Basecamp Software

Organize, delegate, report all in one product.

Pros

Basecamp has become the modus operandi for our entire department. We initially wanted to use it for tracking online courses but have since developed a robust quality assurance team and process as well as other office related tasks like media production requests all into one sweet, team-based package.

Cons

The notifications are not as customizable as they need to be. They're still too centralized- more on/off than which ones would you like. Several of our team members have them completely off because of the mass amounts of notification emails they would receive otherwise.

It is very useful and effective, I have obtained many great results of this software I use it daily and I have not had any problems with it.

Pros

I like it because when performing a job it is ideal for the expected performance. It is a super fast and trained software so that the design that we want is optical and unique able to reach both positive and negative reviews of the spectators.

Cons

What I do not like is that it does not have enough security and it is necessary to comply with this characteristic in order to obtain a better result and greater responsibility for what is going to be projected.

Pros

Basecamp offers all the tools you need to manage a project, all in an easy to use package. When I first logged in I thought "Oh dear, this is going to be hard to figure out," but once I had clicked around for a few minutes I felt very at home and knew where everything was. With Basecamp you can keep track of files, progress, discussions, and more, all in one place. I especially love that Basecamp offers different ways to view information (cards, lists, a timeline, things that apply just to you, or just to-dos that aren't finished) so that you can view in a way that is comfortable for you, or just see what needs doing, or see progress in different ways. Personally, I think having a project organized like this makes it more fun and less intimidating, which is great.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any cons to Basecamp. I think I still prefer Trello for keeping track of simple tasks and to-dos, but for more complex projects with multiple team members, Basecamp is great.

Pros

This is great for posting general information where people can provide any sort of feedback on. I used this with my clients as a type of "homework" where my team and I would post information and pose questions and they would respond and check it off.

Cons

One of my major cons with this is that it's too basic. Adding people into a post can be time consuming and it can look too overwhelming if you have too many checklist/posts.

Pros

Keeps everyone informed of their tasks within a project. Insures project is complete in a timely manner.

Cons

Can become a bit confusing when using through email. Better when you use the actual platform, more efficient.

Pros

Is a good tool to start organizing your team and to have everyone focus, has features to maintain everybody connected and to track progress between them

Cons

Is too pricey from my point of view, there are other tools that helps you do the same with less budget.

Pros

Basecamp was a life saver for me during my time working remotely with a team in a different state. Having notes and files uploaded in one spot by client was PERFECT to keep projects in place and in order.

Cons

It was a fairly new product when I utilized it, so functionality was lacking a little bit... we ended up using Google Drive for certain things. This could have improved since then!

Pros

I highly recommend this for managing work projects
10 Projects for Free Given at inception
Easy to Use
Easy to Upload docs and keep all areas of a project organized
Easy to control who sees what

Cons

Initially, if you are new to the interface, it can be confusing, but if you view the videos and look around the management of the interface becomes easy

Basecamp has benefited me because I have noticed that based on my co-workers, we have been able to create and innovate in the area of ​​projects, we have been able to present projects in the short, medium and long term without having to resort to complex functions.

Pros

I like Basecamp because the projects that are developed here are much easier to present and send, since you can share this project through the team conversation that Basecamp has implemented.

Cons

I have no complaints from Basecamp, until the sun today, has fulfilled me by providing all the necessary features to have a neat job and some projects firsthand.

I like using Basecamp. We've learned to get more out of it by being creative. Still, a few more options would be helpful with things like scheduling tasks, and having better options for the calendar features.

Pros

Basecamp is easy to use. It's basic, but that's actually a plus. If you're looking for something simple and don't need a lot of bells and whistles, this might be just what you've been looking for.

Cons

Basecamp isn't very customizable. What you see is what you get. You can create some basic templates, but the options are limited. Plus, it's a little outdated. That's not necessarily a bad thing. If you're not looking for a bunch of options and just need a system to store notes, customer contact, and track projects, Basecamp may be just right for you.

Overall a great product for small business or consulting project management.

Pros

Basecamp is easy to use and intuitive. It allows team members to add and complete tasks in a project management framework. The interface is friendly and intuitive. I like the addition of social cards to comment on work people have done. Sometimes a simple click of a button that encourages a team member with a "good job" is really helpful for morale building. Projects are assigned easily with this software, and documents can be created right in the system, or easily uploaded.

Cons

I do not like the Basecamp home page. I frequently get lost on what button I need to select to actually get to where I need to go. Once I am past the home page I can maneuver easily and the layout is more intuitive.

I would highly recommend Basecamp 3 as your only one spot for project management.

Pros

it's very easy to use once you try it for a few days. You can track everyhing that happens and all tasks and conversations are gather very organized in a single solution. Pricing it's very reasonable.

Cons

notifications can be a bit anoying. I don't love the messages about "what are you working on today".

Basecamp has benefited me within my company because I have managed to do some projects with a better design and a better presentation for my employees. They are clean projects where you can appreciate the great utility that Basecamp provides.

Pros

What I like the most about Basecamp is that it is a software that is free to use up to a certain limit, clearly you have to pay to use other features, but the basic use is available for free and this generates a certain trust with the client.

Cons

I do not like that Basecamp does not allow additional time to the client to pay the membership, because when it is due, it must be paid immediately, otherwise, it can not be used anymore, this is very annoying.

Basecamp is a great simple software for smaller businesses or groups.

Pros

What I liked most about the Basecamp software was how it really brought together everything with a simple platform and kept it organized.

Cons

This software is definitely tailored more so to smaller groups or businesses, needs to add in more options for access.

Product was good overall and pricing was straight forward.

Pros

Software was easy to use and get set up. Was able to invite others easily to work on a project and assign everyone accordingly. Good customer service

Cons

I upgraded from the free version and was expecting more project management than the software really delivered.

The customer support is out of this world. Team Basecamp is constantly making improvements that do not interfere with the daily use of the system. AND they experiement on themselves. They know what works and what keeps people working.

Pros

Basecamp keeps all of our project managment, communication, updates, to-dos, and peace of mind all in one place.

Cons

I genuinely do not have a complaint about Basecamp. The product is exactly what we need it to be. One wish would be to get time tracking back like on the OG Basecamp. We don't want to have to go somewhere else when we already love you, Basecamp!

Pros

It is on mobile and on your PC...everywhere!!
Easy to set up, very user-friendly, Compared to other cheap.

Cons

You cannot remove your data in a human-readable format.
If you get Basecamp you are with them FOREVER!!! unless you pay a third-party to get your data for you!

Pros

Basecamp is a great way to stay on track with team tasks. You can assign tasks and place a deadline for each.

Cons

when you complete all the tasks in a list, the title of the list disappears instead of staying there empty. There should be an option either to delete it or not. Oftentimes I want the name of the list there but know there is nothing on the list pending.

Basecamp has benefited me because I have seen that it has improved the performance of my employees, it has improved the projects that are carried out day by day, making them much more comfortable and with better work integrity.

Pros

I like that Basecamp has such a comfortable design, some time ago I used a very ugly software and I liked it for its functions, but I got bored, however, when I found Basecamp, I totally felt what it is to carry out a project in a comfortable environment without get bored for no reason

Cons

I do not like at all that Basecamp has such a bad form of communication, although it is true that Basecamp has a channel to add members and talk, but it has many erorres, in several occasions the messages are not sent correctly.

I have benefited from the use of Basecamp because I have managed to go beyond a simple project, I have managed to establish better communication with my team at Basecamp and achieve projects with better business design.

Pros

Basecamp is very simple, but what I like most about it is that in spite of having a simple interface, I really like the functions it has, since these functions make a personalized and almost automatic work in each project.

Cons

Basecamp is very complicated to use with respect to some project functions, because this software nowhere has a section to share instructions of its use.
