Basecamp is more than just a project management tool — it’s a better way to work. Teams that switch to Basecamp are more productive and better organized. They communicate better and require fewer meetings. And they’re far more efficient than before. Here’s how Basecamp makes it happen.

In Basecamp, each project lives on a single page. With everything in reach, and every piece of information tracked and organized, everyone knows where to find what they need, and say what they need to say.

Besides unlimited projects, you’ll get pings for private conversations, reports to summarize the essentials, notification protections so you aren’t constantly distracted, a timeline showing you everything that’s happening, exceptional customer service, and plenty more to round it out.

Review Summary

If you’re searching for a project management tool, you should look at basecamp. Basecamp is my favorite solution at Versandgigant (and we’ve tried a lot). It’s user-friendly and has everything you need. If you need a con it would be the integrations. I like to use integrate to forward emails to certain cards and boards. Basecamp recently launched a new personal plan which offers a free service for freelancers and smaller private projects.

Review Summary

As the owner of DailyPest and an entrepreneur with a hand in several on-going endeavors, I can really appreciate this question. I have several years of experience (thousands of hours) working with popular content management systems and major platforms.

In my humble opinion, If you have a heavy workload to track, with multiple employees involved in the process, Basecamp is excellent alternatives to endless shuffling cards from column to column and checking boxes on other software. That said, I find Basecamp the much more attractive and easier for use.

Review Summary

Pros: Ease of Use, Flexibility to create internal threads, cost-effective, mobile-friendly, a friendly text edit - Trix available.

Cons: For large projects - the communication might become scattered, There is no flexibility to create a thread that is only accessible by a few team members and not all.

Overall Experience: Quite satisfied so far, been using it for almost a decade now. However, still open to explore new softwares if they are user-friendly.

Review Summary

I have used Basecamp for my company Pavilion Broadway and found it to be very useful for scheduling individual projects spit across multiple disciplines. The ability to set deadlines is particularly useful and creating milestones for each project to keep things on track.

Review Summary

I found Basecamp to be confusing to navigate as both a client of someone else using it, as well as when I tried using it myself briefly. I'm sure this has application for someone, but to me, there are much nicer programs available.

Review Summary

We've used many project management tools in the past trying to find the right one. We worked with Basecamp quite a bit and just continued to get frustrated. It feels very unorganized and inefficient. I would not recommend Basecamp - go for Teamwork, Asana, or Trello.

Review Summary

I enjoyed using Basecamp in my last virtual assistant assignment. There were many tasks that I had to be accountable for and this helped me see at a glance what needed to be done every day and the due date. Since we had deadlines to meet this made us less likely to drop the ball and be inefficient. I would use this again. There is a free trial available for you to try it out. It is well worth your time.

Review Summary

Pros: It provides a central system to communicate with the client, provide updates and get feedback

Cons: It's good for client management but not good for internal management of the Project. For that, we would recommend Jira.

Review Summary

This tool is characterized, fundamentally, by the simplification of working methods and by favoring a fluid flow of information among users. I think it is oriented towards SMEs. With this tool, you can manage the internal communication of a company and the organization of their respective projects such as the case of joint work with business partners. Another point against is that the platform only works online, so you can not advance in jobs when there is no connection. However, this last point has not caused us major problems. Despite the benefits, I find it quite simple, compared to other similar tools in the market.
