Overall Satisfaction with Basecamp
My team used Basecamp as a task management tool to track our projects and progress. It was also used to communicate with an external vendor and keep all of our collaboration in one place. With each thread, we can pick and choose who to include and attach documents and links as needed.
- Basecamp has a user friendly interface that's quite straightforward and intuitive
- Basecamp allows organization by "projects" and "discussions" so everything is easy to find if you label things
- Basecamp sends an email for every new post or reply so that you get notified for updates in the platform
- When selecting and uploading files, there isn't an option to drag and drop
- To my knowledge, there isn't an option to include a link as an anchor text. It will be the entire URL that's being displayed if you insert a link
- Basecamp streamlined workflow and made it easier to track project and progress.
- Asana and Atlassian JIRA Align (formerly AgileCraft)
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 with using the product right away.
