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.

"Organised, Clear, and Reliable"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

The user experience of basecamp is very nice. The layout of boxes, thin lines, nice colours, and clear images helps to understand the website in a better way. All of the functions such as drag and drop, easy downloading, replacing, and link grabbing is done very well.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I dislike the campfire function when uploading photographs to share with the team. The images get quite large - out of portion, and seem to upload just wrong. It works fine, but the quality of sharing images- sometimes important- on campfire is better to do without.

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

All document storage and finding problems are solved with basecamp. My team can find all versions of the documents at hand in one place - we can see what date they were uploaded, replaced by who, what changes were made on all types of documents (pages, word, google docs, pdf, text-editors). I have realised many fewer documents slip through the cracks, and document versions. This has helped to work better with our team who often has members all over the world. Each person on our team is on the same page when it comes do documents.

"A Great Organizing and Communication Tool for a Team"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

There are several things that I like about Basecamp, one of which was how easy it is to use. From logging in to navigating the menu, a child could figure out how to use this site. I also love Basecamp because it is a great site for everyone to communicate in one place without having to worry about texting or emailing. In short, it made planning and working much easier and less confusing.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

There isn't anything that comes to mind at the moment that I find wrong with Basecamp.

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

I was first introduced to Basecamp when I started my work-study job at school, which had a team of 5+ members every semester. The problem that Basecamp solved was the ability to coordinate and communicate with everyone no matter how many different schedules we had to work with. This gave everyone the opportunity to be on the same page and no one really had the excuse of not knowing what was going on unless they decided to throw their computers into the lake. Thankfully no one lost their computers due to their unwillingness to stay updated, so Basecamp helped us tremendously.

"Basecamp is the great software for collaboration and work management. "
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is an innovative online collaboration tool for project and tasks management. This software is great for managing and controlling many types of projects and tasks. It has the great ability to manage a project or the planning of activities for the execution of a tasks in a collaborative way. Hence, it is an excellent option for project management.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The disadvantage of this software is that the price of Basecamp software is a bit high as compared to its competitors. It is not very customisable software as you use boards for all projects. Sometimes it is very difficult to handle for the new users. We cannot easily send all of our data and documents from this software. It does not work smoothly if other formats are imported in the project.

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

We can easily customise this tool according to our needs. It allow me to efficiently manage my tasks and projects in a quite responsive way. Basecamp produces more development in our project and provide extra efficiency in our work. I would recommend this software for everyone.

"Best Management Software EVER!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I love the organization and how easy it is to use. ANYONE can use Basecamp and be successful. I am a marketing director and it has transformed the way I can work, be efficient, and stay organized

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Sometimes the chat portals like "office chatter" can get a little overwhelming if we've got too many employees chiming in. Also, employees can sometimes be a little bold with their opinions on Basecamp opposed to talking about something with a manager face to face.

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

My event and promotion prep! The organized project templates make it so easy for me to implement new promotions and events. It keeps the consistency and accountability.

We can easily complete my projects in a more quickly way.This software help us to manage our tasks and projects and it is difficult for the new users. This is a great tool to manage projects with the collaborators.

This software provide the limited space to store the large number of projects and different tasks. It have low capacity to store our multiple numbers of projects. The storage space is so limited which makes the new users so difficult to manage and handle the different projects and tasks. But still, it has the great tracker for our business because all of its features and functions are very outstanding and easy to use.

"Basecamp is the amazing software for project management. "
What do you like best about Basecamp?

This software make it possible to track to several projects for many other people. It's easy to attach the images, write the comments and sent for the team members. I have been dealing with the costumer confronted size of a medium sized computerized advertising organization. It is so well integrated software. Basecamp is classified as a project management platform but I see more of the other software. It is not an expensive software and everyone can easily afford this software. It is easy to learn to use and navigate the platform.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

This software is not technical, because it is very user friendly software. The only problem that we face is that all of its features are very difficult but it helps for understand to easily use this software. The Workflow is not to build around any specific industry so it may not be a very perfect for specialized companies but it can be used by anyone and it can be adopted easily because of its more features. Its all features are very nice but sometime it create very difficulties to our system. But to conclude that this is best for management and also provide the best security of our system.

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

I used this software because it is very reliable and also easy to use. I always use this software because it is very easiest software and it provide the best service of our costumers and our business. I always recommended to everyone to use this software because it is easily available in market's and most of the people like to use this software.

"Manage marketing lists, tasks and relevant data entry"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is incredibly easy to use, so simple and straightforward that it eliminates all distractions from its interface and allows users to focus on their work. If you want to incorporate other team members into the project, just send messages to the collaborators requesting their integration. Another thing is that nothing is lost or wasted in Basecamp, as it stores all conversations and shared files. In addition, it has an exceptional ability to integrate with other tools, which makes it a centerpiece for project management.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I only have a couple of disadvantages with Basecamp, and there is no option to assign projects to a team, but the project must be assigned to each member individually, which takes too much time when the team is made up of many members. The other thing is that it does not have an option to preselect users and receive notifications.

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

Basecamp is the platform we use to manage marketing lists, tasks and relevant data entry. In general, we use it to keep track of projects we're working on. We love the simple way to worj with Basecamp, because you only need to mark one task as completed and continue with the next one. Since its implementation, it has generated positive results in relation to our productivity.

"Project Management Made Easy"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I love the way that Basecamp organizes teams and projects. The way they layout teams and projects as cards make it so easy to scroll down and find the team/project I need. I love how each project is broken out to have its own instant message, docs and files, message board, and so much more. The platform is very intuitive and from a project management standpoint, I have everything I need to make sure tasks are organized and deliverables are on time and done well.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

It's hard to find something wrong with Basecamp. If you are using the platform for project management then I think it is absolutely perfect. However, there is one change that I would make. At the moment, within a task, you can assign it to multiple people and then assign who needs to be notified once the task is marked as complete. It would be cool if you could assign the task to a point person and then assign sub-tasks or assign additional people. The point person would have the final say and be responsible for marking the task as complete.

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

Disorganized and poorly communicated tasks, responsibilities, information, etc. Our company uses Basecamp to organize all the deliverables for our clients.

"Project Management Tool at it's best!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

This software is very easy to use and is not complicated at all. Everything is nicely arranged and it is all you need. One stop for all your task assignments, due date etc. Notifications are also very helpful and effective.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Too many email notifications. There should be an option to customize notifications as well so that we only get to see the notifications which we are looking for. Too many basecamp email notifications fill up the inbox and is something which I don't like.
