Basecamp Reviews

Summary: Basecamp has been one of the most important platforms within my real estate company, I feel comfortable using this platform since within the company we prepare many projects on a weekly and monthly basis, but I can still control the progress of each project, In addition, I was able to control the number of participants that exist within a specific project. I really liked the head I had with this platform. When I started using it, it was quite a complex process to adapt to the functions, since I didn't understand how I should use it. to create new projects, however, after a week of use, I learned how to use it and managed to integrate it with cloud storage services and data flow automation services. Currently, most of the employees in our company are using it constantly since we have assigned it as the only platform to develop projects in our company, I feel very comfortable with that platform in general, I loved the fact that I could fully customize it, In addition, I loved the fact of being able to harmonize all the budget available for each project, I also liked the fact of being able to monitor in real time the progress of each project and each activity that is being developed, this platform also allowed me to measure the time that It took each employee to complete an activity, without a doubt it is a very complete platform and I recommend it for any company to start developing a very consolidated and beneficial project system.

Positive: Basecamp is an incredible platform to design all kinds of projects, it doesn't matter if they are short-term or long-term projects, this platform notes the type of project and also allows you to add a lot of participants to carry out a specific project, one of the main things that interests me. What I liked about this platform is that it offers two views and it also offers two views of the type of project being created, it allows you to create projects in the form of columns or in the form of a board, and the main page or the main panel of the platform allows you to view the projects in column view and starts with boards, although really within this platform I like the column view better, since it divides each of the projects by the status of each project, each column reflects the projects that are in course, the projects complete the pending projects to start, this column view helps a lot to be able to visualize or monitor the amount of e projects that have been completed or the number of pending projects, unlike the dashboard view that shows projects in an overview, without breaking them down by status. Another of the features that I like about this platform is that it is fully customizable, within the platform's configuration to be able to modify its color and the general design, as well as the text font of the entire platform, in addition, there is also a section that allows you to monitor all the tasks that are running or the complete tasks of each project, without a doubt it has many sections that allows you to monitor tasks, monitor projects and also monitor the budget of each project.

Negative: One of the main problems or necessary functions within this platform is the Gantt diagram. Currently, this platform does not have statistics or the type of diagrams that help to understand the process or the progress that is being made in the projects in a much more graphic way. , I consider that this diagram is very necessary so that all users can visualize the progress in real time of each project, and can understand the phases that have been executed for each project during each day that has elapsed, I hope that this diagram is implemented in This platform as soon as possible is very necessary to correctly understand the progress of the projects. Another of the negative things about this platform is how limited that person is, since it only allows you to create some projects, in addition, there are also limits to the number of participants or employees that you can add to the project that I am developing, I do not recommend this version at all free, it is very limited and also limits the number of tasks that can be run simultaneously, I really only recommend using the paid version. In addition, it is also negative that this platform is very complex to learn to use, despite the fact that it has a very familiar interface with the user that allows the user to customize it to their liking, starting to use this platform can be a bit complex for new users, it has very difficult to use functions.

Summary: Overall if you're looking to use this for team communications, information sharing and meetings it rivals things like Microsoft Teams while feeling much more friendly.

Positive: With the new version I really like the ability to organize the team, assign tasks and see progress and the ability to keep a lot of different conversations about a project in one place with a logical organization. What's nice about Basecamp is they really thought about the different stages of a project, from brainstorming through execution and data collection, and created something that lets a team work over a distance by organizing information and making sharing easy.

Negative: There are a lot of notifications. This can replace email but you really need to get used to the settings and make it work for you or it can be overwhelming to see so many different places you can put files or conversations.

Summary: Basecamp It has been a magnificent software, despite the fact that we have obtained a fairly high rate for using these services, I consider that it has been very useful throughout my company, I consider that this software has allowed me to develop quality projects, in addition, We have been able to control all the activities that need to be carried out at a specific time. I am happy with the general results provided by this platform, I consider that the experience it has given me has made it possible for us to develop projects in the different areas of the company, it is important to highlight that this platform is not only being used in this corporate sector, but also which also has the participation of various employees from the marketing, finance, projects and also the sales agent sector. I loved the overall experience, it was quite comfortable using this platform for all this time, I have been using this platform for more than a year to manage short and long term projects and manage all kinds of budgets.

Positive: Basecamp is a very functional system that provides excellent benefits to develop all kinds of projects, with the help of this platform you will be able to have a correct organization of the number of projects that are carried out within your work environment, regardless of the location of your sector, With the help of your platform you will strengthen collaborative work, you will be able to carry out work online with the collaboration of your work team, in addition, you will be able to have an administration of all the activities that have to be carried out to develop an optimal project. One of the main things that I like about this platform is that you can change the way you visualize all the projects that are being developed, there is a board view that allows you to see in a general way each of the projects that are being developed in your company, in addition, you can also use the list view that will allow you to see separately the number of projects that exist within a specific sector, as well as you can also organize these lists by projects that have been combined and pending projects. In addition, I love the fact that I can see all the activities in real time, within each project, I will be able to see in real time if any activities that have been scheduled by Yosh have been completed, within this section you can also see all pending activities, and overdue activities. Also, I love that this platform allows me to control the budget for each of the projects, it allows me to insert each of the materials that will be used for a specific project, and it also allows me to insert the amount of money that is spent for each one. of materials, in order to reduce the cost of each project and save money.

Negative: One of the main problems that I have noticed within this platform is the minimalist interface, it is a fairly broad interface that allows it to be viewed in a general way all the projects and activities that are currently being developed, however, this minimalist interface can also be a problem when you have many projects going on at the same time, you will present several confusions to find a specific project or a specific activity. Another of the negative things about this platform is that it is quite expensive, I have made a comparison between this platform and other software in charge of project management, and I have noticed that this software is quite expensive compared to its alternatives, I consider that each one Most of the plans have quite professional features and tools that will develop an optimal project, however, it is very necessary that cheaper and more accessible plans be implemented for users.

Summary: Basecamp is a quick solution to those projects that need little management without so many details when it comes to reporting the work of an assigned task. With Basecamp you can manage projects from small businesses without worrying about having a negative return on investment since the ease in which its functions are and how quickly a project can be managed makes everything go ahead and say as you go. . You can even consider this platform in case of medium-sized projects, this platform can become something professional if you want or need it, already with high-grade projects you would have to think about it due to the limitation of the administrative functionalities of a project.

Positive: ° Its interface design is very simple, anyone with little knowledge of project management would be able to manage a simple project with this platform without any loss. It's amazing how empowering everything is so easy to find, without any loss and with a modern minimalist design that helps the user find everything easier and makes it easy on the eye.
° It has an integrated chat that helps maintain the order of communication within the participants who manage the project. This helps a lot because external programs are not required when you need to report something that is wrong and all this can be done from the BaseCamp platform.
° I can invite clients to participate in projects. Just as if it were one more employee, I can add the clients that are involved in a project to make it easier to report the status of each project involved and have everything clearer and more concise for the clients.
° Quick access to the platform, as well as to its registration. It was not difficult for me to put a few data on this platform, it did not ask for so much personal data to be able to complete the registration. In addition, its unique session is not complicated like other platforms that have unnecessary protocols that the platform has to be able to access, I prefer to be able to access easily to avoid setbacks in the projects that I am going to manage.
° I have excellent collaboration where I can assign tasks, share projects, complete steps. Everything in one place without the need to resort to external programs that further complicate the way in which a project is managed.

Negative: ° Neither large-scale projects can be managed due to its simplicity. If what you are looking for is more professional tools, Basecamp would not be for you because this platform is very simple to leave me a great job.
° Personalization is very limited. Although the colors of the theme can be edited, when we talk about functionalities it falls short in relation to how we can edit the functionalities within the main panel.
° It is not possible to view more than one project. It is convenient to be able to use Basecamp but at the same time that this functionality is missing it makes it look impractical when you want to manage several projects without leaving the main panel.
° I don't know how well it integrates with other platforms, which is very limiting, the fact of not being able to have everything within a single platform when it comes to marketing or CRM, it would be more like if you could work with other similar applications without leaving Basecamp.
° The application in Androis tends to crash and a lot. Giving me the main problem that notifications do not arrive on time, I have lost many of the notifications of the assigned tasks because on devices with the Android operating system there is a small delay in sending what is pending within Basecamp when there is a ongoing project to manage.

Summary: Basecamp is a really advanced software that will provide quite a slick project creation system, that this platform has been really easy to use, it took us about a week to adapt to all the project creation tools and functionalities, also we have integrated a great list of contacts of all our employees so that each one of them can have a collaborative work in the development of projects. I am very happy with the results obtained so far, I consider that this platform has had a very good performance within my company, it has helped us to develop real estate projects in a matter of days. The projects within our company have improved in an exempt way, in addition, we have noticed that now our employees work together, they can share ideas and solutions to complete activities and that the projects are developed much faster. I am very grateful to this platform for having given me such a complete experience.

Positive: The creation of projects is something quite important within the company, since we do everything possible so that there is a massive participation of our employees in the development of projects in the short and long term. Basecamp has behaved wonderfully and has provided perfect tools to develop projects in an organized and collaborative way, the thing that I have liked the most is:

- You have an excellent chat system in real time, in real time it helps you to communicate immediately with your work team, this Chat works 24 hours a day and helps projects to be developed with stable communication.

- The progress of the projects can be viewed in real time, within the main panel you will be able to see all the changes and the activities that your employees are developing at a specific moment, in addition, you will be able to see the participants for each activity in real time.

- Within each project, each employee will have the power to include more people within the project, so that it is collaborative work and that they receive support from their work colleagues. This feature is very important and helps you complete the project faster.

- I love that this platform also allows me to manage the budgets for each project, I can manage the number of tools and things that will be used for each project, and thus reduce the costs of the budget.

Negative: I have never really presented any type of problem with this platform, all the projects have been carried out successfully, in addition, we have been using it for more than a year and we have noticed that all the functionalities have fulfilled their main objective, and have contributed a creation of long-term management projects. The only negative thing about this platform is regarding its general interface, as the overview can turn out to be a bit simple for some people, the overview of the projects is not neat, you see all the projects that are being developed but you cannot filter any of them, to find them more specifically, there is no way to divide the projects that are being developed, all the projects are together within a main panel, it is a negative factor and I hope that you are interested in general and administration and visualization of the projects is improved within the platform.

Summary: Basecamp is a software that is really worth it for any company, I would recommend it for small, medium or large companies, it does not matter from which company you place it, in the same way it will provide innovative results and will give you a fairly good return on investment, since it is a fairly cheap software that offers really accessible plans. I am satisfied with the results obtained so far, I have been using this platform within my company for approximately two years, I work in the project center as a manager and this platform has been really key to developing long-term projects within my company, we constantly have to review projects for innovation and improvement of the properties that are sold in this company, and this platform has been key to developing all these projects on time. In addition, with the help of this platform I have managed to unite our work team so that they have greater collaboration, this platform encourages collaboration between teams, helps them to support each other in various activities to develop them on time. I am grateful for all the results obtained, I consider that it has had a positive impact on my company during all this time.

Positive: Basecamp has been a very necessary service for our company and especially for our projects sector, it has been the main platform that we have been using to develop projects in the short or long term, in addition, the availability of this platform to perform various functions at the same time. time is what we love the most, we can measure work time, measure the workforce of each of the employees, the things that I liked the most about this platform are the following:

1.- Within this platform you will have the opportunity to visualize, monitor and count the time your employees work, in addition, you will be able to know how much time they invest in completing each of the activities that have been previously planned, this functionality is one of the most important because it helps you visualize the workforce of each employee, you can see how much effort they are making and how many hours of work they have done on a specific day.

2.- Another thing that I love about this platform is that you can view the activities that are being developed in real time, from the main panel and with the column view you can view each of the activities that are in progress in an orderly manner. development, the pending activities and the activities that are delayed, this panel and that visualization help to monitor in a more continuous way each one of the activities and the responsibility that the employees are having to develop the activities on time.

3.- The alert and notification system is also perfect within this platform, I really like it because it alerts you when I am going to be late or has not been delivered in the planned time, in addition, it also sends you notifications when it has been added a new activity to planning.

4.- I also like the application for mobile devices, this application is really very well used, it helps you to monitor all the employees and plan activities within the projects in a matter of seconds and only using your cell phone.

5.- Real-time chat is also beneficial within the platform, this chat helps all employees to communicate during each activity or each development of a specific project, this chat is divided among participants, that means that each team will have a specific channel so that you can communicate with your colleagues.

Negative: Really, the only criticism I have about this platform is regarding its interface, I consider that the interface is quite simple, within the main panel you can view the different projects that are being developed in the different sectors of your company, however I have navigated in the various sections of the platform and the reports section and I consider that the general interface is quite simple, this platform should have a much more optimal and professional design to allow users to feel much more comfortable thanks to a much more personalized design. Regarding the general functionality of this platform, I consider that at no time have they given me any type of error, I do not have any type of complaints regarding the functionalities or tools provided during all this time, I consider that it is behaved to the extent and it has fulfilled its objective within the development of work projects, I have no complaints about the functions.

Summary: Previously, it was quite complicated to manage the large number of projects that we carry out in our company, due to the fact that we carry out new projects on a weekly basis, however, after the arrival of Basecamp, everything changed radically in a positive way, the project administration became in a much simpler process, currently, I can know exactly the projects that are being developed within our company, as well as I can learn much more about the participation that the employees are having in the development of the project, I am grateful for this platform because it has helped me a lot to progress within my company, it has allowed us to have greater success and higher remuneration in the long term. The administration of Gollito with the help of this acid platform is followed because I can have constant monitoring of the tasks that the three employees are developing to finish the projects, I can know exactly which employee is absent and which employee is working hard , as well as I can know the hour of work that each one of the employees dedicates in the elaboration of their activities. It is a fairly comfortable platform, a better learning curve must still be incorporated.

Positive: Basecamp is an excellent service to carry out all kinds of projects and manage the participation of each of the employees or people integrated in a project. One of the main things that I liked about this platform is that it allows me to coordinate the projects and tasks that each employee has to review to progress during this project, I work in the corporate sector, so the planning of the activities of my company must be done by me, so this platform has been quite collaborative for me, it has allowed me to divide the tasks according to the number of employees incorporated into a project, this way you can have a much more organized development process. The communication channel is another of the positive characteristics, since it allows us to generate all kinds of activities while we communicate with each other, we can share all kinds of messages during this chat channel, while we carry out different activities for the development of a project, too, Within this platform I can have control of the work hours of each of our employees, I can know exactly who has already fulfilled their duties during their working day, as well as who has missing work hours.

Negative: The learning curve of this platform can be a bit difficult for some people, this project management platform is not easy to use at all, organizing the calendar and column views is quite difficult for some employees in this company, so I believe that this platform should include a user manual so that new users can quickly jump on them and understand how to change the display of projects to a much more generalized display. The general platform is quite difficult to use, it is quite difficult to add tasks and manage the working hours of each employee individually, so the fact that some user manual system is integrated is quite urgent. I have no complaints regarding the operation of this platform, it has always provided effective functions, and has allowed us to develop projects in a positive way at all times.

Summary: Every month, we carry out various property remodeling projects and we also carry out projects to make property auctions. For us, Basecamp has been very useful, since we have registered the progress of the renovations of the properties and we can know exactly what percentage we need to finish the property. In addition, with Basecamp we can keep a record of all the remodeling that we have done, without the need to do a long paperwork that only takes time away from work. Basecamp is an amazing platform for storing data from projects we're doing at any given time, we're grateful for how helpful Basecamp has been.

Positive: The projects in our company are quite consistent, month after month, we carry out various projects such as property renovations or property constructions. For us, Basecamp has played quite an important role as it has helped us to develop those projects on a large scale. One of the things that I liked the most are:

- Basecamp monitors the work time within the project of all the members. I can easily see what the members have worked on, this information is public and all colleagues can see it without any type of limit.

- Basecamp's communication channels are impressive, the channels are divided by work groups and thus it is easier to contact people closest to you or in your work area. The channels help us to share ideas to optimize the project, it helps us to plan very well what we are going to do and it also allows us to know exactly the progress we have in the project.

- It offers us a predictive system, which makes an automatic prediction where we can see what performance the project may have in the future, depending on the work data collected in recent days.

- In our sales sector, I have been able to assign responsibilities to each employee, so that they contribute to the projects of our company, it is very easy to know exactly if they are complying with the assignments made in Basecamp, in addition, Basecamp sends alerts for when the subject almost finish.

Negative: Our experience has had more positive than negative factors, we have had a great use of Basecamp and it has contributed to the development of our projects, however, there is a negative factor that is important to mention so that it can be optimized, this negative factor is:

- Learning to use Basecamp was quite complicated. Despite the fact that it has been a platform that has given us excellent long-term results in the development of our projects, when we started using the platform we were quite confused, it was very complicated for us to register subjects, and it was also difficult for us to insert documents and files to the project. They were functions that at first we did not understand very well but with time, we adapted. It would be better if Basecamp came bundled with a user manual to help users quickly adapt to the features.

Summary: When 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.

Positive: This 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.

Negative: Very 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.

Summary: The 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.

Positive: It 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.

Negative: It 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.

Summary: It 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.

Positive: With 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.

Negative: Some 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.

Summary: Basecamp 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.

Positive: At 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.

Negative: One 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.

Summary: Very useful platform for virtual teams. The paid plan offers unlimited number of projects and users which is the most suitable feature for our business.
I recommend Basecamp to other users who want to plan for any size of a project.

Positive: This collaboration platform turned our ordinary teams into more productive and better-organized ones and it has necessary tools for setting up schedules and to-do-lists, creation and uploading of documents and also chat-enabled for teams.

Negative: I want to be able to archive unused topics for use in the future.

Summary: Basecamp is great for managing teams and acts as a form of communication between departments. I recommend it to any company that wants to be organized and keep track of their projects.

Positive: Breaking of tasks into subtasks for easy of assigning to teams.
It also acts as a communication channel between teams.
We are able to track what every team member is working on and the progress of the whole project.

Negative: There could be a starring feature that can help us mark important topics above the rest.

Summary: Overall, 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.

Positive: I 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.

Negative: Basecamp 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.
