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.

"AN BEST SOFTWARE FOR MANAGEMENT"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is the best software for task and project management. It is user-friendly software. It is a very effective and efficient software for business and project management. We can collect all the data at a particular place on this software. We can also share images, videos and documents easily with the team members. We can also manage several projects through this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp is expensive software to purchase. they should add some more features to their software. Their customer care services are also not up to the mark. The website may lag or crash in between work. There are some random errors in the files due to which the work should be deleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp a wonderful tool for collaboration"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I have been using Basecamp daily because of its unique and easy-to-use features, like its simplicity and easy integration that brings together to-do lists, message boards, file sharing, schedules, and team chat with ease of implementation. It Promotes clear communication and accountability by keeping everything organized and transparent. It has features like automatic check-ins reduce interruptions and has 24/7 customer available for any type of query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Basecamp is too basic for complex project management needs. It lacks advanced features like Gantt charts and task dependencies, time tracking, or detailed reporting. The communication tool, like Campfire Chat, feels limited compared to dedicated messaging platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp is my best friend"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is by far the best project management tool I have used. I wish I could have my own Basecamp to just organize my personal life. It is so intuitive to use, the team is so responsive in rolling out better features, and it is not overwhelming for clients to join me on. I use Basecamp on a daily basis, it is so nice that our work platform does not cause friction in my daily work life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The only thing that I would love to see on Basecamp is the ability to sort the to-do lists in a project by due date automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple yet powerful hub for engineering teams"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

what i like about basecamp is how it combines simplicity with powerful functionality. Its core features like message boards, To Dos, Docs and files, campfire creates a single hub for collaboration. The message boards keep discussions organized and searchable so decisions dont get lost in chat threads. I also appreciate the built in scheduling and hill charts for visual progress tracking, they give a clear picture of where the projects stand without micromanaging.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I dont see much of downsides to basecamp. It is a well though out platform that supports both collaboration and autonomy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for communication and collaboration with customers"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is an excellent tool for improving communication between customers and businesses. I really like that it allows you to manage different types of content and decide what information your customers can see. It also provides direct communication channels, which makes collaboration smoother and faster. Another great feature is the ability to create calendar events, notes, and documents all in one place, making it a strong repository for project-related information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The biggest drawback is the lack of a search bar. When you need to find something specific, you have to manually browse through folders or threads, which can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially if there’s a lot of information stored. A robust search function would make the platform much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely Love Basecamp"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

We’ve been using Basecamp for a while now, and what I love most is how it brings everything into one place. Instead of chasing emails, searching for files, or trying to remember which chat thread had the update, Basecamp makes it easy to keep our team organized and on the same page.

The most helpful feature for us is the way projects are set up. Each project has its own space for tasks, discussions, files, and deadlines. It keeps communication clear and focused, which means fewer things fall through the cracks. I also really appreciate how simple it is to use—our team didn’t need a long learning curve to get up and running.

Basecamp has become our go-to hub for collaboration. It helps us feel connected, stay accountable, and work more efficiently without the overwhelm. It’s not just a tool—it’s like having a friendly assistant keeping everything tidy and easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

If I had to pick one thing I don’t love about Basecamp, it’s that sometimes the simplicity can feel limiting. Because it’s designed to be clean and easy to use, it doesn’t have all the advanced bells and whistles that other project management tools offer. For example, if you’re someone who likes really detailed reporting or heavy customization, you might find yourself wishing for a bit more.

That said, I actually appreciate that trade-off most days—it keeps things from getting overly complicated. But every now and then, I do wish I had just a few more advanced features at my fingertips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp makes the teamwokr easy!"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is a great tool for managing projects and communicating with both teammates and clients. I’ve been using it at my company since 2016, and over the years, they’ve added very interesting features that have made our daily work much easier. It’s a very complete and great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

I think one thing that could be improved is notifications. It doesn’t happen often, but there have been times when we’ve missed some of them, maybe due to caching or something similar. The same when we change your status to out or replace an image, this takes some time for the change to be reflected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, truly, at this point - I find it very intuitive and personalble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
