Basecamp eases communication

What do you like best? Our workspace has two locations, and few employees, which means we rarely meet as a large group, and often don't see each other during the day. Basecamp allows us to stay in communication about various events and topics. What do you dislike? It's easy to "loose" things in the shuffle. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are able to communicate through a very spread out team - and stay in touch about ...

Basecamp is a solid project management software

What do you like best? I love how simple basecamp is, it makes project management and team and client communication super simple. It's very easy to track what's completed, what's in progress and follow messages related to tasks. What do you dislike? Basecamp wasn't able to migrate a project over from a partner company to my basecamp. This unfortunately caused us to look for an alternative solution. Support was no help to accomplishing this, however Teamwork (an alternative software ...

What do you dislike? It's the nature of the job, but managing meetings and events can create a lot of back and forth emails. Basecamp will send reminders to your email ...
