simple task management software

What differentiates Basecamp from other similar products?

Basecamp and Smartsheet are good at managing tasks, and both help streamline communication between offices. However, the similarities seem to end there. Where Basecamp is simple and clean, Smartsheet is complex. Basecamp is accessible and easy to learn, while Smartsheet requires intelligence, training, and some analytical skills.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Basecamp is based on the fact that it is easy to use, accessible and intuitive. It is project management software in its purest form: easy task tracking features enhanced by email integration and file sharing. Basecamp is designed to reduce the effort and eliminate the hassles of everyday tasks, but it's not just the design that makes this software so easy to use. There are a million little extra touches that promote efficiency, like automatic saving, customizable notifications, and the ability to drag and drop tasks and files.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Basecamp is amazing, it has taken the time to create dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android devices that allow it to function even when you are out of the office.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Basecamp has a limited number of functions, although they are all well designed and very practical.
