![]() ![]() Once you figure Basecamp out, you’ll be fine, just expect somewhat of a journey to get to that point. If this was our experience with the software, it will likely be yours too. However, Basecamp forced us to use the training materials to learn how to activate hill charts, boards and more. ![]() We have reviewed many project management tools and can figure out software quickly. As a result, you’ll spend a lot of time digging around and searching for anything unrelated to communication tools. There are numerous native integrations, but you can also use a service like Zapier for integrations.īig, bold cards on the home screen and in projects and a persistent top menu make navigation easier.Īfter using the software for a while, we can tell you that Basecamp isn’t tricky to use, but it’s not as user-friendly as platforms like or Asana, where everything is laid out in front of you. This is a good thing because, out of the box, Basecamp’s features are on the light side. Automations and Integrationsįortunately, many platforms can integrate with Basecamp, including Adobe’s Creative Cloud, Clockify, Salesforce, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Zoom and more. If communication is the most important thing to your team, Basecamp will wow if you need more productivity tools, you’re better off looking elsewhere. On the plus side, both of Basecamp’s plans offer lots of storage space (500GB for Basecamp users and 5TB for Pro Unlimited members), which means your team can share documents, files and images galore. We were expecting there to be more real-time collaboration tools in Basecamp, so this is disappointing. However, as good as the communication tools are, Basecamp is lacking in other collaboration areas compared to project management tools like ClickUp and its whiteboards and Notion (here’s our Notion review) with its stellar real-time document creation features. For example, clients can join projects as guests, be assigned tasks and chat with team members directly, which should help keep all parties on the same page and keep emails to a minimum.Ĭampfire is a real-time group chat tool that lets teams brainstorm in real time. There are even options that allow for collaboration with stakeholders. Many tools allow you to chat with your whole team and individuals. Collaboration Toolsīasecamp shines when it comes to communication. However, It’s mildly infuriating that the workflow tools are not entirely cohesive. However, if you don’t work on overly complex jobs but need a tool to help you manage multiple projects and jot down and track tasks, you’ll likely be okay with the to-do list, board and schedule. We suggest looking elsewhere for robust kanban tools.īasecamp is not a task management tool first, and it shows. Oddly, your schedule (calendar) will update with the tasks you add to the board, which leads to confusion. However, the board and your to-do list do not update each other. Adding cards and columns is painless, and interacting with the cards is straightforward. The kanban tool is disabled by default, which is for the best because it feels incomplete. Unfortunately, the kanban board in Basecamp is beyond simple. However, there are some issues that you need to know about before you dive in. In fact, we’re sure that Basecamp could become a valuable platform for teams that need robust communication tools and simple workflow features. Still, Basecamp is powerful and does have its place. ![]()
