The team I work on has used Basecamp for years and recently tested out many of the competitors listed in this article. We were unenthused with all of them and found them to be missing features that we need and that I would consider basic to any project management system, one example being project templates. Others had weird notification systems with no ability to customize or fix what was bothering us about them, weird and terrible UI issues, etc. So while I am not an enthusiastic Basecamp user, we are still using it. This is not to say that the competing products were "bad", but they at least weren't right for us. I am also unclear how Basecamp is considered a "failure"? Because it's growth has slowed as supposedly proven by the fact that they have removed their weekly signup figure from their homepage and because of stats gleaned from app downloads? I don't buy it. If Basecamp is a failure hopefully I will have created a product one day that is a similar failure!
