Basecamp vs Samepage

• Ease of use meaning that non-technical users can be onboarded with minimal training required
• Range of features meaning that you can use Basecamp as your core project management platform and don't need to rely on other tools in conjunction
• Good collaborative features to encourage adoption and management of end-to-end process on Basecamp

• All communication is literally on one page, so you don't have to learn its navigation. Cuts the learning curve.
• User interface is very simple. WYSIWYG.
• The mobile app works well and I like how it syncs with the desktop version.
• Just discovered the Dropbox sync. Very cool. Works way better than Dropbox at sharing files!

• 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.

• It can feel hard at times to get a real big picture view of all the projects and pages happening at the same time. It is easy to drill down or zoom out on specific pages, but it doesn't feel like you're getting a sense of overview or moving pieces for multiple pages.
• There is really no way to have subtasks within larger tasks, and that is sorely missing.
• It can be quite difficult to get team members up and running - there is a bit of a learning curve and it's not extremely intuitive.

• 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.
