Basecamp vs Pipedrive

• Task management - It is very easy to add, organize and discuss tasks within Basecamp's interface.
• The "Campfire" function is great for communicating when you just have a quick question for someone on the team.
• Notifications - Basecamp lets you decide how often and about what you'd like to be notified. The ability to respond to messages in Basecamp directly via email saves a lot of time.

• Onboarding - Pipedrive makes it very simple to onboard your organization with very simple tasks.
• Workflow Automation - for the price, Pipedrive's workflow automation tasks are very robust. It amazed me how many different tasks, from emails to creating activities, it is fantastic how much time a well designed system can save your organization.
• Tracking deal stages is very simple and what is nice is now actionable which certainly keeps you on your toes to close the net deal.

• High Learning Curve. It's true that it can be easy to use, but to use well and effectively takes some time to learn. It's recommended to have an agreed-upon system in your team of what tools to use and when.
• Notification Overload. If people aren't careful they could send a notification to everyone when only a couple people were meant to be prompted. And since emails are sent by default, you could have your mailbox overloaded with unnecessary updates. This is where it takes a bit of training in your team to have an agreed-upon system.
• Lack of organization with Archived Projects. I will often need to reference an archived project to make a new one, but there is only a list of archived projects in alphabetical order, with no way to organize by archive date, or even search.

• There is definitely a bit of a learning curve
• Marketplace integrations developed by Pipedrive need some work as they're not too reliable or 'fully-featured' yet
• It is expensive compared to alternatives and extra addons are costly even though it could be argued they should be part of the main package.

• It has saved me time when having to get the same message out to multiple restaurants
• It has helped us make smarter operational decisions because we can all collaborate on an answer in a shorter amount of time (instead of calling a meeting!!!)
• The calendar function allows us to plot out our marketing agenda for the month and add/change it together as needed. The chef will post his recipe, the managers will cost it out, the social media manager will post pictures on it, and ultimately we will get that information out on an info sheet to the staff by printing the page.

• Overall Pipedrive has had a great impact on our ability to manage sales opportunities across multiple Pipelines and deal types. The ability to instantly see the status of every deal working is huge, especially when combined with a smart set up of the Deal Rotting function, and the fact the by default Pipedrive prompts you to always add a next action when completing an activity on a deal. It really teaches you to stay on top of deals.
• Aside from being able to manage more deals on an individual level, Pipedrive's Sale Management of Deals allows sales managers to more effectively manage and empower their sales reps. This is key to being able to scale an early stage start-up or growth stage company. Every opportunity counts. And Pipedrive makes sure you have the ability to work them.
• Pipedrive is straightforward and intuitive to use. It's simplicity hides a sophistication and elegance in the whole design and deployment of the tool. The team at Pipedrive obviously is experienced in managing sales and the processes essential to closing business. You won't have a huge learning curve for almost everyone you bring onto the platform.
