The hardest part about using any of these products is getting employees to switch over- I have found that if you don't use them from the start, employees will never adapt to them. Any time a startup I worked for decided to use a product similar to the ones on the list, the only employees who used them were the ones who started after the change was implemented.
The problem is that employees get used to a certain workflow (such as email), and it is hard for them to get into a new mindset. If Basecamp or the other products are used from the beginning, it would be all they know.
Basically, when you introduce a product like Basecamp to an organization, employees get frustrated it doesn't conform to their current way of doing things. It needs to be the other way around- users need to conform to the way Basecamp does it (which is hard once employees already have a workflow).
