  • Basic, lightweight project management tool with issue tracking, wiki, Gantt charts, calendars, and document/file storage, etc.
  • Flexible hosting options. You can host it yourself on your own web server for free or pay to have it hosted as a software-as-a-service.
  • The design and user-interface are a little outdated.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.

  • Because Redmine is open source, it can be customized to fit your businesses needs.
  • Redmine is great at project management tool. It is super easy to assign tasks to people and to track the progress of that task or project.
  • Redmine is one of the few free programs that offer an integrated Wiki and they do that very well.
  • While it has greatly improved over the years, Redmine's interface could be brought up-to-date and/or modernized.
  • I'd like to see the option to create a Wiki that is not required to be linked to a project.
  • I think adding a chat feature from within the interface would also be helpful. Allowing your team to chat and brainstorm on specific projects while working on different projects or tasks.

  • FAST! - Redmine is responsive, and works much faster than its alternatives
  • A very complete Project Management / Team Collaboration system
  • utilizes SQLLite3 for its backend, making it rock-solid
  • Not doing anything new in the PM space: while it is a complete system, it lacks any new contributions to PM
  • Memory hog--will often consume more memory than should really be needed
  • Lacks a real, meaningful KPI dashboard

  • Issue Tracker - Redmine allows in-depth issue tracking complete with workflows and customization.
  • Release Tracker - Redmine allows releases to be tracked by milestones, collecting relevant issues in each milestone.
  • Agile Management - With a few free or low-cost add-ons, Redmine becomes a great tool for Agile project management
  • Redmine's interface design needs a bit of upgrading. It's nowhere near a modern, polished interface. Unfortunately, this severely limits user acceptance and willingness to use the application.
  • Workflow management is primitive, at best. When compared to the workflow management support that a tool such as JIRA has, Redmine's workflow management is very out of date.

  • Redmine is particularly useful for seeing projects - their estimates, time worked and time remaining.
  • Redmine is an easy place for employees to log time against projects. This provides exports for payroll and for invoicing.
  • Redmine allows everyone to see all projects and tasks - no assigning to certain people.
  • The "more" features (log time, add a sub task, etc.) could be more prominent. This would make it easier for new users.
  • Some of the dashboard features are tough to figure out.
