Basecamp

Collaborate and order your teamwork

Kommentare: Basecamp is an interactive and practical platform for remote work, I like it because you can organize everything in one place, I can create chat groups and thus have a more orderly communication with my team, the interface is simple and its dashboard is intuitive, you can order the To-Dos, message board in one place.

Vorteile:

What I like about using Basecamp is the ability to see who is responsible for what tasks, as well as their due date and current status. It is a wonderful resource for project cooperation and responsibility management and is an ideal tool for project management for organizations of any size. Access to every aspect of a project is vital for our company, since we are continually seeking to improve how we manage projects and interact. The variety of templates and the option to collaborate with others are two of my favorite features. When one user edits a sheet, the other user who is logged in can access the updated version, It is easy to add collaborators and view who else is on the sheet simultaneously.

Nachteile:

It lacks better integration with Excel to generate better results.

Basecamp review

Kommentare: It has been a good experience overall. It helped us for task management and replaced trello and google chat

Vorteile:

It is a combination of a tool that can be used for collaboration and communication. This tool provides with a basic task management functionality. Task management is very good on the tool and tasks assigned can easily be segregated.

Nachteile:

Tool is very basic and we face downtime every now and then. Project/task management functionality is very basic.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Todoist und Hive

Warum Basecamp gewählt wurde: Trello is too basic, slow and difficult for task management.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Basecamp: It was under the budget and filled our requirement list.

Difficult to navigate

Vorteile:

It's easy to see a list of tasks that I must complete and the due date.

Nachteile:

It's difficult to find conversations with other team members. Between the Pings, Hey, and Activity tabs, I'm never really sure where to go.

Basecamp gives you a lot of bang for the buck

Vorteile:

Basecamp does almost everything we need to do, with the ability to use the APIs we've managed to extend Basecamp to work with our internal and some external systems. Every single project is tracked and managed via the app, our project hours are recorded against each project using the API and we can report on these for costings at any point. There are more competent project management software packages out there, but all of these charge per user and would be a lot more expensive.

Nachteile:

There's a few small features missing, one of these is project management across multiple projects, we're not able to produce GANNT charts or assign people to projects with working hours to ensure the member of staff isn't overloaded. This is minor overall but would definitely be something great to have.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira, Trello und Autotask PSA

Warum Basecamp gewählt wurde: Basecamp gave us more flexibility and at a lower cost than Trello.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Basecamp: Mainly due to cost.

Still don't understand its full capacity

Kommentare: Basecamp is an amazing tool for remote workers. It helps us to plan and be agile. I love the fact that I can see what everyone is working on and it keeps me organized. I can easily create to-do lists, track deadlines, and communicate with my team. The interface is user-friendly and I hate the email notifications feature as of now. Need to see if I can stop it. Also, even though I never directly interacted my manages says the customer service is amazing.

Vorteile:

Basecamp is a project and task management tool for remote workers, which is great, because I'm a remote worker. It is not so easy to use but helps keep my professional tasks organized. I am still not used to it, but I am sure that with time I will get the hang of it. I think it would be great for people who are used to working with remote teams and need a way to keep track of what everyone is doing. I love that Basecamp keeps all of my project information in one place. I don't have to worry about losing track of what's going on. I also really appreciate the ability to comment on specific tasks. This helps me keep track of what everyone in my team is working on.

Nachteile:

It has a lot of features that I am yet to explore and maybe this is just for me but Basecamp sends me around hundred emails everyday. Not Cool.
