Even if you use another tool, you have Redmine to thank

Kommentare: Our marketing teams felt overwhelmed by the complexity if Jira. We just couldn't make it work. Redmine, however, with a set of agile plugins, allowed us to have a true kanban board and implement really robust scrum workflows using Redmine. It was a tremendous experience and really helps us tackle our weekly tasks.

Vorteile:

Being an open source project, Redmine has driven out the excess costs from project management and issue tracking software. Almost every other enterprise software project has to keep in mind that their customers can always choose a free and highly customizable read mine installation as an alternative, so Redmine makes the entire ecosystem more robust. What I really like the most is the low overhead for the server so that you can run a very large installation for hundreds or thousands of users on a low cost EC2 instance with extremely good performance. Checkout AWS LightSail if you want AWS specifically. If you're on a tight budget and want something implemented quickly, Redmine is the way to go. There are even hosted solutions out there like Plan.io that take away all the technical requirements for you.

Nachteile:

Out of the box, you will need to get a better skin and probably customize a lot of the UI to make it look more visually appealing. The overall design a Redmine feels a little dated now, so you will need to download other themes or probably purchase a paid one to make it feel more modern and usable.

Versatility = Redmine as Bug Tracker/Project Manager

Kommentare: Redmine is my de-facto BTS every company I go. I am very happy with its stability, versatility and easy to use for the end user.

Vorteile:

Redmine is a powerful Bug tracker system with such a flexibility that you can use it as your CMS if you want. There is a ton of plugins to install. You can use Redmine as a CRM, ERP, Payroll, etc... as long as the community around it can imagine a use case, it will exist. There are some paid services which customize Redmine to run as a full ERP, but I have no experience with them.

Nachteile:

The installation process can be a pain for novices: You have to prepare your VM installing Ruby, then Ruby Gems and others gems to make advances functions to work. The source control system interface is good, but hard to install and configure. You will have better luck if you download a Bitnami VM or an AWS Appliance Image. There is a Docker image as wall, but I have no experience with it.

Alternative for JIRA

Kommentare: I was working with Redmine for about a year and a half and I have to admit - it wasn't as good as I would have liked. One of its biggest advantages is the low price of the app (compared to market alternatives). Customer service was good and helpful - each time I had a problem, someone resolved it quite quickly. Also, Redmine has a huge number of features and plugins that can be added and used with it but...
A lot of these plugins are outdated or abandoned. I had a couple of problems with them (usually didn't want to work as expected). Because of that, integration with external apps may be problematic, especially if a user chooses some less-known software. To tell the truth, the number of plug-ins does not come close to the number of plug-ins created for apps of its biggest market competitors. The community gathered around Redmine is not so big compared to other existing management solutions. And the last thing and in my opinion the biggest disadvantage of Redmine - the design. The app feels outdated and clumsy. A lot of elements are not visible or they are blending with nearby elements. It is easy to mistake one project for another, especially if they are named similarly.
To sum up, it is a good solution if you have a rather small company with a small number of projects and don't want to pay much for a Project Management tool. If not, I would choose any of the competitors.

Vorteile:

A number of features. Low price. Customer service.

Nachteile:

Design, design, and one more time design. Average mechanics of the app. Integration with other IT apps. Relatively small community

A Resourceful and Flexible Project Management Tool.

Vorteile:

With Redmine teams can share and manage files and documents effectively.It simple to manage projects and track their progress in real-time.Again,it is simple to track time spent on projects using Redmine.

Nachteile:

I haven't experienced any downsides with Redmine so far.

Flexible Project Management

Kommentare: We're customized Redmine to support several aspects of our IT business. Its made it easy to departmentalize things such as Change Requests, Active Directory Request and General Ticket. We've even integrated it into a Self Serve IT tool we recently launched. Its branched several moved pieces together.

Vorteile:

Redmine supports countless user created plugins. This provides a lot of potential for how Redmine can be used. In our case, we customized Redmine to function as an inexpensive IT Change Management / Ticketing Tool.

Nachteile:

Slight learning curve at first. But Redmine has a lot of forums available, so any challenge you face or feature you may struggle with surely has a forum post about it. I always found the solution to my problem before long.

It's good but old

Kommentare: Some years ago, maybe this software was great, not it's a bit old and hard to use compared to the compoetence

Vorteile:

You can manage a lot of projets It's GNU/GPL (open source) Capacity to track versions A lot of customizations for all tickets

Nachteile:

Nowadays the design is a bit obsolete A bit slow on big projects Hard to manage tickets (filter is old school components)

Use Redmine for yours daily tasks

Kommentare: We use Redmine to record everyday task tasks. We would like more resources for project management and agile methodologies. This is generally a good tool, but it depends on your goals.

Vorteile:

Redmine is a great tool for daily tasks. It is opensource and has several plugins that offer more features. Its API allows for easy integration with other software.

Nachteile:

Project management features are lacking. It is very confusing and the presentation is not good. You need reports too, although new ones can be created using the API. Features for agile methodologies are very important. There is a plugin, but it does not offer a good backlog presentation.

Good Opensource software

Kommentare: Many plugins but sometimes the plugins may contain some security bugs. Be aware of it. Becasue you might have some sensitive information on Redmine

Vorteile:

ya, it's free. And we can optimize it as our own way. Becasue sometime you need to make it suitable for your organization. But for the Commercial software, you can only request them and wait for them. With Redmine, you can do everything you want to make it fit to your people.

Nachteile:

End-user always complain me about the software is hard to use. For me, a tech, I fell it's OK. But End-user they might need something pretty, beautiful and more visualization.

Redmine Software Review

Kommentare: Fun and smooth, having that feeling of sentiment not overshadowing it's overall usability.

Vorteile:

What I love best about Redmine is the ease of using it, nothing feels too complicated. It's also free!

Nachteile:

I would say that UI looks as if very outdated, it has a look of the early 2000s. However, others may argue that this is stylish, and there is some merit to this, I'd agree.

Manage planning and time tracking of project with redmine

Vorteile:

Basically its good tool to use for small projects organization. Having nice features and very customisable which is very nice things. And having almost all things which need to manage any small projects.

Nachteile:

Having very limited features for managing large team and project. App integration are not there need to download limited plugins.

Free Project Management

Kommentare: Redmine provides a simple and easy to use tracking and project management software system all built into one. Redmine's issue tracking or ticketing system gives developers a fast and flexible tool to address issues with the software. The tool can also be used to track projects and to "chunk" projects into smaller bite-sized sub-projects that increase productivity and help members of a team keep up to date with the progress of a project. I've used Redmine with teams and found that the collaborative nature of the product can help members stay in touch and help with assigning subtasks. As a scrum manager, I found that it helps greatly in sprint planning and reporting. Also, you can generate Gant charts to visually show where a project is at any time. The best part of Redmine is that it's open sourced and given some customization, you can quickly create a ticketing and/or program management that helps meet the needs of different members of a team. Redmine is also free to use, which makes it popular with small and large organizations that don't have vast budgets for software purchases.

Vorteile:

1. Open-source (free) 2. Easy to use (once it's been customized) 3. Flexible (can be customized to your needs) 4. Multi-purposed (serve different roles at the same time)

Nachteile:

1. Requires someone to administrate it. 2. Requires installation, but a cloud based version is available.

Great free software for bug tracking and project management

Kommentare: 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

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

User/mid size companies want a free bug tracking tool then I would recommend to use Redmine tool.

Kommentare: This is a very good tool for any small or mid sized companies and then need a free bug tracking tool then absolutely I recommend to use Redmine.

Vorteile:

Any small or mid sized companies need a free bug tracking tool then absolutely I would recommend to use Redmine. Because it is quite easy to use and have all basic features you need for tracking defects. you can create a bug tracking tickets without struggle a much. It is having the simple interface and quick layout for project and even task entry and also good filtering system for sorting through tasks.

Nachteile:

This tool mainly miss the some useful features like you cannot edit created defects or tasks, only write comments to them. So definitely at the time of creation you have to take care of the bug. UI Layout is looks like outdated and we cannot feel like working on a new or advanced software.

It's competency in ticket tracking is superb

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.,

Nachteile:

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.

Good If You Can Customize

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

It's written in Ruby and is highly customizable.

Nachteile:

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

Redmine is the perfect portal to have clients and developers working together

Kommentare: Overall I like the product, but I think it may be too small and not robust enough for a larger corporation to use.

Vorteile:

It's ability to have projects that are viewable with permissions. So that both client, PM and developer can work simultaneously to get the job done.

Nachteile:

User interface felt a little dated and was lacking in some features such as real time chat, etc.

Amazing tool for E2E Project Management

Kommentare: Compare to others and consider the support options and license styles.

Vorteile:

Free tool to use Agile (SDLC) process and also ease to document the bugs. Large size files can share and quick response and it can be integrated with Jira for internal use. Dashboard with customizing feature helps to monitor project activities

Nachteile:

Sprint wise planning cant be done easily. Project wise quality reports or measurement reports can't be generated and also Unfortunately some useful features are missing. For example, you cannot edit created defects or tasks, only write comments to them.

Good tool but needs a refresh

Kommentare: Good option for keeping teams organized around the work and more budget friendly than JIRA.

Vorteile:

Simplicity is Redmine's strength by far. It's got a no-frills interface and everything is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate.

Nachteile:

It's a little feature-lacking compared to some of the other platforms that do the same thing. I definitely find myself frustrated by the search feature for instance.

Free task management tool

Kommentare: It is easy to use, useful for independent tasks, small projects and without dependencies.

Vorteile:

It is a free tool that allows you to manage tasks

Nachteile:

It is not very robust, it does not allow me to control state changes with conditions or programming, it does not allow me to create dependencies between tasks that allow me to have a specific project

Redmine review

Kommentare: I can use it but would prefer if it becomes more easy to access tasks from previous sprints and bit more manageable.

Vorteile:

I like how we can set priority to our tasks. Also it’s pretty easy to manage QA process. Setting status and changing it during the process is very good. Assignment of tasks are easy. Github integration is fantastic.

Nachteile:

By look, it feels really complicated. Some hands on time is needed to understand the product. Also, I struggle with searching the task that are from previous sprints.

Powerful issue tracking tool

Kommentare: Keeping track of work flow with multiple customers and multiple people working.

Vorteile:

Flexible enough for custom work flows etc. Powerful enough to properly track issue status. Was meant for managing software bugs and features, but can be used for multiple applications.

Nachteile:

Some things are difficult to do. There are custom addons that can sometimes help with that.

Remine- a project management tool that any industry would need

Kommentare: Redmine is a good project management tool, but needs industry / usage specific custom improvements

Vorteile:

Issue creation, assignment, Issue tracking, categorizing, prioritizing, reference, subtasking, etc.,

Nachteile:

Real time traking needs significant improvement with custom developments wrt to industry.

Redmine is a good barebones issue tracking tool

Vorteile:

The best way I can put it: it's basically the toyota camry of issue tracking/project management software. It'll consistently get you from point A to point B, but it's not the flashiest or fastest.

Nachteile:

The UI is a bit dated and the reporting features can be a hassle. The search is atrocious and would frustrate even the best searchers.

The best customizeable option for complex workflows

Kommentare: It's fantastic. If you need an extremely powerful tool for project management, software development, or anything with complex workflows, Redmine is a superstar.

Vorteile:

It's open source, highly customizable out of the box, there are a lot of powerful plugins available.

Nachteile:

I wish that a lot of the popular plugins would be standard features.
