Decent software. Could be better.
Comments: Basecamp works well and is a decent project management tool. If you have no used other project management tools than you will find it very helpful. However, if you have used software like Asana or Mondays, you quickly realize the limitations of Basecamp.
Pros:
Basecamp has single page projects that are relatively simple to use. The to-do lists are easy to use as well. Basecamp can also handle large file transfers.
Cons:
Basecamp isn’t the most user friendly software available. It’s quirky and somewhat difficult to figure out what to do if you aren’t familiar with the software.
Better suited to larger projects but still useful for smaller teams
Comments: Used for mostly small projects, feels like overkill for anything with minimal moving parts, so other tools such as trello might be more suitable for those, but more than does the job and can be a good push to use some of the more in depth functionality to improve efficiency / comms / files/todos etc
Pros:
Extensive suite of features, can manage large projects easily and across larger teams, and with several complex moving parts. Good file storage, threads, to dos, can do a lot with it
Cons:
Can be overly complex/overkill for smaller projects. Needs a bit of tweaking to get it to match your requirements re: communications cadence, use of features, and mild training with internal/external team

Basecamp also has amazing reporting functions that offer all the project insights we need to access our performances during projects.

Basecamp has never given us any troubles and there really lacks anything that does not suit our needs perfectly.
