Overall Satisfaction with Redmine

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.
  • Redmine has made it more efficient to monitor who is working on what and how much time they have available.
  • Redmine has helped our consultants stay within budget
  • Redmine does need a lot of data entry, but it's fairly easy to do.
Redmine has a lot of the same functionality, but is much easier to use. Project tends to have functions that only the most advanced PM would even look at.
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.
