Basecamp Reviews: 4.1/5 — Solid Choice
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.

Compare Basecamp with other popular tools in the same category.
Ease of use. Ability to store docs and files centrally.
Formatting is glitchy. Linking documents from Docs and Files to a project page can sometimes be time consuming.
Management of projects between multiple users is made simpler by storing data on Basecamp. It provides transparency to users and centralizes documents and information on topics.
I have used a lot of PM programs and find basecamp to be the one that is most intutive, frictionless, and has the most features that I want as a PM
There are always things missing from PM softwares. I've yet to find one that functions exactly the way I like to work. Issues I have are mostly to do with my personal work style and workflow.
I love that you can use Basecamp internally as well as to invite clients
The ability to connect and maintain contact with every individual that needs to be a part of a campfire is crucial to the success of our business. For any inquiries or requests, it makes it simple to accomplish everything.
I don't have any complaints at the moment. There has been a recent update to allow for separate lists to be created and allocate specific tasks that need to be done, making them itemized by importance.
We have solved quick and seamless communication between out entire team and our clients.
The best part of basecamp is unlike discord or slack, we instead to create groups we can create ping and most liked part is It's all functionality like You can create a different project in that and you can upload a related document for your project one more best feature is autometic checkins like you will be update with your team like what they did in the complete day so for this update you can start new question for everyday of any developer
Most dislike thing is you can reply to a particular message, and you can't speak messages like discord but this is not a compulsory feature, and many times mobile app of basecamp not work like you will not get any notification if someone not ping you
When I start to sing basecamp, I solve developer daily update problem like previously every day I need to remember them like you need to update you a project manager and if the client send any document related to any project, then we can easily update so only the developer can see which are working on respected project
Basecamp is a perfect client and project management tool. Basecamp is very easy to set up and get going. We need to invite our team members in with each of their email addresses and it handled the rest. We use it primarily as a message board and chat system on our team. The calendar and file sharing features are very useful for managing client projects.
The different versions of Basecamp have different features.
Basecamp is a project management solution that allows us to stay on top of team's projects with ease. The communications solutions, file management services are all excellent. Basecamp easy to use and user-friendly tool.
So helpful to house everything in one place, and communicate with team members as well as keep track of tasks and due dates
Downsides is a potentially slower response time from individuals
Solved how to discuss issues without flooding emails or having needless meetings
The ease of use of how to follow and track project progress and interaction with a remote team
If you have notifications switched on your inbox can be clogged up with notifications about project updates
With Working from home a big part of every day life, it has been imperative to find a product that can allow our team to track project progress
I like how it's a hub where we can have documents, notifications and communicate all on the same platform.
Multiple tabs and not having a go back to previous button.
We are utilizing Basecamp to help schedule our worship and church teams.
As the title, simplicity is what i like best. Believe me, i try too many PM Softwares, and what you need to realize is that you don´t have time to manage, so the simple the tool, the best outcome you will get. Basecamp offer this point of view.
Having just the right tools to work, sometime is not enought. I miss a couple of features i use in other tools like Kanban and Gantt Charts to see the BIG picture. If basecamp add them, would be just perfect.
Everything is a Project. With basecamp i have clients that love their version and they don´t mess with our internal people. This way, is a win win strategy and we can focus on the project keeping the client informed at all times. This is the best benefit i realize working with Basecamp so far.
It's super easy to use and everyone really enjoyed using it.
It's hard to access sometimes unless you have the link saved.
I don't really have any problems with it per say
