Redmine

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The design and user-interface are a little outdated.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.

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.

Easy to upgrade and or change to your own particular use-cases.

Straightforward set-up and easy to create custom fields and workflows.

Communication between multiple teams.

Track multiple sprints through their chart views.

Keep a historical record of changes done to instances.

More flexibility for when fields are mandatory by type of user.

Create drag and drop updates in the list views for easy re-ordering of to-do-lists.

More ready-made analytics on time spent.

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.

Very little documentation on the internet
