Basecamp Demo - Projects
Projects are at the heart of Basecamp. They include all the tools you may need to manage your team, like messages, to-dos, files, chat, and Card Table, our take on Kanban.
Basecamp Demo - Docs & Files
Every project includes a space to share documents, files, and images. Since everyone on the project has access, people will know exactly where to find everything.
Basecamp Demo - Card Table, our take on Kanban.
Card Table is perfect for reactive work. Cards move through different columns as tasks change stages. Assign teammates, write comments, and even place cards on hold if you need to work on something else.

"It has been a best project management tool"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

What I like best about Basecamp is how calm it feels to use. Everything you need is in one place without trying to do too much. Tasks, discussions, files, and timelines are easy to find, which cuts down on noise and constant back-and-forth. It helps teams stay aligned without turning project management into a full-time job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

What I dislike about Basecamp is that it can feel a bit limiting once projects get more complex. The lack of advanced reporting, detailed task dependencies, and flexible views makes it harder to manage larger or fast-moving teams. It works well for simplicity, but that same simplicity can get in the way when you need deeper control or customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for collab but the UI can be confusing"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Honestly, the homepage is great. All your activities are in one place. Sometimes it can be confusing to find things within. The system itself in the homepage is very helpful. Basecamp also sends you daily notifications as to what’s going on, even if you’re not directly involved. You can choose to see or not see conversations from other coworkers. No spam emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The interface can be a little bit confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking for. I’m on a Mac so I can just use command J to look for what I’m looking for, but it can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Project Management with Unmatched Simplicity"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

What i like the most about basecamp is its simplicity and sharp focus on clarity. Unlike other project management tools that feel bloated, basecamp keeps things streamlined like tasks, discussions and files are all in one place without unnecessary complexity. The message board and to-do lists make it easy to keep my team aligned without drowning in notifications. I also like that it reduces context switching. I dont have to jump between multiple apps to manage projects. The clean UI and minimal learning curve mean new team members can get up to speed quickly which is a huge win for productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

i often need advanced features like dependency tracking and integration with development tools but basecamp doesn't offer much in terms of automation or analytics which makes it harder to manage large scale projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Effective Project Management Tool"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I think Basecamp is very intuitive and simple. I like that we get notifications on email, on the app itself, and also when you integrate it with Slack. This helps us know what's happening and what progress we have. I enjoy tagging people, uploading things, using emojis, and comments. The ability to change due dates for a day or a certain amount of days is really handy. I appreciate how you can personalize the different boards for different projects, whether you want to use a chat, a dialogue service, or focus on task-based projects or calendar-based tasks. Basecamp makes the experience of using it very simple, intuitive, quick, automated, and enjoyable, which I really value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I think there's room for more customization on the app. On how to manage projects and how to set due dates or, having multiple assignees. The way it's managed, it's something that you can do, but I think it can be done better, like, you don't have the chance to do a campaign board if you want to. So maybe have a few other ways in which you can present boards will be ideal. More customizable. And I think they are off to a more robust or complete, project management tool with those type of adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp Makes Team Organization Effortless and Centralized"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I love how everything—tasks, files, messages, and schedules—is in one place. No more digging through emails or 5 different apps just to find something.

2. Basecamp keeps my team super organized without being complicated. Even new team members pick it up quickly, which saves a ton of time.

3. The To-Do lists are simple but powerful. Assigning tasks, adding due dates, and tracking progress feels effortless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Sometimes I wish there were more advanced customization options, but honestly, the simplicity is also what makes it easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp Project Management tool Review"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

It is an amazing project management tool which let's us create projects easily and add team members to that specific project. It is really useful to add tasks in list and other documents related. It makes it easier to keep track of work and tasks being done combined with easy to use UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The tool doesn't have latest and advanced features like charts and AI which makes it a bit outdated for the price being paid. The customer service is also not good. The overall platform has very less integrations with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized Project Management, But Support Needs Improvement"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I really like Basecamp's message board feature where we chat about a particular topic and share thoughts from different team members. Once things get clarified, we use the tools section to plan our tasks. I also appreciate the document feature, which helps us keep all our documents in a centralized place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I don't like the user-based pricing over Basecamp. The support team is sometimes not helpful and feels more like an AI chatbot. They don't understand the context of the question and give textbook prewritten answers. Also, even though Basecamp claims to reduce the need for emails and other forms of communication, that's not usually the case for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Communication That Keeps Teams Aligned, But Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp makes it easy to keep everyone on the same page across multiple farm sites. I like how it centralises communication, task lists, and document sharing in one place, which is especially useful during busy harvest periods when teams are spread out. It helps reduce confusion, improves accountability, and ensures important updates like health and safety notices or operational plans reach the right people quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp can feel a bit limited for complex farm operations because it doesn’t offer advanced project tracking or resource management features. For teams spread across multiple sites, the lack of offline functionality is also a challenge—if internet access is poor in rural areas, communication and updates can be delayed. Additionally, it can take time for seasonal staff to get used to the system during busy periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"KPI visibility made simple with basecamp"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp simplifies project management while still giving me the depth i need to stay on top of complex workflows. The platform feels intuitive yet powerful enough to handle the technical rigor of my projects. On of my favorite features is the ability to track the key performance indicators and baseline assessments throughout the entire project lifecycle. I often work on multiple projects simultaneously and having a centralized view of KPIs helps me quickly identify if i'm on track or need to course correct myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

While alerts are helpful, they can sometimes become noisy. I easily get flooded with notifications that aren't always critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience and insights on basecamp"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

What I appreciate about basecamp is how seamlessly it brings everything together in one place. The integrations are a huge win for me, being able to connect with CRM tools, marketing platforms and even customer service softwares. On the back office side, the ability to integrate with accounting software and ERP systems keeps operations smooth and aligned. When it comes to content and documents, basecamp really shines. File sharing is straight forward, notes can be shared internally or externally and the search functionality saves me time when i need to find something fast.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I dont dislike anything about basecamp. It works perfectly for me always. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
