Great Project Management software for Agencies The most I love about Basecamp is that you can set up custom access settings for clients making it one of the most valuable project management tools for agencies out there. However, It lacks some essential features that other commonly known PM tools have, i.e. statuses for tasks or task lists.

Fan since 2006 I've been a fan of their apps, and their books like 'Rework', since about 2006

Fan since version 1 I’ve been using Basecamp since version 1 and I always loved it. Sure, there are some features that I’m missing sometimes. But every time I try out other project management software, I am overloaded by dozens of features I don’t need. So I guess it’s nicer to miss one or two big features than having way too many. The biggest advantage over their competition is the communication with your clients. No other software has this nailed down quite as Basecamp. Comparing Basecamp to its competition, for me, is like comparing Mac OS to Windows. One feels like it’s designed by an actual designer who has the end user in mind, the other feels like you had some engineers hack together every possible feature and later on get a few designers put everything together, without them talking to each other. There is only one thing that bites me every month: the price. Sure it’s worth it, but I know that it was less expensive in the beginning. And that bothers me, because as I said I’ve been using Basecamp since version 1, but at some point I had to create a new account and so I lost the lower price. That makes me sad every month.

Affordable and reliable Affordable and reliable. Agree with the direction of the company and products.

Basecamp 4.7.5 losing data I am using basecamp 4.7.5 and I am really starting to hate basecamp. The database seems to get corrupted often and I lose data. I do regular backups (almost every time I make a set of changes). Recently I started Basecamp and it said the List file was corrupted (again). I restored a previous Backup and found that was also corrupted and so had to go back to the backup before then. So I lost all the data from my last trip. Sigh!
