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.

"One way stop for project management for small, medium and startups companies"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

basecamp is the best tool for project collaboration and project management. it provides a good UI interface to manage the task and tickets of projects. it helps us to segregate the projects into smaller parts. it has a good feature of showing the timeline and due date for the projects and each task in the project.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp has less mathematical performance in it. it won't provide the todo, in-progress and completed in view columns like other project management tools have those functions.

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

basecamp provides easy use of task management and project management which helps naive people to understand how to perform, track and manage the tasks of the projects.

"A best tool for project management and task management."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is very useful for managing the projects and tasks in it. it helps me to define the project's timeline and helps to organize the bigger task to into smaller ones. it has a good UI easy to use program which helps the naive person to understand and organized the tasks with the timeline.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp doesn't provide the file and sheet to be in preview mode on images that can be previewed in it. other extensions of files cannot be viewed in it which is a major drawback in it.

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

it helps me to track day by day progress of the project with the timeline to the tasks and define the project in different sub-categories which helps to organize in different stages of the project.

"Seamless while managing projects and inter team comms!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

The UI is super simple and intuitive which helps teams come onto the tool and start integrating it into their workflow. Makes change management easier. Reduces requirements for meetings as live comments and chats can happen on any step of the project for any of the multiple projects

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Not really a downside persay, if I had to get knit picky then I would say that communication on chat for tasks sometimes results in the most hilarious blunders cause of the human error.

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

It helps me and my team manage separate threads for work and team chats helps keep projects straight and be on top of progress. It also helps manage tasks that are assigned to the team and eliminates the requirement for follow-ups/reminders as those are automated.

"Customize, manage and create successful projects with Basecamp."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is a great function to get work teams in tune, it helps them to always be aware of the jobs, projects and sales generated, because it allows them to follow up, see pending tasks, whether calendars, due dates and file sharing and apart from that it can be used by any organization that needs to manage a workgroup, it also has a very well developed mobile application which is fast to use and establishes itself well developed mobile application which is fast to use and establishes itself very well with any connectivity since it contains a very well built browser.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Its messaging board, which customers use to chat, has some problems because when they use it, it cashes and does not allow them to send messages quickly, which causes them to lose time and inconvenience for not being able to send their messages without problems, they should update the dashboard and add better features, apart from that I would like them to design it much better since the design is a bit boring.

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

Basecamp is a function that we use in our organization to manage our projects, because it allows us to track, analyze and manage each project carried out, this helps us to know about each generated progress and keeps us aware of each data, idea, design and customization about apart from our projects, its interface is used as an alternative to work with our clients, because its platform is very friendly, it is quick to use, it contains very detailed information about the service and its uses, and it saves us time with our clients.

"Basecamp is a great communication platform with everything I need in it."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

You can create task lists as templates and duplicate them for each project.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

There's no filtering feature in Basecamp for the activities and tasks. There's a search button, but I wish I could filter tasks/activities by their date, person who is in charge etc.

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

There are lots of things that Basecamp helps out with. First of all, it is great to be able to create to-do lists, see your assignments with due dates, check others' activities, create campfires (chat rooms) with or without clients.

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

Basecamp is an enjoyable team management solution that is more pleasing for everyday use compared to other software, based on its design. It's easy to onboard new users and gets them up-to-date with our team activities. We can plot new goals and track existing ones on the fly. All of the information is updated instantly on the internet. We get notifications to remind us of key events and communications.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

There aren't many things I dislike about Basecamp. It's worked well for the things I've used it for, which are mostly standard planning and communications. I think more complex projects may not be suitable for Basecamp, particularly creative projects with video and web design.

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

Basecamp lets me stay informed with information related to my team and my own work goals. I can update multiple people without having to contact each one directly. I can leave information that other people can use for their tasks and vice versa. I feel more locked into my work when I have Basecamp at my fingertips. There aren't all these different directions I have to go to leave and access information.

I dislike the user interface aesthetically - although it's simple, I feel like there could be more a more visually appealing interface (more contrast).

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

I am solving file management and sharing issues that are difficult through regular email services/Dropbox/etc.
