Basecamp

The ability to communicate, collaborate, and see where we are on different products and teams in one tool is great. Everyone at our company can check in with projects and teams if they want.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to communicate and collaborate with everyone.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's not really a problem, but the way we collaborate with outside clients/freelancers who need access to different projects or teams is different than how Basecamp handles it. So we do it differently than Basecamp. Not really a dislike about Basecamp, but the flexibility to change certain aspects of the tool is limited.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a great tool to keep teams aware of what's going on. It's much better than Slack for keeping track of communications on specific tasks or projects. If you're using Slack for team communication, give Basecamp a try. It changed the way our company communicates and collaborates.

What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?

In our organisation, there are multiple clients. We have created project on for each client on basecamp. All the employees who are a part of that project are added in that particular basecamp project. By using basecamp, team members are able to track activites of each and every member. This has helped in smooth project functioning. We are able to upload project files which are accessed by team members.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best thing i like about basecamp is the activity panel. The activity panel shows activities performed by the project members under every project. It shows a timeline of activites from old to latest along with date, time, username, message, file name and attachments. It helps me to understand project flow and what work has been completed and what is remaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?

I couldn't find anything that set Basecamp apart from its competitors. This is why we switched to another product at my company.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that's it was fairly simple to use for small and inexperienced teams. The layout makes it simple to use because everything you need is on the main page. It is lacking some major features I would like to see in future updates if I were to use it again.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There were way too many notifications being sent out by default that took me some time to figure out how to turn off. The pricing options are a bit all over the place and confusing. They need to add more advanced reporting and time tracking capabilities.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Explore other project management tools before making a firm commitment to Basecamp. I believe there are better tools out there.
