Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Redmine is free, so is perfectly suited for small developing companies to manage projects and employees' work hours. It's online and easy to start, and also can be used with every device. But it is a little laggy and complex, so if the company can afford something better, it might be a better fit.
