitive, and clunky the UI is.

The interface is amazing, perfect for those of who are visual. Great tracking and historical snapshots.

Great tools for task management and organization. And good integration with email for less technical users can email responses to questions.

I just found it boring that you can only view one person's task list at a time, if you have a project with multiple members, it makes it difficult.

It is integrated with limited software which restricts to carry out multidimensional projects. It’s pricing is also very high, it restrict its use for small organizations.

User-friendly, intuitive, great for collaborating and keeping track, excellent for remote work, super nice choice.

It has been a huge asset and we have all loved watching the progression of projects and campaigns we are working on.

Lot of functionalities like to-dos, message boards, Schedule. Really great if you work in a team and also really fast to communicate with your client via customer support or with your teamates.

We all had different employers but worked together for the greater good, a collaborative approach to solving this need.

I'm very satisfied and happy with this software I 100% recommend it to everyone, everything is easy to use not complicated at all and everything is well explained.

I could see it being a useful tool for managing satellite volunteer groups. It was a good experience, and provided the means to have good conversation, generate some ideas, and post documents.

What I love about most about Basecamp is the ability to communicate and have ongoing conversations with people who are involved in the project.

The cost and ease of use, it's very straightforward. Being able to track what everyone assigned to a certain task/project is doing, and ensuring deadlines/goals are being met are great.

We were able to provide better forecasting and manage budgets against timelines. All time entry is much better managed in a central location.

Learner and find it super easy to use and customise.

Integrations and API - An excellent Salesforce bridge is available and can be fully customised (if you know Java!).

I think it is pretty easy to use. I like that includes most information about the projects that I manage.

The inability to adjust the invoice to suit our needs, it a very standard set up.

A lot of complexities that get lost or are irrelevant to what we use it for. Other teams using the software have issues with reporting.

It's stable and reliable. Mavenlink has never been down.

The amount of features and customization available is extensive and great for teams that like to organize minute details.

I joined a small creative agency as a consultant to help improve their project management systems.

Budget tracking is easy and effective, although depending on configuration, it can differ between the finances and budget tabs within a project.

Overall I feel that Mavenlink is average. The people I've worked with there have been kind, helpful and have average to good customer service.

I also like how you can budget towards individual tasks/milestones. It's also good to see an overview of staff's availability and schedule them on specific days for projects.

I know it might sound odd, but having to sign in as someone who needs to sign off on invoices is weird.

To boot, the customer service is awesome and they stick to their promise of continuing to invest in and improve the project over time.

Love that I can sync time into Quickbooks for invoicing. Also love it for time tracking and project management.

Robust reporting, integration to NetSuite, hierarchical team management, Activity feed.

With the integrated APIs to Salesforce and Active Directory, among others, it's worked well to seamlessly stay in sync with the rest of our systems.

Beside that 10%, it covers all the needs for most of the projects in any field. I would like to highlight their great customer service.

The client success and technical support teams have been exemplary to work with.

Easy to use and intuitive. The Mavenlink team is with you at every stage to help you with the  design, implementation, build, and maintenance/support.

Overall, using Mavenlink has been great - it has made a very positive impact on day-to-day functions as a business.

Very strong resourcing tools. Travel expense is nice and plays well with other tools with integration.

It meets all our department's needs, I love the activity feed and the overall view of all our projects. Also great reporting tool.

You'll need to edit each task manually. There are issues with email notifications - there were a few outages last year that resulted in delayed notifications which impacted our work.

I like how easy to use this software is, the functionality and design are great and the site is very easy to navigate.

The only Con I can think of is the inability to have the status of a project or the task drive accessibility.

Mavenlink has been a great improvement over our previous solution in its abilities with data and reporting. Looking forward to leveraging more of its features over time.

Project Management and Invoicing features are useless.

Integrations are fairly difficult and complex.

Mavenlink helps my team to manage resources, tasks, clients and budget in an extremely efficient and streamlined manner.

We have been using this product for over 2 years now. It is fantastic making sure our designers are on top of the projects they need to work on.

Master planning - easy to use and understand once I got into the swing of it. Once of the most useful features for our company.

I found this software to be more confusing as a non-project manager.

Robust and highly customizable with endless opportunities to make it work for your specific business. When set up and configured it’s a powerful business tool.

The time tracking and resource allocation features are very well integrated into the system (and with other systems like Jira).

Constantly improving the software. It's clear they understood their clientele and the way consulting firms operate when they built the software.

Visualization is very poor. Setting up tasks for project is very cumbersome.

My overall experience with Mavenlink was fantastic and I would recommend it to other professionals.

I have found it a slow and painful process to implement Mavenlink and discover the breadth of its functionality. The software is not very intuitive and frustrating to learn how to use.
