Basic lightweight project management and issue tracking tool for non-agile projects
- 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- The design and user-interface are a little outdated.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.

- 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.

Redmine: a Project Management System that's easy to acquire, but expensive to set up (but well worth it)
The primary issues that Redmine addresses are: flexible platform, API, open source and highly configurable, stability
- 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
- Features for project management
- Control of time spent
- Control of activities and tasks
- Delegation of activities and tasks
- User management
- Easy maintenance
- Integration with third-party tools
- Free and open-source
- Personalized reports

A low-cost, low-barrier project management tool
- 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 perfect for monitoring projects and resources
- 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.
