Good way to plan the tasks and most important good way to communicate with your coworkers.
Overall my team is extremly happy with it. As I mentioned above it provided us with the flexibility we needed also the shared space of discutions and notes is something that we love!
PROSThe software is relatively simple and offers good onboarding with detailed videos that were provided on YouTube. I loved the fact that you can structure the tasks the way you like and after estimation you can see a visual representation in the calendar tab, personally that helps me a lot. Another thing I like is that you can download the application on your phone and be always up to date with the progress of your team. The product offers good integrations with your email and even storage places such as DropBox. Once you connect your email the events are going to be exported in the 'Feed' section and that is extremely helpful. The project is perfectly suitable for big but also small companies like Startup Central, because it is easier to organize the tasks in projects for the different departments.
CONS1.What annoys me is that the application on the phone logs you out after shord period of time. 2.Personally, I am experiencing difficulties using the 'calendar' tab and connecting the tasks such as which one is sequance of the other. 3.The autocorrect/red underlining in the text areas is disabled, so if you make a mistake such as 'relavitely' does not get underlined in red and you can completely miss it out!
Reasons for switching to BasicOps
In Planner you lack a lot of functinolities that BasicOps provides such as: 1. Better overview and structure over the tasks 2. Better interaction between the responsible people assigned to the tasks – discussion tab/attach files/estimate. 3. After taking on a big task – can be separated on small tasks each of the small tasks have their own ‘space’ for discussions or attached files. 4. Now each action is being logged in the ‘Feed’ and the whole team can see how each one of us progress with their own tasks. 5. We can add external team (such as the board members).

BasicOps, an alternative to help aid your to-do list.
It's an ok experience overall. I won't say that I am disappointed because it allowed my team to manage tasks and assign tasks easiers. But we are not getting anything much more.
PROSBasicOps allows the administrative team to assign tasks and create specific projects for those tasks. It does allow the team to have a little more clarity upon what tasks are being tackled and how far along the task is taking. It also allows communication for the team to know what is happening and communicate clearly.
CONSIt does not allow the team to have real clarity about the progress and status of a project. It does allow the team to get tasks assigned for a specific project but not much is provided than that. It also does not provide a time line for the team, this has to be management externally. And the thing I also disliked is the fact that the tasks disappears once they have been finished. You don't have a way to see historical tasks.
Reason for choosing BasicOps
Because of the price.
Reasons for switching to BasicOps
Because it were under the impression that BasicOps was a more cost-effective option for what we wanted but it didn't turn out to be the case.

I wish it was easier to use
Ultimately, we weren't able to get it to work for us. We still have it on the back burner for now, but until we have the time to figure it out better, we are going back to google docs.
PROSI like the concept. KNowing everything that needs to be done and who is doing it is helpful.
CONSI think that Basic Ops has the capability of being amazing, however it wasn't quite as intuitive as we needed it to be. Either that, or the set up wasn't easy enough. Either way, we all just kind of ended up pretty confused.

Anything *but* "Basic"
BasicOps is anything but basic. We are a boutique business and like many businesses require serious organization without the "bells and whistles" and fancy fanfare. BasicOps not only gets the job done but does so with an efficiency that's uncomplicated and to the point. It's intuitive and a pleasure to use. We're able to manage in-house business while staying on top of client projects/tasks. It's a great compliment to our CRM without competing with it or duplicating features it already has. BasicOps comes highly recommended by us.P.S.One feature we really find it useful for, is managing all of our lifetime deals (LTDs) purchases. It's great for keeping them organized in categories of what to "Consider", needs "Review" before the expiration date approaches, the ones that are a"Keep", and the ones being "Returned". The discussion section helps us identify the pros and cons of a product and reminds us of why we're keeping it or returning it; it also helps prevent any double purchases (yes, been there and actually freak'n did that - SMH). We could go on about how BasicOps has really made a positive influence on how we do business, keep organized, and supports accountability. Huge KUDOS to BasicOps for such a dynamic product!
PROSOne of the main things we liked most about BasicOps is that it's not overly complicated. It has all of the essentials necessary for management software without being over the top.
CONSThere is nothing that comes to mind that we do not like about BasicOps.
Reason for choosing BasicOps
We chose BasicOps over the listed alternatives because it wasn't overly complicated to use, and it offered precisely what was needed without the extra fanfare. Some of the other software, like Taskade, just had way too much going on - for instance, way too many options for templates. It detracted our focus and ended up wasting valuable time.
Reasons for switching to BasicOps
We made the switch because BasicOps had additional features that we found very useful that ConectHub did not. The discussion board within the task itself was more streamlined, allowing for searching, file upload to the discussion, direct person conversations with the @soandso within a task discussion, and task assignment within the discussion pertaining to that specific task. These are just some of the added feature differences that we found extremely useful.
