Chose Asana
I'd choose Asana as a solution in case I need to deal with project management and working with other people. In case I need to also have private conversations with anyone involved in a project, I'd prefer Slack. And in case I'd like just a task management tool without too …
Trello is really just more on boards and the con with that is if you list lots of task under one headboard some tasks are buried from the view since the boards are a bit big. I like the list feature of Asana, especially for project management. Trello on the other is a great …
Basecamp is a great tool but looks a bit juvenile next to Asana. Basecamp treated us very well but Asana is a perfect fit for us now. It's easy to use and clients use it, which is a big win.
Teamwork was extremely complex and cluttered. Something that made is really hard for my …
Asana is simpler and easier to manage than Teamwork Projects and Wrike for smaller teams, but still offers more features than Basecamp and requires a lot less customization than monday.com.
Asana is better organized than Basecamp and less visually confusing. It's more user intuitive and clear about what exactly needs to get done and what elements depend on others being executed. Overall, the list and kanban views allow for a more natural, more organized viewing …
Basecamp is more for individual work tasks and it fails to provide an overall bigger picture of how the project is going as a whole. I like Asana much better because it gives visual cues to let you know whether you're going to hit a deadline or if there are bottlenecks in the …
Asana generally takes less time to set up, so for my small team that has limited experience working with project management tools, Asana is great. We didn't need anything with lots of bells and whistles so Asana works well. ClickUp takes much more time to set up initially, but …
I liked Asana's user interface and ability to assign tasks to others and check on the status of them. However, the calendaring function is inferior to Basecamp's, so my team preferred to use Basecamp only.
Basecamp was a great tool, but it was paid and things like recurring tasks and opening new projects was a pain. Asana, as a free tool, has been better for our organization as it serves the basic functions very well and is not complicated otherwise. I really like the …
In my personal opinion, I think that Asana is the easiest one to use out of Basecamp and JIRA. I know that our devs like JIRA but for our marketing team, we prefer Asana hands-down. Basecamp is clunky and awkward when trying to use. I always felt like things were falling …
We have a lot of different software available and different teams are using different products. I think Asana is comparable to many of the other software that we use. It was slightly less intuitive than I would have expected, but it did help keep everyone updated on the project …
The other agency we were working with selected Asana as it's a tool with easy access. Other more broad project management tools require contracts and setup time, this is easy to create an account and login to. We used it for one project and it helped give a full picture of the …
Some features are better; some are too much. Not huge differences.

We tried it as one my developers swore up and down how good it was at the startup... well it crashed in our office, since we didn't end up working the way they did. We are more of a dev ops company than a social media or open source
When we were researching project management systems for our small business, Asana gave us the most for free. It really allowed us to dive into the product before we committed to it. The features allowed us to customize aspects of the system to use it for projects as well as …
We made Asana our task manager because it offers us the necessary tools, and the most important thing is that it can be used from any device and place.
We are evaluating Forecast as another project management option. The benefit of Asana is that is it usable on mobile whereas Forecast is not. Asana is also more affordable, making it easy to add teammates and clients. Since Asana does not manage resources/time allocation like …
Workamajig builds timelines and in Asana you have to do it manually. It would be great if we could build templates to see what days we will need certain projects by.
Both software are very similar to each other, even in the economic factor, the reason we choose Asana over the others is because of its usability, the software is very easy to use which helps to get the most out of it, in addition to the integrations that provide Asana with …
Asana has a lot of great free tools and makes it easy to create projects and add team members to the project. I think it's a good value compared to others and is the most straight forward to use. I find it to be the most helpful for both personal and team projects.
We loved the fun design hacks (e.g., flying celebratory unicorns when you complete a task, Tab+B puts tabby cats on your screen temporarily; themed backgrounds). We're marketers–can you blame us?! But in all seriousness, we chose Asana over other similar products because of the …

After trying several other options, including Zoho and Basecamp we settled on Asana. The time to value was the shortest when we factored in the learning curve, relevant functionality, mobile friendliness and most importantly the team calendar. Another great aspect is that it …
Trello - great but a bit young. Good integration points. I think it could be a good too to integrate with. Some people enjoy the KanBan type view and Asana doesn't have that currently. Basecamp - more project manager focused but also a good integration point. JIRA - Better for …
I have used both Asana and Basecamp and have liked both for different reasons. I like Asana for solo projects and to keep a running to do list. I think the layout and interface just works well for that. For client projects, I think Basecamp is better because it's a bit easier …
Both Basecamp and Asana are great project management tools. I think where Basecamp excels is with tracking. Teams can keep track of schedules and deadlines. You have deadlines with Asana but need 3rd-party applications to keep track of how work has been done in a particular …
Basecamp is probably towards the bottom of the totem pole here based on what our needs were. Trello lacks reporting as well, but there's much more customization with Trello. Asana has more reporting and integration capabilities. monday.com is my favorite so far. The amount of …
Asana has lots of features but no Gantt charts which is kind of the basis for a lot of work that we do. On the other hand, the campfire discussion here is an absolute innovation.
Trello is heavy on features but locks us to a certain view which may not be suitable for all the …
I love both of these other products and would use them specifically for my own personal use or in other situations but hands down, I believe that Basecamp offers better flexibility and ease of use for an organization that has never used a project management tool before. …
Basecamp is better than alternatives like TeamWork and Asana. There are many software that are similar however the interface for me is better in Basecamp. It's user-friendly and it's a clean and simple way to communicate with groups and manage projects. It's cheaper than other …
Asana has a free tier that has fewer features than Basecamp, so we opted for Basecamp for the additional ways we could use it. The Kanban board style in Asana is nice, but the document repository, chat features, recurring templates, etc. were selling points for Basecamp. It …
In my opinion, Basecamp has a better interface than Asana and Jira. I remember it took me sometime to get used to Asana and even longer to get used to Jira, but adoption for Basecamp was instant. Things are so clearly labeled and displayed that I was able to get comfortable …
Asana has an expanded list of capabilities over Basecamp. If you're looking for a simple tool, Basecamp is your go-to. If you need something that makes it easy to schedule recurring tasks, dependencies, mass updates, seeing a project map, and capacity of your team, Asana is the …
I've also used ClickUp and Asana. My personal favorite is ClickUp although it is limited in how it integrates with Slack which caused me to switch to Asana. ClickUp has a ton of features, including on their free plan and in my opinion is much better than Basecamp. Asana is …
Basecamp is the best application we've found for our team to interface with external clients. It makes project management simple, and allows our clients visibility into their projects, which in turn builds trust, fosters open communication, and improves customer satisfaction. …
Basecamp is probably my least favorite. As a project manager, I'm always auditing our workflow and processes, so I try to run at least trials of project management software to get a feel for if they would help us do things more efficiently. I struggled the most with Basecamp.
Basecamp if far simpler than ClickUp. We use ClickUp to manage our internal task management, as it provides more customization, additional views and more room for extreme detail in tasks. We used Basecamp for clients because of its simplicity and ease-of-use. Basecamp requires …
There is a simplicity that basecamp offers where most other project management systems seem to miss. They've worked hard at keeping the right things in place and not adding so many of the extra features that just get in the way of getting work done. The thing I liked most …
We selected Basecamp for the low cost of entry for the org and the number of users who had previous experience on Basecamp. We ultimately will be transitioning to another project management tool that includes relational decision capability and Gantt chart capacity.
Comparatively, Basecamp has been found to be the easiest to use and onboard new users. Additionally the cost model for our organisation is much lower on Basecamp compared to the competition.
Other products are more aligned with Agile practices but for most of our operational …
Basecamp is perfect for small-time collaboration. It's suited for projects that need organization but not granular detail. When you need more than a simple little bit of help, you'll be looking at other solutions at that point. Very straight forward and to the point but that is …
My previous company felt that it was an "all in one" platform because it was one place to house our documents, it has the messaging option, and it was easy to keep track of important dates through it where clients/assisting teams could see.
Basecamp links all of the functionalities of a messenger feature (thanks to Pings) with task delegating and managing the project. Marketer's life became much easier with Basecamp.
Basecamp helps groups work together by keeping all messages, documents, work lists and calendar in a single location that is easy to access anytime and from anywhere. Manages tasks and reporting of tasks completing. It can be accessed through a mobile app or through web …
Haven't tried any other software or platform other than Basecamp, but before the purchase process we reviewed other products and they seem very similar and the decision that got us to buy Basecamp was because of the price and the understanding of the web page related to the …
