Collaborating during remote work is made easy by Basecamp.

It allows us to discuss our projects, gain visibility on their performance and track the entire projects from start to the end.
Pros:
Basecamp offers a very useful group chatting function that allows us to chat in real-time irrespective of our geographical locations. This helps us to have very productive discussions especially during remote work which sees us have the same and even better results as it would be the case in on-site work. It provides us with a shared dashboard that keep us on the know about how our work is to be done, the work already done and the scheduled work. Sharing files and other documents is easy and so secure.

One thing that's really nice about Basecamp is that the monthly price is the same no matter how many usersthe account will need. This means it's much more affordable especially for larger teams or companies. There's also a version of Basecamp that can be used for free, incase you'd like to try it out first.Setting up Basecamp was almost effortless. The Ul is so intuitive and helpful. Integrating Basecamp with other services is supported and may be done quickly without a complicated setup. Guest accounts are available and they add flexibility. Basecamp keeps all team members updated on events, deadlines, announcements, approvals, etc. Teams can manage projects, tasks, and ideas in one platform.It's looking to be the best collaboration app I've had.
Cons:
I'm disappointed to see that time tracking and Gantt charts were not included, however I still think we're thriving with Basecamp. I'd also like to be able to leave our team communication app behind and only use Basecamp.
