The experience of collaborating using Basecamp has been a journey full of success stories. We happy for the position that Basecamp has put us on matters project collaboration. It eliminates the communication barrier and offer a reliable communication options which allows teammates to always be on the same page even if they are not in the same location.

Pros

Working on projects can be a hassle especially if some teammates are working remotely, but Basecamp comes to do away with all these hassles by providing a perfect link up through a virtual workspace where everyone gets to meet, share information and collaboratively work on projects. We are a beneficiary to this and thanks to Basecamp, we are able to execute our remote projects just effectively. Communication is always made easy by the instant messaging and meeting tools which are easily accessible and simple to use.

Cons

There is nothing that i like least mainly because all the aspects of Basecamp have been performing greatly.

For the fact that it's an app on a major app store, I would have obviously come across it, for the fact that it was something of some form of various thing that I would come across in categorical and ad hoc searching, as it turns out.

Aside from not understanding what the purpose of the software was, based on the description that was included in all of the versions in the App Store, I found it particularly disparaging to the community that they framed the purpose of the app as an occupation and dump in of trucks and trailers, and tons of people from out of town, on any given day, whereas the trailers were there in supposition that they were showers that were provided to the homeless, on one day.

On one hand, they're not there every day, but on the other hand, it was a bit strange that this ended up being what the app is about.

Pros

In essence, I suppose that this app seems a bit in opposition to the browsing app store user coming across it and then, at some point, upon trying to understand what the portent of the impact of the software is, fairly soon turns up browsing through more apps, wondering what this app is about; particularly to have 3 release versions of it, at this point in time.

Regardless, it turned in to a yellow sign "base camp" social work news article publication thing for the sake of publicizing push material of support for what ended up being a seething attrition for the locals of the area where the "base camp" installment of "obviously, it's on account of the app in the app store thing," and on top of that, there was significant opposition to me as a mental health client recipient of services (supposedly), just tangentially, and for a few times, perhaps, of this art therapy group of people, and then they talked and acted out towards me in my head, outside of any sort of professional or service provider and client circumstances.

Cons

I feel like the spirit of development in software, for the purpose of disparaging the client, of a completely different and separate supposition of relation, whatsoever, in regards to the original purpose of meeting with these developers, is simply wrong and unprofessional. These developers cause a significant problem in a different locality between people who are not housed in downtown Los Angeles, on the incident that happened witnessed, and whatever the story was in my head about what anyone might think about such an influx of people in to the area, which is all too common, in various ways;

On top of that, they're plotted right at 222 S. Hill St. 7th floor, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, and they do events of disparagement against me and my family commonly, while trying to suppose that their self esteem is supported and is superior, while homeless and mentally ill bullying and stalking victims are inferior, on account of group brute strength over an individual. They run ostensibly false and slight charity drives for supposedly unfortunate other people.

Basecamp usage from a freelancer's perspective

Reviewed on 10/09/2023

Excellent. Would highly recommend it to other freelancers like myself.

Excellent. Would highly recommend it to other freelancers like myself.

Pros

It had a simple UI which was easy to use and always on point. It did not have any fluff and it did not require me to spend an additional 5 minutes to interpret each page. It was also easier for my clients from smaller towns (who were not as tech friendly) to adopt to.

Cons

The page would look cluttered at times when it had too many tasks and schedules put together. For someone like me who puts a high priority on UI, this was not very appealing. Incorporating grids/tabular format could have made it appear more organized.

In remote work environments, tracking and managing tasks and team progress can be a daunting challenge. Basecamp has proven to be a lifesaver, enabling seamless task allocation, monitoring, and fostering internal communication to drive productivity. We highly recommend Basecamp, especially for companies handling multiple projects and resources.

Pros

Basecamp has greatly streamlined our team's workflow by allowing managers and peers to allocate projects and tasks efficiently. Its threaded communication system makes collaboration a breeze. Sambulo Health Care Solutions has harnessed Basecamp's capabilities as a project management and collaboration tool, simplifying our work lives. The added benefit of a mobile app enhances accessibility when away from the office.

Cons

Notably, Basecamp lacks video conferencing capabilities, which have become crucial for remote work setups. Beyond this, we have experienced no significant issues with Basecamp.
