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.

"Collaboration and organization of your projects."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp has team collaboration tools to manage projects, through a clean and easy interface. We have been working remotely and it is totally easy to verify the processes that are being carried out in the projects.

At first you'll find tools that you won't know what they're for, but over time they'll fit your needs perfectly.

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

We have used Basecamp to assign work functions and tasks by setting due dates and establishing responsibilities. We can follow up and contribute ideas together. It has helped us stay organized and share updates on all our projects.

"Organization is Key"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I love how easy it is to organize to-dos based off of different clients and projects. Really ideal for a marketing firm.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I don't like that Basecamp doesn't automatically organize to-dos in the order they are due in the to-do boards. However, they do organize by date under "My Stuff"

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

Basecamp really solves accountability problems. In this software, you can assign to-dos for yourself and others and monitor what gets done and at what time.

"A great software to keep your work organized"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

My company has been using the software for about 2 years now, and it has helped us to work better on projects, make sure everyone involved has the opportunity to add or change things and it is a great place to keep your company operations organized.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

One thing that my team found a little hard is when trying to combine multiple parts of teams it is hard because you can have only one message board and only one chat. It also can send you a way to many notifications but you luckily can change those.

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

Basecamp allows different teams in my organization to work in specific groups that are dedicated specifically to them. It is very easily integrated with Google Drive which allows sharing documents very easy. It also helps us to keep each other accountable by creating to-do lists.

"Basecamp is one of the most essential and useful tools"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

There are several features in the basecamp, such as to-do-lists, calendaring, due dates, etc. And it is easy to use and user-friendly tool. Basecamp helps to take the correct decision by managing reliable data about different kinds of projects. Also, this can handle complex tasks and projects. Furthermore, this has excellent community support.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Has too limited integration with other platforms and services, so it is not good. And the basecamp has not the ability to track the time spent on each project.

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

Basecamp is one of the most essential and useful tools which we use for our work not only in the office but also in the home. Because it is the best real-time communication and project management tool, I have used. This allows us to communicate with the members quickly, and it is very user-friendly. So, this is very important to connect with others remotely at any time, anywhere. And this also helps to manage any projects efficiently and effectively.

"Great for Team Colabs"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

With Basecamp we are able to use the headquarters feature to communicate with all of our staff. We are able to assign job functions and task and give due dates for those tasks to be completed. We are also able to check in on each task to make sure it is completed within the time needed giving complete accountability. We can post new messages, bulletins, pictures and photos that they will all need to see in reference. We are also able to start new projects that are marketing and sales team can work on together throughout the duration of the project.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Something we do not like is the template for new projects. You’re able to create task to the templates however you cannot automatically add a person to that task. So if you have a recurring project with recurring people doing the same recurring task you have to assign that person every time to the project which can be repetitive. It would be great if this was automated

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

The problems were solving now is we do not have to use physical paper and emails to communicate for sales and marketing projects. Now we are able to use Basecamp not only to keep everyone on the same page but to keep projects and workflow going seamlessly and efficiently as possible

"Project tasking platform enabled with high end synchronized features."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is the best leading project management software which is capable of managing the tasks with better quality and keeps upgrades of every tasks. We are able to do a lot of work of projects tasks and have more productive meetings for the discussion of our projects by simply connecting to our teams through this tool. Basecamp has enabled precise projects work development to have better levels of tasks productivity.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp does not allow us to stay up-to-date with our colleagues and we can't really work on the same page for regarding projects and tasks. It may also not be suitable for online meetings for projects tasks and don’t deal with efficiency when involving multiple people in one place. Some people are also not being able to set-up the projects contact groups which makes it so difficult to keep the projects intact.

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

With Basecamp software, I am more able to continue to have face-to-face conversation on my projects tasks virtually. I can do field tasks work and make daily projects by this efficient software. From projects management group, it makes chat and meetings a lot of easier to share information on a daily basis of creating the projects.

"Basecamp helps people get more organized with their projects."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is the project management tool for multi-functional projects. It can manage our projects and easily allows us to collaborate on one channel and share the required projects documents and content with the teams in convenient ways. Hence, sharing the projects workspace is more easy because it has the ability to connect the people together. Basecamp is more advanced in the project management market because it is the work management platform for unlimited projects, tasks, team sharing management and the transparent collaboration.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

As, Basecamp is a collaborative project management tool but it has not much capable features for perfectly organized and manageable projects aligned tools which maintains the tasks in a unique tree-like structure and randomly organized documents. Furthermore it creates problems in producing the projects schedules and reportings. Moreover, Basecamp is not best designed in terms of user friendly dashboards and user interface.

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

For me, Basecamp is the most intuitive project management and collaboration tool in the market. It is a complete projects, tasks software and it’s service is best designed for organizing the thousands of data and documents in the form of projects. Basecamp provide much opportunity to create projects, collaborate and store the projects information all in one place.

"Basecamp, the best tool to manage our projects."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is more than just a working tool. With this tool we can achieve a more organized and productive work team on a daily basis and all activities, tasks and assignments. With this powerful tool we can manage, organize and administer all our daily activities, dividing each one by the person involved in the team. Additionally, we can carry out timely monitoring of the fulfillment of each of the assigned tasks, allowing us to validate compliance and the tools used. The best thing about this tool is that it includes communication tools such as chat and instant messages that allow us to keep the team communicated at all times, thus facilitating collaboration to accomplish all tasks.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The only thing I do not like about this tool is without a doubt the simplicity of its design, it does not make it look as professional as I would like, even though the tool fulfills its functions perfectly well.

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

undoubtedly the main solution that this tool has offered me is easy management and administration of all the tasks, projects and activities of the company. Basecamp has facilitated the daily organization of all activities per person, allowing the work to be divided equally, thus allowing the entire team to work in a relaxed manner and with optimal levels of workload.
