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 →

"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else.""We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources.""The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution.""It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models.""The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI.""There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

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

More Basecamp Cons →

"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations.""The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool.""More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration.""They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning.""The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive.""The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."
