• 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.

• I use Basecamp V2 because the newer V3 misses some functionality of V2. It seems it was built for a slightly different purpose. Unfortunately, V2 is not seeing feature updates as often as V3
• Integration with other platforms would be nice. For example, I'd love to see my personal calendar or my business Outlook calendar overlaid on the Basecamp calendar, but this is not a possibility currently.
• I can subscribe to Basecamp's iCal to show the Basecamp calendar on my personal calendar, which is handy, but it is quite limited. I can't see any detail about the task aside from the title. None of the description or information on what project or task list the task is attached to.

• 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.

• We have far less meetings! Which is great. I think this has made us far more efficient, wasting time with meetings and getting more done.
• We are able to keep track of notes and progress on a project much more easily. I feel like things stay on track much better than before we had Basecamp.
• I think timelines and deadlines are kept very clear and everyone has clear expectations. This means people know exactly what they need to work on at any given time (and know what they will be working on next too). As bad as it sounds to say, I think before we had Basecamp, deadlines and timelines weren't very clear sometimes.

• Pipedrive has had an extremely positive impact on our overall business objectives. More specifically, the return on investment has been magnified by the fact that it is fairly inexpensive.
• I can recall 2-3 conversations which prompted my boss and myself to note how convenient Pipedrive is.
• Like most companies, it can often feel like we are spinning many plates at once. Even when our team is not able to connect in person every day, our projects are capable of progressing. Pipedrive has allowed us to press forward where we (normally) would have lacked the communication necessary in doing so.
