Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease of use is valuable.""The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."

More Basecamp Pros →

"The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency.""I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures.""It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases.""We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared.""The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge.""The product is easy to use.""QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support.""Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."

Cons
"The solution could be more user-friendly.""The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."

More Basecamp Cons →

"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work.""There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness.""Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility.""They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider.""I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate.""The dashboard is not organized.""Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
