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.
Basecamp Demo - Timeline
Ever wondered what you missed while you were out? Or how's progress on a project? With Basecamp, you can always check the Timeline and see everything happening. Whether you're checking on a project, a teammate, or the entire company, Basecamp makes it easy.

"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.

"Basecamp keeps our projects focused and communication clear"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

What I like most about Basecamp is how it keeps everything in one place without feeling overloaded. The to-dos, message boards, and files are all easy to find. I know where to look when I need updates, which cuts down on back-and-forth and brings clarity to teamwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

One thing that could be better is the way notifications are handled. It’s easy to get too many alerts or miss something if they pile up. A bit more control over what triggers a notification would help keep focus where it matters. 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.

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.

"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.
