    Redmine is a perfect solution for businesses that are looking for a FREE and open source solution for project management. It is great for teams that are managing numerous tasks or projects at one time. Redmine is easy to set up and is fairly self-explanatory for anyone who is semi tech-savvy.

    Service AutoPilot is a fantastic system for client service tracking and scheduling. While there are a few features and details I would personally like to see changed or added, the ultimate purpose of the system is well executed, fairly simple to use, and easy to understand. My recommendation would be to add more specific details such as canceled or closed clients and closed/canceled service history on active clients to remain permanently.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • The design and user-interface are a little outdated. It looks like a product that was designed ten years ago and doesn't have a polished look and feel like newer apps have.
    • It's not particularly designed to support agile-based project management methodologies such as Scrum.

    • when closing/canceling a service completely from a clients account it would be nice to still have the history to see what they had done in the past incase they change their mind later and wish to continue the service
    • cancel/closed client historys would also be nice as if someone sold their home, it would be nice to be able to see what was done on that property prior to inform new owners, etc.

    Redmine is a great product to have in an organization. It's extremely flexible, costs much less to maintain than other alternatives, and as a tool, it is relatively fast to get experienced with. The primary advantages of working with Redmine are: flexible platform, API, open-source and highly configurable, stability.

    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.

    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 management and task tracking solution with its essential features and functionalities.

    • Customers receive updates on all progress made for their issues -- this results in an informed customer who is being given transparency on all steps of our process.
    • Customers have responded well from being able to not have to track down emails and instead come to a central place for requests.
