Great collaboration and communication tool

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?

The ability to communicate, collaborate, and see where we are on different products and teams in one tool is great. Everyone at our company can check in with projects and teams if they want.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Being able to communicate and collaborate with everyone.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's not really a problem, but the way we collaborate with outside clients/freelancers who need access to different projects or teams is different than how Basecamp handles it. So we do it differently than Basecamp. Not really a dislike about Basecamp, but the flexibility to change certain aspects of the tool is limited.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a great tool to keep teams aware of what's going on. It's much better than Slack for keeping track of communications on specific tasks or projects. If you're using Slack for team communication, give Basecamp a try. It changed the way our company communicates and collaborates.

Better Project Management Tools Out There

Likeliness to Recommend

5 /10

What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?

I couldn't find anything that set Basecamp apart from its competitors. This is why we switched to another product at my company.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that's it was fairly simple to use for small and inexperienced teams. The layout makes it simple to use because everything you need is on the main page. It is lacking some major features I would like to see in future updates if I were to use it again.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There were way too many notifications being sent out by default that took me some time to figure out how to turn off. The pricing options are a bit all over the place and confusing. They need to add more advanced reporting and time tracking capabilities.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Explore other project management tools before making a firm commitment to Basecamp. I believe there are better tools out there.
