Basecamp: Streamlining Workflows Across Tools
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?
It's API strong, and it is capable of supporting various linking mechanisms for additional products, which help the product designers to support Basecamp links with various other applications to support a comprehensive work flow.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The visual presentation of the software is very simple, yet it offers all the tools needed to support team members with different technical skills. The possibilities to instantly generate and prioritize the lists of tasks, to share files, and to be in touch in the framework of certain works contribute to the increased efficiency.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Although Basecamp excels in numerous areas, its time-tracking capabilities are somewhat limited. For designers who have to very closely measure the amount of time spent on a certain type of work or certain project, these current features may not be very informative.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I can now promptly share design files and gather feedback, as well as track the number of revisions, without keeping on going to other programs. Specifically, what has been highly beneficial is the integration Basecamp has with Google Calendar. The ability to create and assign tasks directly from emails (through integrations with Gmail or Outlook) has also been a major time saver, allowing me to manage my workload more efficiently.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
