## Reviews

### "Simplify project management with Basecamp" — 5.0/5

> **Norman** | *July 16, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It takes a less is more approach to features, is very intuitive (which helps when on-boarding new people) and the logic of grouped to-do lists with historical threads and asset uploads cannot be beat. I use it daily and have been for over 15 years.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind. I really enjoy the product and don’t have any complaints. They role out features slowly and clearly so you can adapt.
> 
> I use it to manage all my work and tasks and also encourage clients to use as well. It allows people to catch up quickly if not up to date, keeps everyone honest and efficient and provides a central place for all work-related activity.

### "Basecamp Best Team Doc Storage Program" — 5.0/5

> **Matthew** | *February 4, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Excellent and user-friendly program for having a central location for shared document storage. Better than Google docs because it is not created within a dedicated account, so that when the person who created it leaves, access become problematic. Solved a significant access issue for our multi-disciplinary team.
> 
> **Cons**: No downsides. At first I was slow to use it because it represented yet a whole other new software to get used to, but then when I spent even just a bit of time in it, I realized how extremely easy it is to use
> 
> Very positive. Super interactive with all other major data programs. Can easily link to Google Docs or any other data.

> 
> **Pros**: The notepad option was very handy for our everyday use and it was easy for the whole team to use
> 
> **Cons**: It was good for content management but for project management it was very limited. There was no GANTT option and we could not see project statuses at a glance.
> 
> Overall, not a terrible platform but it had limitations that held our team back
