Redmine Software

Pros

easy simple to use pm software for quick views and small projects

Cons

the more complex the project the more redmine shows it's limits, For small projects works great

I use it every day for 4 months.

Pros

It's free and open source. In a transparent way we can control the project together with people from outside (eg our customers)

Cons

Ugly and hard in use interface. Sometimes I have to refresh the changes several times, to make sure they have been saved.

Redmine can be customised with themes, to suit it to your needs as a project management tool, built specifically with software/web development in mind. We've managed many complex builds using the tool.

Pros

Lots of features for managing software development with a team.

Cons

The interface can sometimes be a little clunky, and the WYSIWIG editor isn't always the easiest to use - but it does the job!

We installed Redmine on our own servers and customized it a bit to meet our needs. The fact that it is so customizable is great (we were able to have the perfect tool). The fact that it needed to be customized wasn't so great (we spent time building a tool instead of other things). Overall, I think this is a tool that has so much potential, and if you can afford to spend a little bit of time customizing it, there's nothing it can't do.

Pros

It's written in Ruby and is highly customizable.

Cons

It was missing some of the core features I was looking for in this type of tool, and I had to develop them myself.

I used it but it wasn't my choice. I worked in a team that used it to report bugs in an app. It worked but now I strain from the product.

Pros

Simplicity of using was first thing I noticed about the software.

Cons

The design, user interface unfriendly, ugly looking.

Quite disappointing.

Pros

At long term the app helped me and my team to document key aspects of our project.

Cons

Non intuitive indexing of pages, hard to display images inside wikis.

You do not have to be a tech savvy in order to use this application, just let your IT admin to set it up in your computer, then it's all good. All you have to know is what kind of ticket you are going to create and what are its details.

Pros

1. Easy to customize, you can create and select different trackers for your ticket
2. Custom fields allows you to display what are the necessary inputs needed for your ticket.
3. Able to create your own template
4. Create your filter that can be visible to others if you want to.
5. Easy viewing of the ticket status through Roadmap, Agile, or Backlogs (from old version) and etc.,

Cons

I don't have any cons about using Redmine, it reached my satisfaction. It sends you mail for every changes in the ticket, and that makes me on track.

Pros

The ease of tracking issues by Redmine in an Agile based system has been made quite easy. It helps you maintain, store your code as well with help of Kallithia. Helps you maintain project related documents as Wiki pages as well.

Cons

The UI is a little outdated. In need of a serious make over in terms of look.

Pros

Very flexible, with modules that can enable almost any use case.
Large developer community that can add features by placing a bounty.
Base product has most features needed.
Can be hosted or self hosted

Cons

Needs experienced person to set up.
Takes a bit of time to learn the work flow to add issues/features/bugs

Redmine. Because you get what you pay for.

Pros

The fact that Redmine is opensource is pretty cool especially for new startup businesses that are looking to keep expenses minimal.

Cons

The program itself is bushleague. Really cannot use it for true project management. And while it seems to be an acceptable data / issue management repository, there are many much better applications available.

Pros

It has a lot of functionality. You can do as far as I know anything you could do with Jira. It's much better in functionality wise than Trello.

Cons

The only problem that it can't survive in a world where UI really matters. Where we need to have nice UI and UX in order to keep the user engaged. Redmine is really lackin on that side.

Simplicity of use and quick installation/configuration are the main benefits I had using Redmine

Pros

I used Redmine for a couple of years since 2009. It has been the perfect tool at that time. Easy to use, show the important information at a glance, and integrates a repository browser. Its installation and configuration can be done very quickly with almost no knowledge which is a big plus. If you are looking for a simple and easy to use issue tracking software for small projects, Redmine may be for you.

Cons

The user interface hasn't really change in the past years and feels a bit old compared to some other software like Jira. The same drawback applies to the features. It would have been nice to see a full support of Git repository for example with a search feature.

Pros

I like that you can see what is every employee doing everyday with it's time even how many hours they dedicate to each task

Cons

I do not like that the interface is like a 90's program it could be updated to make the look and feel more likable

Pros

I use ths software in my work to register how many hours i work a week and it allows to add projects, and additional information what i love the most is that you can use your previous week work as a template and you don't need to repeat everything again

Cons

Sometimes i lost the hours i registered before saving but is not something that bothers me a lot and other than that it is just fine

Single application to manage projects/ bugs and gain visibility of the work load across all engagements. Integrated wiki allows for creating knowledge base and support information

Pros

Redmine is dead simple to setup (esp. if you get the Bitnami distribution) and use. The application is customizable - custom fields/ custom workflows. It can be easily extended with third party plugins. You can even find free mobile application to see/ manage work items on your phone

We managed multiple client implementation and software product development of an Enterprise SaaS application using this.

Cons

While this is not squarely a Redmine issue, it an issue of the underlying stack and has affected us a few times - plugin/ dependency incompatibility. Redmine runs on Ruby and the Ruby plugin architecture issues affect it. So, test the plugin install on a separate instance before you put it on your main instance

Pros

I like how it is so easy to use, you can start from zero to RedMine in just 30 minutes or so. Creating issues and putting up all the details is easy and intuitive. It also allows file attachments.

Cons

At first, it might be hard to setup on server machines due to some pre-requisites Windows users are not familiar of. But aside from that, there is nothing bad about this software.

Maintaining the sub projects under main projects we are able to track our bugs separately without mixing up.

Pros

1. It's free & open source.
2. Can create multiple main projects & subprojects.
3. Can track the changes & authors of the changes.
4. Manage project versions.
5. Easy to use & understand the system.

Cons

1. The UI of the system is a bit of outdated.
2. Search panel can be a little bit confused for fresh users.

For what it's made for, it does a really good job.

Pros

If you're a small team just starting out, Redmine is a great way to get from a request to doing work. Redmine is simple and straightforward. The learning curve is shallow so you can be up and running in no time whatsoever. For a small team you have just what you need, and not a bunch of stuff you don't.

Cons

While not really a con, be aware that it's for small teams. It runs on Ruby...sorry Ruby, but I hate you.

project management and control

Pros

redmine is an online project manager, very good for project management, task management, among others, integrates very well with windows active directory, for the management of users, also allows you to manage statistics of tasks performed by half of graphics, pictures and more

Cons

the free version of redmine is simple, both processes and graphical interface, the truth I do not like its graphical interface, I think it is very simple, but I guess the business version if it is more friendly

Pros

Has all the great features required for project management. Easy to implement, also easy to customise. And it is open source.

Cons

The user interface a little bit outdated, compare to todays project management software, but the functionality runs well.
