I did struggle a little initially but I have really settled into using it effortlessly now. > > My work colleague has it set up and I can easily see what work is expected from me and also where my work fits in to the bigger picture. ----- ### "Basecamp has helped me keep track of everything and overall it works great" — 5.0/5 > **Corey** | *17 September 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Before Basecamp, someone would always say they never received an e-mail/text-message regarding an assignment/task. Basecamp brings all conversation/documentation related to each project into one central area. Simply assign a task to a team member with a deadline and every other team member will know exactly where they stand. The back-and-forth question process is greatly reduced. No longer do we need multiple applications to complete a task. > > **Cons**: The user interface is quite slow/ugly and frustrating when you're working on a lot of projects at once. Disappointing that you cannot customize the dashboard, nor can you add any advanced filtering capabilities. Great for small/simple tasks; however, if you want to perform any type of complex manipulation of your data, forget about it. My boss occasionally complains about their pricing model changing. Using the search capability also makes my head hurt while attempting to locate a PDF file created months ago. > > We were using to send everything via e-mail and WhatsApp messages and it was extremely difficult to locate anything. Glad nothing broke when we loaded all of these large files yesterday. The fact that the chat (message board) and "to-do" list are both on the same screen is very nice. ----- ### "Better in hindsight" — 5.0/5 > **Nicholas** | *26 July 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like how the software provides the information we need clearly on the site, there's other tools that we have used that in hindsight that aren't as good at managing a timeline of work. > > **Cons**: I still don't like that notifications are hard to see if you accidentally close them out, and I wish that there was a better log. > > We have moved on from basecamp to other software, but I really wish we were back on it. I miss the features and use it personally for independent work,. ----- ### "Works great and has worked so far" — 5.0/5 > **Justin** | *2 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how with Basecamp you get to see all the work being done by others rather than going through your inbox looking for things that may or may not be there (which I really dislike doing first thing Monday). Our setup did not cause it to crash. I am glad we were able to keep the files approved in one spot. I was sure that the Creative Cloud connection would blow our computer out of the water, but it seemed to hold its own pretty well. > > **Cons**: Finding something related to an old project is almost impossible unless you remember the actual strange ID number associated with the item since the search function just quits searching once you type something into it. Too many buttons are available on this software. My team members are still complaining about spending several weeks to learn the basics of Basecamp and also why every time Basecamp updates itself it sends me another stupid email stating nothing new. > > This keeps my team from sending me messages to ask if there is a new version of some document on slack. The boss's can view dashboard reports of who is working on what projects, which is nice because I no longer need to build spreadsheet to show where everyone is at and we can quit using our messy old system. ----- ### "It’s actually really great with organization" — 5.0/5 > **Eugene** | *9 September 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I guess the time tracking works fine as long as you click “start” and don’t break it; that is probably a lot of why I am using Basecamp. I need to go take my dog for a walk he's chewing the door and barking. It also has this dashboard (I think) that did not crash when we were able to add some outside clients to our workspace. To be honest I thought most likely all of the integrations would fail and we were able to connect outlook and get all of our emails. > > **Cons**: Basecamp sends me way too many emails on new Features that no one has requested, so they fill up my email box. If you want one simple report you will have to pay an additional $30 dollars per month per person. Way too many clicks. > > We have less meetings now since me and my team can just look at the boards. Blueprints were somewhat confusing when we first set them up but glad that we don’t have to start from scratch every single time. Before Basecamp we would lose client feedback in slack channels but Basecamp holds everything together. Glad we can assign tasks to multiple developers without the system crashing on us. ----- Page: 1 / 579\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/4057/basecamp?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/4057/basecamp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
