Things are easy to find and navigate. Well designed interface, rarely struggle to find options. > > **Cons**: Could use more project timeline-related tools, but then again, it is really good as it is now, based on my experience. > > Very positive. Serves as a central repository and can easily find out project status by visiting basecamp. ----- ### "Best PM software available" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 November 2018* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Basecamp's customer service is second to none. Send a request through via email to their support and it's answered (and solved) within minutes. Basecamp combines multiple softwares into one: work chat, task management, project management, and cloud storage. > > **Cons**: The way that emails sent from Basecamp to our clients had none of our own branding on it - they just had Basecamps brand. ----- ### "A Great All-in-One Project Management Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Nikki** | *9 September 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy Basecamp makes it to keep projects, tasks, files, and team communication organized in one place. It’s user-friendly, easy for our team to navigate, and helps keep everyone on the same page without making project management feel overly complicated. The file sharing and communication features are especially helpful for keeping project information accessible and organized. > > **Cons**: Some features can feel limited compared to more advanced project management platforms. The invoicing and payment options could also be more robust, and it can take some time to get everything organized the way you want. Overall, though, the simplicity is also one of Basecamp’s strengths. > > Overall, my experience with Basecamp has been very positive. It provides a simple and effective way to manage projects, organize files, communicate with team members, and keep important information in one place. The platform is easy to learn and helps our team stay organized without being overly complicated. While there are some areas where I would like to see more advanced features, Basecamp has been a reliable tool for our day-to-day project management needs. ----- ### "Gets the job done\!" — 4.0/5 > **Hannah** | *21 September 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's very visually pleasing to look at and it's easy to see who's working on a project and what boards are attached to each project. In the home page you can see an overview of everything, from the latest activity on each of the projects you're in, the projects themselves, and then a "quick add" section for folders, new projects, etc. > > **Cons**: It's a great tool if you just need a space to collaborate and assign tasks, but there are some limitations in terms of sub tasks. You can create sub tasks for your items, but you can't create sub sub tasks. That might seem small, but in many cases it would have been very helpful\! It's also a bit difficult to navigate to where your items are. Instead of them being on like the home page where you're going to see everything, you have to navigate and filter on another page. > > Overall, it's great if you need basic management of your projects. It's not a great platform for nitty gritty planning, but it gets the job done if you need collaborators and a basic project planning platform\! ----- ### "Basecamp 5 is a perfect failure" — 2.0/5 > **Drew** | *1 June 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Basecamp has been a reliable project management and client collaboration platform since the classic version, delivering consistent core functionality across message boards, to-dos, file storage, campfire chat, and schedules Flat rate Pro Unlimited pricing is genuinely competitive and predictable for teams with large numbers of client users Clients can be added to projects at no additional cost, making it cost-effective for agency and SaaS onboarding workflows The platform served as an effective personalized documentation and training center, with clients actively using every feature > > **Cons**: The Basecamp 5 migration has been the worst product update experience in years of use dating back to Basecamp Classic Dozens of process-breaking workflow changes shipped with no opt-out or legacy mode Admin control over participant notification settings was removed; users must now manage their own notification preferences per project individually, destroying any ability to manage this at scale across hundreds of projects Project list access, archived items, templates, lineup, and other frequently used features were buried behind search bars and nested menus with no direct navigation Support response to every reported issue has been a consistent "sorry, that's the way it is now," with no acknowledgment that the changes broke real workflows > > The Basecamp 5 update has been the worst update migration experience and I've been a user since Basecamp classic. The number of process breaking changes are so long, we stopped tracking them. Basecamp's response, across the board, to each support request has been "sorry, that's the way it is now." ----- Page: 1 / 579\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/56808/basecamp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/56808/basecamp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
