Many features missing, many features need external plugins which would be hard to keep track of/etc.
No custom task status, tasks can't be moved between projects or task lists.
Gives a pretty complete overview, but nothing that shows 'at a glance' how the project is doing in terms of any timeline/etc.
Can make templates from an existing project, or from scratch
Thank you Adelle...Proofhub ( proofhub.com) is actually really good, not only for timesheets but for complete project management.
Nodoubt, Basecamp is good but it lacks important features like time tracking, private messages and integration with google. Have you tried proofhub? Features like time tracking, casper (hidden) mode, to-do's, discussions make it awesome. So, you don't miss anything.
Asana is fantastic tool. But we will wait while they add time tracking in asana. For now we use excellent time tracking system in ProofHub (proofhub.com), its project management abilities are a bit simpler than in asana, but time tracking functionality is really good.
