Redmine is an amazing project management tool and it's FREE!
Our organization currently uses Redmine as a project management tool and to track feature requests, track development and bugs, to make notes on upcoming / newly released software versions, to document changes in our hardware/products, and also for a wiki which allows our employees to search for specific processes or procedures pertaining to specific tasks.
- 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.

Redmine: an integrated project management tool
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.

Low-cost Project Management Solution
Our organization uses Redmine to track employees' work hours and make monthly reports. We have different projects with tasks there that are being created by a project manager. It's pretty simple to track your time and manage tasks, but Redmine is not very user-friendly and may cause different misunderstandings during work. But it is free to use, and that makes it useful for small organizations
- Project management tools
- Work hours control
- Reporting tools
- Free and open-source
- Not very user-friendly
- Contains bugs
- Not easy to use

Redmine: a Project Management System that's easy to acquire, but expensive to set up (but well worth it)
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
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
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

A low-cost, low-barrier project management tool
I have used Redmine in a number of organizations as well as with a number of open-source projects. Redmine is a top-tier project management tool allowing users to track issues and plan releases. I've used Redmine within developer organizations, support organizations, and as a general purpose project management tool. Redmine is a free, open-source tool that can be rapidly deployed and requires little day-to-day support to keep it running.
- 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 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.

Free best management solution from 2000s
We've been using Redmine for at least 6 years as main project management solution in our company. As a free solution, it's a good task and time management system which allows you to be on the same page across the whole organization. Gantt charts and calendar are very useful. Notifications help you focus on the right things.
- Easy to deploy
- It's free
- It's open-source
- Highly customizable - it has plenty of plugins which can be integrated into the system
- Integrated WIKI is very helpful
- The UI is a little outdated
- Sprint wise planning cant be done easily
Redmine is a fantastic tool. In our organization it began to serve as a tracking tool for the development bugs we had in different applications that we are doing, but the interesting thing was that little by little we realized that 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. We use an integration with Git by means of ssh, integration with Malyn Task Incubator for Eclipse and thus are able to have integration be continuous, since we integrate with Maven, Nexus, Jenkins, and SonarLint, and we are able to have a very optimal development in applications developed under Java in this case. Besides that the quality team can assign tasks to the corresponding department. It is one of the most complete tools that I have used. It also has the option of documenting since it has a built-in wiki, which makes it possible to have everything documented to perfection. Besides being developed in Ruby, it allows you to download the source code and customize your Redmine for your company.
- Integration with several third-party tools
- It has internal Wiki to document step by step what you want
- Customizable from the source code
- Connection via SSH
- The interface is not very eye-catching, graphical view and user experience could use improvement
- It takes training for like a month, since it has many tools and is difficult at first sight
- Very little documentation on the internet
