It is a great Bug Tracking tool when implemented and set up the correct way initially. If you find yourself in the position of having to go through and re name fields on a project level of having to do an overhaul of the user base you will find some frustrations, these are noted in the last question.

Gemini is well suited to help track issues and change requests, projects, bugs, time logs, etc. It is less appropriate for reporting needs or general office management needs.

Pros
  • Tracking technical issues and assigning for review and completion
  • Tracking final status and quality of an application or website
Read full review
  • Gemini offers flexible framework that allowed IT to build a workflow based process. IT change requests were divided into several buckets: New Change Requests group for business units to submit requests for enhancements and new project ideas, Pending Change Requests for approved projects that are waiting for IT resources, Application Development where we track active projects, Defect Tracking where bugs are tracked during testing and finally Release Management where requests for deployment are tracked.
  • Gemini allows to create custom fields and add them to View, Edit and Add screens. This flexible model allowed us to track additional information on the project such as IT Point of Contact, System Name, Team Name, Testing dates, etc.
  • Gemini has flexible email notification model that allows to keep business customers informed on the project progress. Whenever comment is added by project manager email alerts goes out anyone that is set to watch project progress.

Cons
  • If you edit a field you have created (Username, status, custom fields) you lose the ability to sort/filter on this field.
  • It would be nice to add more custom fields on a project specific level. Currently you can only add 3
  • It would be FANTASTIC if you could sort/filter on Project Specific custom fields.

  • It would be useful for Gemini to offer a mobile-friendly version.
  • It would be helpful for Gemini to provide more granular control over email notification options. Currently, we cannot turn off update type emails
  • Gemini could improve homepage design to provide a dashboard for all projects in the system.
