Redmine is a project management and task tracking tool used by the external vendor that my company has made a partnership with it. I mainly used Redmine to review the project progress and the issues from the client raised to the third party software vendor and liaised between our partner and the customer for the issue escalation, first level technical support, follow-up for the second and third level support from the partner vendor and finally informed back to the end-user customer.
  • Redmine is features rich for the task tracking requirements.
  • Easy manageable for the project progress and over project management.
  • Can be used like Support portal for the issue raising and ticket system.
  • Improve user-interface for better user experience.
  • Enable notifying the originator if the ticket or issue has been followed up for completion.
  • Mobile Application support in the future.
Redmine is suited for the lightweight non-agile project management solution where the overall progress of the project can be tracked and analyzed. Easy to use with the flexible hosting options available at an owned hosting or hosted as software-as-a-service. The user interface is quite simple and a bit outdated for better user experience enablement. The features of the agile project approach such as Scrum should be considered as an enhancement.

Our small web development team uses Redmine for project management and issue tracking for various small-medium 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  • The design and user-interface are a little outdated.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.
  • It's not particularly designed to support agile-based project management methodologies such as Scrum.
It's good for a small team that only needs very basic project management and/or issue tracking features. If you're using agile-based project management practices such as Scrum you might want to look for other solutions or look into Redmine plugins that add agile features.

It is being used in our group for project management including git repositories, files, documentation, etc. It is very suitable for our projects because one can have everything integrated into the same platform and we can work as a team with distinct levels of access for the different members in different projects.
  • It includes an internal Wiki to explain step by step how to do what we need.
  • A very complete project management and team collaboration platform.
  • Allows everyone to see all projects and tasks - no assigning to certain people.
  • Some of the dashboard features are tough to figure out.
  • Lacks an overview project main indicators dashboard.
  • It takes some training time to become an expert on using it.
It is a tool that does not is only for this use but with its great power of integration with other tools, we realized that in one solution we could cover many solutions. For instance, it is very well suited for git integration. Besides that, the quality team can assign tasks to the corresponding department. Maybe it is not very appropriate for very large and complex projects, where deeper monitoring of human resources, task deliverables, and deadlines is necessary.

Redmine is a great product to have in an organization: It's extremely flexible, costs much less to maintain than Remedy, and is a far faster experience than other products on the market (i.e. Remedy, ServiceNow)

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
Redmine is a great tool to tie teams together in small departments (note: different than small projects). It is an open source project, and it WILL require some learning curve to get it set up properly, and being able to configure it will be another, separate project altogether. But, coming from a Remedy environment, where you have an entire company within a company (nearly) to support and develop a Vendor-based product, I find Redmine to be an exciting alternative.

In our company, we use Redmine for IT project management, including activities, tasks, schedules and time spent by each individual on each activity/task. We have a project manager that is responsible for creating the projects and delegating appropriate access. After that, every employee is responsible for checking delegated tasks, inputting the time spent and writing down any relevant notes. When a project is finished, all necessary information is on Redmine so managers can evaluate the development process.
  • 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
  • Better UI and UX
  • Better documents management
Redmine is well suited if you are looking for a low-cost solution that is still robust and reliable. It is able to manage multiple projects and delegate appropriate access to members. It is also easy to use. Redmine can be less appropriate if you are looking for a system with a pretty interface and a good user experience. Although there are some themes available on the internet that can help you achieve that, Redmine does not have good usability.

Redmine is used by the entire organization to manage projects and log time. Redmine provides one source for all resource management. We do have a PM who is in charge of Resource Management and she uses it more than anyone.
  • 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.
In an organization managing multiple projects and having to monitor resource allocation, Redmine works very well. It's very similar to MS Project, but with an easier to use (I think) interface.
