Basecamp User Reviews
There seems to be little quirks, where we wish the default display of projects is View all (projects) in a list but with the ability to create new projects as with the card-based Home default display. Email or messaging (such as WhatsApp) are not the best project management tools, even if clients seem to prefer such basic platforms. The traceability of projects and progress of projects are difficult with email and worse with messaging apps. With Basecamp, we can use the platform on desktops/laptops as well as mobiles, allowing our team members to work and collaborate anywhere, anytime.
