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.

Love this software and ability to update on the fly. This software is a critical part of my job and would highly recommend this product.

The basics are easy to use and understand, but it is amazing how many features and abilities this software has that go beyond basic project management.

A great tool to build together a project schedule to help manage and control project work. It offers baseline management an budget management as well.

There was always customer support available for help and support if we needed assistance. It was obviously very easy to integrate and navigate with our other Microsoft programs.

It is helping us in managing and tracking our internal projects. I would love to recommend this tool to the project management experts.

The best feature of this software is the easy integration with other files and software. The features are easy to navigate making a seamless transition of working with documents in teams.

This is a software to schedule different tasks of project, analyze them, and monitor the progress. And it is really good in all of these tasks.

Excellent program, very helpful and keeps you organize and within deadlines.

It is helping us in effectively managing our projects finding the right cost for projects and others.

It is easy to use and a big help with organizing. I use it more personally than on a professional level.

Once it is known at a high level how the tool works, it is one of the most complete and robust on the market. The planning and monitoring of tasks is excellent.

It was really a grim time when some tool told you the bonus wouldn't be available to you in the current quarter.

As a Microsoft tools it has a great integration with other MS solution as name above, but it’s hard to integrate with externals apps.

Reporting features is really advanced. It is very easy to integrate with other tools.

The great thing I like most about MS Project is that it's interface is quiet similar to that of other MS Office products, such as MS Excel.

Good for medium-large projects. The customer support is good as always because it's a Microsoft product.

Project is good at the data entry portion and ease of use. Since many people are familiar with the Office suite of products, it is a more natural software to use.

Overall very useful once you learn all the capabilities. Recommended to use if have a larger work community.

Love the simplicity of the user side and the ability to tie into schedules , assign tasks and communicate to the group.

This is one amazing software that it's usefulness can't be overemphasized. So many useful functions that could make your work faster and easier.

It is difficult to use for the first time and the documentation is confusing and unfriendly. There are very few tutorials from the manufacturer with which to learn the use.

Easy tracking and monitoring of projects with Gantt chart that is not complicated. Suitable for handling large projects with ease.

I did not find anything so far that troubles me about this software.

These programs are good to visualize the future of the project, I can not say that Microsoft PPM is the best tool for this. However, this is what Iget from this software.

I have to use both programs at work and it gets frustrating.

It’s a very simple software. Ve used other scheduling softwares like Primavera, and this doesn’t compare with everything you can do for it, but it’s a much more cost friendly alternative.

Love how PPM begins to learn your projects and has seamless integrations when changing your projects.

This software is amazing especially when it comes to organize your team and the time of your project.

Allows all team memebers to track the tasks, dealines and collaborate. Good for managing multiple projects or big enterprice project - linear PM.

For new user and working with big project is difficult to find a link task mistake. Often i have to check one by one the dates and costs.

My only negative regarding this software is that it's costly. But, you get what you pay for.

Long projects restrict you using the same file format and same program version. Have had problems while saving in never file formats.

I use the program for a shorter time and in the meantime I get used to all the options it offers, but it is definitely a great benefit for the company in my opinion.
