Basecamp Reviews & Product Details

Basecamp Overview
What is Basecamp?

Basecamp has evolved as a project management platform since its launch in 2004 but its mission to help remote teams stay organized, productive, and efficient remains. One new feature that Basecamp recently added is called Basecamp Hill – a visual representation that divides the component of a project into a phase of uncertainty, unknowns, and problem-solving (uphill) and a phase of certainty, confidence, and execution (downhill). This is on top of Basecamp’s core features which include a Message Board, To-dos, Calendar, Documents and Files, Group Chat, and Automated Check-ins. It’s a top-down and bottom-up platform for everyone in a business or organization – from proprietors and C-level executives to project managers and individual team members.

"Can't Recommend This Product Enough"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

1- Basecamp has a 100% free version! 2- Normal, everyday people can easily use it. 3- It will guide you through every step of every aspect of using it! It allows you to intergrate other applications into it.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

There is not a template "bank" to use. But it will guide you through creating whatever you need. Or it will show you how to integrate another app so you can use their templates.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me organize my very hectic life. It is like having a personal assistant I can pull up at any time and see what I need to do. It is a project management app for a newbie.

"Basecamp dominates for project management"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

The repetition of tasks or projects is a useful feature when you have a list of frequent tasks. It is simple to have the same procedure every time you want to run the task list. It is simple to add people outside the program and give them access to the same version of the program to collaborate on it. I like the look of a calendar. At the point when you are trying to set completion dates for tasks, observing the calendar layout can really help you understand your point of view for the date, the week and quickly rinse out any completed tasks that need to be moved or dealt with.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

You possibly can adhere to Basecamp's ICal to exhibit Basecamp's program on your own calendar's calendar, this is helpful, however, it is very limited. I do not notice any features of it other than the name. There is no description or information about the job list or project the job is associated with. Combining it with different tools would be good. I would like to be able to view my own or my company's Outlook calendar on the same calendar, however, this is not currently possible. I use Basecamp V2 because the newer V3 lacks certain features of V2. It was apparently created with the goal of doing a slightly different job. Unfortunately, V2 does not receive feature updates as frequently as V3.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Basecamp within the marketing department. It can easily be used within the company, however, only the marketing department uses it at this time. It is used for the purpose of managing all projects and tasks within the marketing department. I don't particularly like logging in on my days off or even seeing the summary journal emails. On the contrary, the way we use it is this: in the event that I am assigned a task or a new project, it brings me together with the team and asks my project manager to take notes on the thing that needs to be done.

"Efficient and reliable!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp has provisions allowing clients to see content like a message board post. Collaborating with my teammates and colleagues is much easier and more convenient.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

It lacks a powerful templating system that is usually useful for team projects and presentations in our company. It has a minimum rooms for editing of our shared documents.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps our project to run successfully and to have a dependable communication structure in our team; we can quickly check data and updates using Basecamp. It makes our communication more efficient and more accessible even when working from home.

"Basecamp Review"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Project management is a lot more effective now that I use Basecamp for business. The entire team is kept up to date on given tasks, due dates, and relevant developments in real time. Additionally, Basecamp provides a number of file organisation and sharing capabilities, which greatly facilitates teamwork.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The inability to add subtasks to the primary task is one of Basecamp's shortcomings in my opinion. When planning more complicated jobs, this can be a little difficult. The platform can occasionally be a little slow when loading a lot of files, but overall there wasn't much of an issue.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

My team has found Basecamp to be a really effective tool for problem-solving. For instance, with the aid of Basecamp's communication and task management capabilities, we were able to spot design flaws in early-stage items right away and make the necessary corrections. Additionally, the feedback function allowed me to rapidly address any queries or problems that cropped up as the project was being developed.

There isn't anything I dislike about Basecamp. I think it is heading in the right direction, and I believe as the years go by it will become even better than it is today.

"Exceellent all-in-one PM software."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is extremely user-friendly. It has all the features you will need to complete any project management task. It also has a chat feature built-in, so you do not have to use an external program such as slack.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I wish they would not have so many features that are only available on premium subscriptions. The features that you are really going to want to use are premium features.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially, I used it while taking a PM class and decided to continue because of the chat features. It is the most user-friendly one out of all the PM software.

"Excellent project management tool"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is an excellent project management tool that makes it easy to see where a project is and to keep everyone on the same page. It gets frequent updates that enhance the user experience.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

While Basecamp is very good, it does have a slight learning curve and getting people onboarded with it can be tough. The chat, while nice, is something we don't use due to some functionality missing.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, Basecamp rolls multiple apps into one and keeps everything in one place. Not having to switch between multiple apps is a very big perk. It also helps keep everyone in the loop about what is going on with a project.

"Obsessed with BaseCamp!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

BaseCamp is the perfect solution for my project management needs. I can easily work with colleagues and agencies, seamlessly. It's easy to focus, create and manage projects, update the status of a project and set clear expectations for delivery. This is, by far, the best and most affordable project management software out there. Their desktop app works great and doesn't bog down my system.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The only change I would like to see is being able to open multiple projects at once. Sometimes I need to reference information in another project and have to open a browser window in addition to my desktop app.

What problems is Basecamp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to easily collaborate with employees and agencies in one place with a clear timeline for completing projects and upcoming projects.
