Basecamp Reviews: 4.1/5 — Solid Choice

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.

"Great for collaborating"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

How helpful it is on collaborative projects. When someone assigns a project to me, I don't have to search through emails for communication about it. I can work on my portion of the project and then notify other team members of my progress. It's super helpful to have all aspects of a project accessible in one spot.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I don't dislike anything about Basecamp, it's very useful

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

The need for a space to coordinate and communicate without going back and forth over email. Ease of use for project management.

"Basecamp transformed our company!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Its simplicity & functionality - helps us stay agile & effective internally.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

A minor inconvenience would be that while you can set deadlines on projects for a certain date, you can't go a bit more granular and set deadline at a specific time in the day

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

Basecamp literally solved our productivity issues - we're at least 3X more effective after Basecamp vs before.

"Based On This..."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp has made team communication so easy. Not only can you send a quick message among team members but I love that you can set up groups and tasks that are assigned to some or all of your team where you get alerts as each person adds a comment. I also love the ability to assign tasks and get an alert when someone has completed their task.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I would like the ability to have an audible alert on my computer... I could not figure that out. There can be a lag to alerts coming through in general.

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

The team is world-based, so it allows us to communicate in real-time where ever we are. It is beneficial to be able to set up tasks that will be seen as soon as that person in a different timezone check in.

"Basecamp is THE solution for team projects!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Utilizing multiple teams and multiple projects with great communication and doc sharing.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Redundancy in some of the group communication tools. There is a bit of overlap in the Campfire and Message board. Can be confusing for some people.

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

We have multiple teams that overlap on various projects. We have utilized Basecamp to replace Slack amd other tools. It has streamlined our communication and accountability for task completion.

"Practical app for managing projects"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

The interface is the best thing about the Basecamp. I have tried and used other project management tools. But all of them feel heavily crowded, and I don't feel like the claustrophobic looks. This is where the Basecamp is purely a genius. The while and the clean design of basecamp without compromising any functionality is one of the best things we can get on any application. Next thing I like the best about the Basecamp is assigning the tasks and changing the due date with the notification. There is an option to change the notification by anyone in the team who it is assigned to, but there is a notification and the history of the changes in the due date. This is one thing which is important for a project management tool. Also, attaching files with any extension is kind of breeze. Especially for videos which we usually need to host somewhere else, here in basecamp, it automatically converts like an embedded one which we can directly play. Editing is also easier. Also with multiple due date coming for different projects, we can quickly mark them as done.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The main thing I would like to see in the Basecamp is the table-like view like in other project management tools. With that option, we can quickly see which is due on which date, and everything will be a bit easier than now. Apart fromye that, I feel like Basecamp is a complete software. And yes, having more integrations will also be easier. I haven't seen many options for that in the basecamp.

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

With the implementation of Basecamp, we were able to quickly assign the projects. The main benefits is that as we are the company with multiple products, we were able to quickly categorize them without any confusing steps. We have tried multiple project management tools for trial and error so that we can find the perfect one and I feels like Basecamp is more like a complete package for the project management functionality.

What do you like best about Basecamp?

What is most helpful about Basecamp is that it is a cloud-based platform. The upsides of using Basecamp are that it is mobile and cross-platform compatible.

What I find least helpful about Basecamp is its lack of flexibility to customize each project. The downsides of using Basecamp are that tagging tasks could be better implemented and its inability to support more complex view types.

"Basecamp allow us to manage our daily life and increase productivity in our team members"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

It supports you in staying notified so that you are aware when a job has been revised or finished. In order to get a more sorted work environment, we needed a platform that allowed us to end up creating our own area filled with good management and maintain many objects in one place, such as conversations, documents, and messages, Basecamp Helped us. Using Basecamp as a basic centers makes our life far more productive, it is capable of managing anything and have better control over what we do as the best choice. The fact that it is a compact application (it can be used from any device without any difficulties)

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

It appeared that Basecamp had a few modification choices, such as templates or limitation restrictions on members of the team or platform variables per program. Still, more often than not, part, it's a wonderful tool.

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

Basecamp enabled us to collaborate on a task to complete it. It enabled every one of our groups, from development to customer relations to financing to marketing, to interact about a project in a centralized location, ensuring that nothing was ignored.

"The perfect tool to organize projects and communicating with co-workers and clients"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp works as a center table for all of the projects. Basecamp helps to organize all projects in a way that a specific project can only be accessed by the users who are assigned to that project. It makes sure no one accesses the product who is not authorized. Basecamp is overall a vital component in our company's progress and growth. Learning basecamp is pretty straightforward and does not need much time in learning.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The searching option is ill configured, it takes time to search, and the results are not very helpful. Some features are missing, such as attributing the priority level of a task; if we can label a task as low, medium, and high, it would help us execute specific tasks faster.

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

We have been using it as a project management tool where all assigned employees need to communicate and execute tasks. We create client-specific projects and involve only employees who need to be involved so no one from the company can access the project without adding them in the project. For every project, there is a joint project where the client can directly communicate to the employees and track work status.
