Great Platform for Collaboration Between Businesses

Our company mostly used Basecamp in conjunction with our larger partner. We are a non-profit rehabilitation and rehoming facility for horses and worked with a large racetrack program which used Basecamp and we briefly also paid to use Basecamp ourselves. When the larger partner had horses that we would work together on (a shared case or project so to speak), they would create a shared project for that case.

It made document and progress sharing incredibly easy. Users from their end and ours could both contribute, chat, and easily find files or request them from each other as needed. It streamlined the process greatly from the days of scanning and emailing documents or trying to send physical documents via courier or mail.

Pros

Basecamp is a great service if you're managing a lot of files and sharing them with a large team or even other business partners. It makes sharing files and tracking project progress easy.

Cons

It was a bit more complex than our small business/non-profit needed, so we didn't feel like we were using enough of the features to justify the (pretty reasonable) cost.

Good beginner project management

Overall, not a terrible platform but it had limitations that held our team back

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.

Collaboration with Basecamp is simple

The layout is simple, and I like that all the discussions, files, and tasks related to a project are all in one place. As a result, we have improved our collaboration and clarity, while we do have some issues with file structure occasionally. Basecamp had simple, focused team collaboration, and I picked it for that reason. Having the ability to bounce off design inspiration or spend time brainstorming ideas in the same space means no more scattered communication on emails or multiple platforms needed. The resultant streamlined approach paves the path to creativity and tanks the design process multiple times.

Pros

What sets Basecamp apart is that it has a central communication hub along with tasks and lists to keep everything organized in one location. The automatic check-in feature on the platform helps team members frequently share updates on their progress, allowing for seamless communication and holding everyone in one piece throughout the design process.

Cons

Basecamp itself is a useful app, but their file management system could be better since there is no sorting and tagging as advanced as in CI or GitLab. It would also be extremely helpful to further customize the notification system so that users could more specifically tailor alerts based on urgency or relevance to reduce notification fatigue.
