Overall Satisfaction with Redmine

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

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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 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.
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.
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.
