Basecamp Reseñas y detalles del producto

not much. Using Basecamp did not enhance my project management abilities enough to warrant an astounding review of the product. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. Just another platform to have to learn and navigate.

most things. It wasn't super user friendly. It didn't have anything new or exciting. No new functions or tools that can't be found in every project management platform out there.

project management

I do not enjoy using Basecamp. The unified interface is really difficult to navigate and understand. The layout is not user friendly.

I do not like how difficult it is to navigate through. The idea is nice but I would rather use Microsoft Teams.

I am collaborating with various employees. The benefits is the tool it a great idea and one spot to store a lot of information.

I used to love it back in the day, before circular avatars and overly softened design. It was simple. It made sense. Now there's really nothing I like about it.

Almost everything. When Basecamp re-designed several years ago, their focus was on making the interface too much like a social network. Every user has a circular avatar. Emphasis seemed to be put on discussion and posts and less and less on productivity.

I was using it to manage projects. I couldn't take advantage of any benefits because it wasn't productive anymore.

multiple files may be shared with the team

hard to use, doesn't send automatic email when edits are made to shared doc

None, it is easier to use googledrive

It is a project management software that is maybe better than nothing.

"Warning" Basecamp give all rights to the person who sets it up. If the business owner is not named the "Owner of the Account", they are at the mercy of the IT guy. Without a court order, BC will pander to the employee/subcontractor over the business owner. I wasn't that happy with BC to begin with, but it is project management software that the IT guy suggested and now, maybe I know why, with this type of misguided policy. BC is very much designed to create and promote ransomware type situations. No telling what else is in their fine print, if they are purposely designed to be this blatantly biased for the employee and against the owner. You would think common (not so common anymore) sense would dictate the one who pays, is the rightful owner. Business owners, switch while you can. IT people - New revenue stream, set up business on BC for free, then hold them hostage until they pay.

When used, like any project management software, it helps keep everyone in the loop. However, if it is not intuitive and uploaded info easy to retrieve, then employees will avoid it as it seems to add more to their efforts with few benefits. Hard to get employees to use it properly. Too many redundant clicks to load a new project.

The dashboard lookes nice ans organizing information was easy. The chat was also great to have.

The client access was nothing but glorified emails. Baseball 2 was much better with allowing client to have access to projects.

Organizing internal communication and Tasks around certain projects were great.

Ability to access files and summaries of projects from any location.

Did not seem very organized, quite possible it was due to the person who set it up for the organization I was working for but not sure.

Ability to access files and summaries of projects from any location.

Ease of sign in - Basecamp is easy to sign in and get started on using. It was easy to set up teams and access across different companies/collaborators.

Basecamp was bulky to use. Our team quickly switched over to Slack because Basecamp seemed a little too "formal".

Team communication, keeping all conversations related to one topic consolidated to one place instead of following individual email chains

Honestly, I guess the best thing about it is that it allows a communication blast of a recap of what happened the last week or whatever reporting period on which it works.

I don't feel like it really solves a problem that dropbox and email don't solve...

No business problems, but no real benefits realized. Perhaps it's just ill-suited to our application.

Basecamp is nice when you have clients that cannot get access to your internal systems such as Sharepoint or Confluence.

I feel it is very disorganized and not simple to find anything.

Sharing documents with internal and external business partners

It's a platform to publish a website. I like that it is easy to use, and anyone can use the back-face of the website with little training.

Basecamp isn't the greatest format. It is almost too simple and doesn't have many adjustments available that I have seen. It's also very gimmickey for me to use with other people. When something is gone, it's gone.

We are using it for website function. It makes a website.

Nothing! It was confusing me all the time, and it was really bad expirience to use it

Basically everything, GUI usage, too much details which render app unusable and you easily miss important things

I used it for software development as quality engineer. Helped to communicate with team members

The Basecamp interface was fun and engaging.

Basecamp was a bit disorganized - while a lot of people could post, the information shred was not well organized.

Basecamp was used for a software implementation. While the implementation was successful, Basecamp did not help as much as it should have (based on its functionality).

Keeps conversations in one consolidated place.

Difficult to follow conversations and clients find it confusing to use.

Consolidating conversations and files, which is nice to keep in one location.

file upload process is easy for a project

I don't like the conversation trails on each project

communication between designers, etc.

I enjoyed the fact that we could keep all of our information in one place

it was cumbersome and awkward. It was easier to use a facebook group to keep everyone on the same page, and share docs (or google drive)

trying to keep everyone involved up to date with the same docs and information

What do I like about it? Well, I suppose it is better than NO collaboration tool, but only barely. Post-it notes and carrier pigeons would likely work better.

My hatred for Basecamp burns with the fury of a thousand suns. Okay, that's an exaggeration. The fury of a hundred suns. Of all the collaboration or project management tools I have ever used, Basecamp was the worst. In fairness, it's been at least a year and a half since I used it, so it is possible that they have replaced their entire dev team and put out a decent product, but otherwise I expect more of the same. The search function is poor. The email updates sent automatically by the system are difficult to manage. The interface is kludgy. Little flexibility. The calendaring is sub-par. Unrefined feature set. I can't think of anything I liked about it. I'm baffled by all the positive reviews on G2crowd for it. I could go on with the complaints...

Project management and collaboration.
