Basecamp can be used to create plans on any scale
Date: Apr 26 2021SummaryBasecamp keeps all the information coming in and out of the platform organized, and it is easy to know which of the group members has provided certain information, in case corrections need to be made to some parts of that information. Although the software does not implement video calls, it is possible to communicate through a convenient chat tool.
PositiveWork planning documents can be easily shared through Basecamp's dashboard system, and in general all content within these dashboards can be freely segmented or split, demonstrating a platform with a high level of interactivity.
NegativeWhen wishing to hold any type of meeting within Basecamp, we have found that Basecamp greatly limits the direct communication capacity that can be exercised within the platform, so it has been best to adapt to work through the boards, without immediate interactions between employees.

Easy to use and simple
Date: Apr 13 2021SummaryWhen I worked at an agency, we used this tool to manage ongoing marketing projects with customers. We built campaigns in the tool — including copy, design, templates, and additional technical things for our customers' surveys. Pretty user friendly, easy to learn, and very intuitive. I can't say I was missing something major while using it and would recommend to small-ish companies.
PositiveThis is a tool that doesn't require any education and background — just sign up and start using. Very intuitive and easy to use. Very convenient document previews and user management. Easy to pay and expand your plan. Nice, but not perfect mobile app for iOS and Android.
NegativeVery limited in features (it is a very beginners version of PM tool), To-do's are not connected to topics, can't tag or categorize topics, can assign a task to more than one user, can't mention people in posts.

Fully customizable UI to suit the user.
Date: Mar 11 2021SummaryBasecamp is a great platform, its ability to bring together all the projects of a company (regardless of the project area) is impressive. I am very satisfied with the guarantee of work that Basecamp has provided me, we have been able to complete the projects in less time and we have optimized the administration of the projects as a group. We currently use Basecamp in all areas of our company, and we plan to continue using it, as it allows projects to be more effective and takes less time to process each one of them. In addition, the Basecamp UI is fantastic, it has a fairly optimized UI, with a design that can be modified by the user himself for the convenience of the same.
PositiveAt our company, we create and manage quite a few projects on a monthly basis. The projects we develop cover the human resources area, the financial area, the advertising area and many other things. Basecamp has been an effective platform because it has kept all the projects in the same place, all the projects that we elaborate in our company (regardless of the area) are generally displayed in the same panel, and we can know which project our clients are working on. colleagues in the company. One of the things I like the most about this great platform is that I have the ability to visualize the progress of each project in real time, and I can know what progress they have had and the time they have taken to have that progress, in addition, Basecamp It allows me to have a wide communication with all the people who are supporting me in the project that I am carrying out. This communication with my project collaborators has allowed me to have more success in projects and to be able to complete them more quickly than before.
NegativeOne of the negative features that need to be mentioned about Basecamp is that it is quite expensive software. I consider that it is very full of good functionalities that allow the user to manage their project online, without having to download any type of additional software to their computer, however, there are other platforms that offer the same services for a much more accessible price . We have chosen Basecamp for the fact that it allows us wide communication and extensive visualization of all the projects that are being done in our company, however, we hope to obtain better prices, much more accessible and that allow us to obtain a better ROI.

Basecamp organizes everything in one place
Date: Mar 19 2021SummaryThe Basecamp platform is a tool where you have everything you need to manage a work team. Chat, message board, task lists with responsibilities, calendar and files, all in one place. Basecamp managed the time and productivity of the company, increasing transparency and communication with clients and consultants because it allows us to take advantage of each of its functions, we can see exactly what needs to be done and at what time, it is really very efficient.
PositiveIt is easy to use and allows to know at all times the status of the tasks of our projects, as well as the people in charge at the time of developing them, has the facility and tools to manage projects and teams keeping everything perfectly organized within a Kanban board creating different groups, facilitates the management of the agendas of the members within the same project or team.
NegativeIt is not a very intuitive platform, you have to be very clear about all the processes necessary for the project to perform properly, we have to spend too much time at the beginning, but once understood it is very easy to manage, The poor hierarchy of information makes that when you are in many projects, it is relatively easy to fall into a sense of disorder.

Basecamp has the best solution for equipment communication
Date: Mar 21 2021SummaryThis software helped us to maintain an excellent communication with all the departments of our buffet, being able to have a concrete development in the management of the project to carry out each objective set. We obtained the best results without any setback thanks to this tool. Basecamp's technical support is one of the best that can be found on the market right now. There is no need to resort to an expert team to be able to manipulate this software, we also have a step by step guide to develop small projects and the idea is to get the most out of this software.
PositiveThe interface of this software is very easy to configure as it has a system based on the intuitive design, product and simplicity. It is not necessary to hire an extremely high version to be able to handle this program since it has allowed us to manipulate it with basic knowledge. We can manage through it all the users that we want and also we can include all the clients that we want to carry out each project to develop with each one of them.
NegativeIn spite of having a quite simple design to manipulate it does not allow us to personalize it to our taste, that is a great disadvantage since in occasions we must configure the design based on what our company offers to the clients. Sometimes you can not keep the thread of conversation between client and consultant, we can not make separate comments section. It can be very basic for the development of some projects.

Basecamp allows us to improve the efficiency of our projects.
Date: Mar 19 2021SummaryIt is effective because we can quickly determine the topic of discussion and attach documents. We have stopped using email or other messaging applications and primarily use Basecamp as our communication platform. What I realized in Basecamp is that we have improved the way teams communicate. I recommend its simplicity and ease of use without having to rely on experts to explain its use. Also, if they are very short or easy to execute projects, Basecamp is definitely the ideal choice for those situations.
PositiveWith just one click, you can separate the roles of each team member and their responsibilities for the project. Its workflow method for managing multiple projects running simultaneously is seamless. We use Basecamp to easily track team members' project progress and maintain quick communication with colleagues.
NegativeSome integrations are not closely related, my integration with Google Calendar is relatively unstable and some of my calendar events do not export correctly to Basecamp Calendar. The functional tool names are very interesting, they use the term "campfire" to refer to a message board where people gather to discuss.

An Easy-To-Understand Platform for Staying Organized!
Date: Jan 12 2021SummaryOverall, I really enjoyed using Basecamp and felt it was essential for our agency to effectively manage multiple client projects and hit important deadlines. It's one of the most user-friendly project management systems I've worked with.
PositiveI enjoyed how simple and easy-to-understand Basecamp was. It helped our agency with organizing client work, deadlines and collaboration between coworkers. The layout is super straightforward, not clunky, and even visually appealing. I recommend Basecamp for any small to medium-sized company looking for a straightforward way to manage their projects.
NegativeBasecamp is a perfect platform for businesses starting out on their project management journey, but it can become too simple for larger agencies managing complex projects. The inability to link projects together, see data on the workloads and capacity of your team members, and note accurate time estimates, can hinder some companies' workflows.

Basecamp, organize your time and projects
Date: Aug 17 2021SummaryWith the Basecamp software we organize our work in the company, in this way we can make a long follow-up of the projects that are being executed, and keep up to date with the progress in the investigations, all in an automated way which gives us more time.
PositiveBasecamp has the ability to integrate with many third-party applications that further promote its use. It has very extensive customization options that allow us to modify the interface to our liking, in order to be more ergonomic and adjusted to each user.

Strong task monitoring tool for all needs
Date: Jan 10 2021SummaryBasecamp is a solid task management tool. I would like them to make some extra updates, as well as include some attributes to help reduce many of the problems I am having as a project manager. However, in general, the software application is really efficient for our group for marketing organization. Basecamp helps us keep an eye on the progress of the project and we can also have discussions about various tasks to ensure that we are communicating throughout the task, as well as requesting any type of consultation that concerns the work.
PositiveI think it means that tasks are organized by project, just as you can appoint an employee to be responsible for that work, as well as a deadline for completion. Overall, the system layout helps our group.
NegativeI don't like you not being able to see what tasks you have actually assigned that affect other people in a simplified view, this would be a truly useful tool from the point of view of a project supervisor.

Creation and administration of all projects in real time.
Date: Mar 09 2021SummaryThe projects in Basecamp take a totally different course, since this is a platform that provides a real-time visualization of the progress of each project, and makes its organization more effective. We are very happy with the wide use we have had with Basecamp, we have been able to design projects in a group, compared to other platforms that do not allow the development of projects in a group way. Basecamp is very easy to use, its UI design is complete and organized and in the main panel I can view all the projects that are being carried out in the various areas of my company.
PositiveBasecamp has been a very important platform for the development of the work projects we have in mind and also to be able to manage them in the short and long term. This platform has been totally effective for the organization of all types of projects, Basecamp has an extensive support system which allows several colleagues to edit and complement a project, which allows projects to be completed faster thanks to the group participation. What I like the most about this platform is that you can view in real time the progress of each project, each of its details, each of the recent changes in the project activity and you can also see who has made the changes. recent changes. Also, I love the way that I can communicate with my team while making modifications to projects, as that communication has allowed me to share ideas with colleagues who are helping to complete it. Lastly, I love being able to access this great platform from my cell phone, as the mobile phone app gives me quick and complete access to all the projects that are in progress and also the projects that are finished.
NegativeThis platform has been completely effective, I have never presented any type of problem during the use of Basecamp, since we have always been able to have a wide participation and support in the constant creation of projects in our labor sector. I hope to continue maintaining this great effectiveness, without any type of errors, since thanks to this great effectiveness we have been able to obtain wide benefits for the projects developed in our company.

Positive* Easy to use/learn interface
* Ability to tag users
* Nice admin portal
* Nice price that isn't based on user countNegative* Confusing to have pings(messages) and chat boards in the tool and couldn't toggle them off. We use different tools for some of those things and it added confusion to our team.
