I have used basecamp and proofhub. Both are best among the competitors. But every project management software has limitation. You can even use Google Doc..that is also very helful

It’s hard to beat Basecamp for a central project hub. As others have mentioned, you may want to sprinkle in another service or two - to fill in the gaps. (E.g., someone mentioned Flow which seems like a great extra.)

Another vote for Basecamp (small team use), although I know some people have a love-hate relationship with it.

It’ll be interesting to see what they do with the new version when it’s released - http://37signals.com/basecampnext/

Hi,

I suggest proofhub, currently i am using it and i am very happy with its features and functionality. With this tool you can easily track the record of the amount of time your team members spend on a particular project. It has an inbuilt time tracking tool, file management system, comment section and many more, where you can make your own time sheets and track the time you spend on every individual project, clients can post their comments also, and you can manage number of projects easily.

I use Basecamp and while I think it’s useful for somethings, I don’t think I’d use it to manage a big team. It definitely has its upsides but software development projects are not really what I think it excels at.

I will also switched from Basecamp to Apollo HQ .

Hmm. Is no one using Asana or NationalField?

Asana

NationalField

I see no one has mentioned Clarizen yet.
Clarizen project management software does everything you need -
It breaks down a big project into milestones, and you decide who is responsible for what. As people get their tasks done, the program tells you what is urgent, what can wait and what is done.
You can share specific projects with your clients so that they can either only see the progress or actively participate in the program.
And it allows you to upload files that everyone can then see.
I think Clarizen fits all of your criteria - so it is worth having a look at their site and taking the tour.

We’ve now moved from Basecamp to Apollo HQ (thanks for the tip Steven!) as we fell it offers good value for money and allows us to consolidate our previous setup that was a mixture of Basecamp, Highrise, and Daylite into one single service/browser tab. It’s quite slick too.

Hmm I’ll definitely take a look into Apollo HQ - it certainly looks better than BaseCamp.

Hi,

we are also on BaseCamp-Highrise as central tool, plus ZenDesk ... then in the final FreshBooks.

These are my Big3 combination to manage all aspects for our design-dev-marketing projects.

Another vote for BaseCamp / Highrise.

We manage all leads/prospects in Highrise, then if/when it becomes a real project it gets pushed into Basecamp.

We normally allow our clients access to, nothing like assigning *them* tasks to-do to speed up a project 😊

Hello..
There are many software available which help in managing the work more efficiently and keep the update of it. I have a client management software and it keeps all the record of my work and also with the help of it, my business has been raised. I used Maximizer software.

i went through many of these systems and none really fitted. |So i rolled my own in it most basic form using CI - and its great for me. Not usable for any other business, but suits mine. It even runs through to the billing and does my tax return figures… so don;t exclude that option.

This is the most interesting answer so far 😊

There are many ways to manager our web projects. As developers, I was surprised to only seen one reply regarding a custom solution.
I wonder how many others built their own either with EE, CI, or something else.

I’m actually working on my own system now. I used Basecamp for some time, but needed other features, and did not use some of the existing features. I also did not use it enough to justify a monthly subscription expense. So I’m building my own, and using it for one of my clients too.
