Jira is a great project management tool for software product life cycle management for an agile environment based on agile methodologies. Jira is an intuitive and modernized user interface design compared with Redmine but Redmine is a lightweight and affordable project …
Chose Redmine
As we've moved to using agile-based methodologies, we've started using JIRA more, which is better suited for agile development. JIRA looks and feels like a more modern web application and has greater flexibility and more features. I used Basecamp a long time ago for some small …
Chose Redmine
Redmine is much for granular than Trello. The detail and record tracking in Redmine can't really be compared to that in Trello. While they can both track things and there is a record of changes... Redmine is more detailed and more geared toward long term projects where Trello
Chose Redmine
Redmine has a lot of the same functionality but is much easier to use. The project tends to have functions that only the most advanced PM would even look at. JIRA is easier to deploy in a cloud/managed environment: it also has better "apps" support. However, Redmine benefits …
Chose Redmine
Basecamp was very busy and seemed more into the "wow" factor than into being an efficient tool. Redmine has none of the characters or kid-like appearance of Basecamp's model. I found Basecamp to be too cluttered in views and its interactions confusing, making it difficult to …

JIRA is currently the gold standard here, but it has a pretty substantial subscription price based on the number of accounts you need to create. JIRA gets pricey, very quickly.

Chose Redmine
It can beat other services only as free, open source solution. Right now we've moved to JIRA, and Redmine only stays on as an archive and is used by our editor's department.
Chose Redmine
I think that although they are tools for managing equipment and tools for bugs tracking, Redmine has a great advantage since it can be integrated with many third-party tools and that is the only tool of this type with which I have been able to integrate and integrate systems. …

Redmine is free, easy to use and it's everything you could want in a free project management program. The fact that it has wiki integration and that it can track on such a granular level is amazing. Assigning tasks to other users, such as our development team, is fantastic and ensures we are always up-to-date on where we are what - on what projects.
