Basic lightweight project management and issue tracking tool for non-agile projects

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our small web development team uses Redmine for project management and issue tracking for various small-medium projects.
Pros and Cons
  • 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  • The design and user-interface are a little outdated.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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • Redmine was a great improvement over using email and shared spreadsheets to manage bug/issue tracking for our software projects. It made it easy for anyone to look up the status of various issues and track the project's progress.
  • It's been a critical tool for team collaboration and issue tracking on a project with remotely located team members.
Alternatives Considered
As we've moved to using agile-based methodologies, we've started using JIRA more, which is better suited for agile development. JIRA looks and feels like a more modern web application and has greater flexibility and more features. I used Basecamp a long time ago for some small personal projects. As such, my experience isn't directly comparable, but as I recall it had fairly similar features.
Support Rating
5
As far as I know, the only support available is community support or support by your hosting provider if you use a hosted version. So support options may be fairly limited if you have a difficult issue or need personalized assistance. But on the other hand, I don't think I've ever needed support for Redmine so that's a bonus.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
Redmine is a perfect solution for businesses that are looking for a FREE and open source solution for project management. It is great for teams that are managing numerous tasks or projects at one time. Redmine is easy to set up and is fairly self-explanatory for anyone who is semi tech-savvy.

  • Redmine saves us a LOT of time by making it super easy to track many projects at one time.
  • Redmine saves us money because it is FREE!
  • Redmine has made it easier for us to track issues, bugs, and feature requests from customers - which ultimately allows us to see what is most important to our clients and what they'd like to see next in our products.
Alternatives Considered
Redmine is much for granular than Trello. The detail and record tracking in Redmine can't really be compared to that in Trello. While they can both track things and there is a record of changes... Redmine is more detailed and more geared toward long term projects where Trello is great for short terms notes and tasks.
Support Rating
9
Redmine is free, easy to use and it's everything you could want in a free project management program. The fact that it has wiki integration and that it can track on such a granular level is amazing. Assigning tasks to other users, such as our development team, is fantastic and ensures we are always up-to-date on where we are what - on what projects.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • It requires some effort for configuration and training, but it's very useful after some short period.
  • Redmine does need a lot of data entry, but it's fairly easy to do.
Alternatives Considered
Redmine has a lot of the same functionality but is much easier to use. The project tends to have functions that only the most advanced PM would even look at. JIRA is easier to deploy in a cloud/managed environment: it also has better "apps" support. However, Redmine benefits from maturity, as well as a large base of experts who manage Redmine on a constant basis. Additionally, Redmine is fairly "easy" to set up: as long as you have an appreciable background in Linux/Unix, you can deploy Redmine in a weekend (vanilla, no configurations).
Support Rating
7
The wiki tutorial is very good and detailed, so one only needs to follow the steps described there in order to avoid any hassle. I never need to request any support from the team or search much online about the solutions for some issues, because the experience with Redmine was always very easy.

Redmine is a great product to have in an organization. It's extremely flexible, costs much less to maintain than other alternatives, and as a tool, it is relatively fast to get experienced with. The primary advantages of working with Redmine are: flexible platform, API, open-source and highly configurable, stability.
