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!

Dated software In a few years there was not a lot of changes in the product but marketing was getting better every year. I was waiting to provide more updates inside product instead of only driving more customers to it. Generally simple in usage but with all the alternatives is a bit dated software.

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.

The marketing was better than the product… Thought the marketing was better than the product itself, seems it hasn't changed much over the years, getting left behind now.

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