April 28, 2026 4.0 C'est un outil de confiance pour la gestion de workflows structurés, bien qu'une modernisation de l'ergonomie soit nécessaire pour améliorer l'expérience utilisateur au quotidien. Pros Une solution extrêmement flexible et robuste pour le suivi multi-projets, offrant une gestion des tickets précise et une traçabilité irréprochable grâce à ses plugins. Cons L'interface utilisateur est datée et peu intuitive, ce qui rend la courbe d'apprentissage assez complexe pour les profils non techniques lors des configurations.

Pros Clarte dans la gestion des tickets avec notre prestataire. L'ensemble des fonctionnalités permet de détailler au mieux les informations à transmettre. Les différents statuts permettent ensuite de suivre au plus près la suite du traitement. Cons Complexe à prendre en main, l'outil nécessite un temps d'adaptation avant une utilisation optimale. Le coût des licences peut également être un frein.

It is pretty flexible bug-tracking software, and easy to install. Cons Redmine has a quite poor graphic user interface. Review Source SZ Souha Z.

Retail ops Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great communication " October 9, 2024 5.0 Very useful, a quicker form of communication Pros Easy to get assistance and training support Cons Can take a while to load depending on Wi-Fin connections Review Source Dmitrijs M. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Was our companion-tool of choice for many projects" September 3, 2023 5.0 Redmine is a powerful and versatile project management tool. However, its outdated user interface may be a turnoff for some users. We used it because it was highly configurable and could run on our hardware or in totally in Intranet in some sensitive projects. We used it since 2006 or so for many years. Pros Redmine is a feature-rich project management tool with everything you need to manage projects of all sizes. It is easy to use with a clean and intuitive interface. It can be integrated with a variety of other tools and self-hosted, giving you more control over your data and security. Cons The interface of Redmine always looked dated for every version. Review Source Steve M. VP of Product Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Even if you use another tool, you have Redmine to thank" December 29, 2021 5.0 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. Pros 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. Cons 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.

QA Automation Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Alternative for JIRA" August 19, 2022 3.0 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. Pros A number of features. Low price. Customer service. Cons Design, design, and one more time design. Average mechanics of the app. Integration with other IT apps. Relatively small community Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Changing the company Review Source AM Arturo M. Senior Engineer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Redmine is good for issue and bug management, but do not use it for anything else" May 31, 2023 1.0 In our company, it has been in use as the main project management and configuration management tool. The experience is horrible, only useful for very small projects with little or no updates. To supplement some of its lacking features a reporting tool has been used, but the day-to-day use is horrible both for the team and management. Pros Simple, straightforward. Good ticket management for bug-fixing or maintenance phases. Cons All project management-related aspects are invalid. Gantt tool is a nightmare. The Edition of the existing plan is a nightmare. Resource management is flawed. Review Source VO Victor O. Business Applications Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Redmine Review " December 13, 2022 5.0 It’s been great. Especially if it’s issue tracking you’re looking for, Redmine is the best software I’ve used so far Pros It’s straight forward and doesn’t deviate from its functionality. After setting it up you’ll get used to it easily. Each functionality there is necessary and easy to use as well Cons The user interface is a bit bland. A bit of customization needs to be made so it’s looks a bit lively. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Desing Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free task management tool" July 15, 2022 2.0 It is easy to use, useful for independent tasks, small projects and without dependencies. Pros It is a free tool that allows you to manage tasks Cons 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 Review Source MM Miswanto M. Product Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Redmine make my project easier" April 30, 2022 5.0 Overall, I'm really excited and get helping from this software. Thank you for making great Project Management software that can make easier to use and increase my time to get another thing than coordination manually to the team. Pros Task management, and collaboration can be set up within minutes. It can increase our time to manage other things and make sure the project running well from update in Redmine. Cons Resource booking not shown more effective, maybe Redmine team can improve some point in Resource Booking feature Reason for choosing Redmine Easy to use, and simple Review Source MF Marcos F. SRE Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Full customizable but not great" January 20, 2023 2.0 Pros One of the things I like the most about Redmine is the customization it has. If you have an on-premise service you could just create your own theme for the company, create your own "ticket" categories and so on. It's very flexible in that way so if you manage it correctly and have a great maintenance probably it's worth for a few bucks. Cons It's horrible at issue management, even tho you can customize the UX it's not intuitive, it has a big community but not that big compared with their competitors and most of the plugins are hard to implement or incomplete since are obsolete. Also if you choose the on-premise solution like I said you will have to make a monthly maintenance or in large companies it does not escalate properly and you will have to improve your servers expending more money or even extracting the database to another external service.

Owner Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Been using Redmine for over 10 years - tried lots of PM tools but keep with Redmine" December 28, 2020 4.0 We manage all our web development projects through Redmine, over 2000 now in total. I've tried several other PM tools but none had as much power or as good of a price as this! Pros So I run a small web development team, working with medium to large projects for all sorts of clients. We've been using Redmine for over a decade now and have tried several other project management tools that look nicer, load faster, and are easier to set up. However, Redmine is a solid product that allows you to fully describe project tasks, assign to team members, and keep up with project progress. Once you have it set up, it's easy to use and free except for the hosting. We go with the self hosting option but there is a Redmine hosting service I've seen. Definitely recommend. Cons Redmine is clunky, lacks good design, and out of the box, each action requires a new page load. If you do the self-hosted option, you have to install and configure this Ruby on Rails application which is a serious pain in the butt. We hired a guy to set it up for us (3 hours) and the hosting (over 2000 projects now) is costing $22/mo. So even though it's clunky, it does the job well. We are planning on installing some add-ons soon to make it load via Ajax and look nicer. Reason for choosing Redmine Lower price and power. Review Source Matthew P. Consultant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Project Tracker/Management/Team Tool bar none" June 6, 2018 5.0 Excellent project/tracker management - faster execution of projects Pros You can get the bare bones redmine up and running in minutes using a bitnami stack. Out of the box it's built for speed and simplicity, but if you are prepared to put some minimal effort in to add plugins, you can add many features, all free, that take it to the next level. Cons The barebones version leads many (reviewers on this site included) to think that's all there is. It's built to be modular and extensible, so if you don't like the UI, you can simply add themes, if you want it to do additional stuff like tight email integration, agile (yes there are multiple free versions), helpdesk, Work Breakdown Structures, Charts, fully customized menu bar, repositories, Vault, Excellent Wiki, integrations to Slack and other ticket systems etc - you can do all of that. But because people see versions of Jira or Service Now running with more features (both of which require much more knowledge and effort), they think that redmine is underpowered. So imho that would be my main issue - it's reputation regarding functionality and security - both unfounded. Review Source FG Flo G. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best freely available project management tool" June 11, 2023 4.0 Pros The advantage of Redmine is that it is freely available and can be freely extended by developing your own plugins. Cons Due to the openness of redmine and the possibility of extending it with plugins, it can sometimes take a long time after an update for all plugins, whether purchased or self-developed, to be adapted for the corresponding version.

System Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Opensource software" November 15, 2019 4.0 Many plugins but sometimes the plugins may contain some security bugs. Be aware of it. Becasue you might have some sensitive information on Redmine Pros 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. Cons 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.

Having nice features and very customisable which is very nice things. And having almost all things which need to manage any small projects. Cons Having very limited features for managing large team and project. App integration are not there need to download limited plugins. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Développeur web (Symfony/Drupal) Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good open source ticketing software" May 13, 2018 4.0 A useful ticketing system as well as a time tracking system for free, as it is open source. Pros I used this software in two companies that had it customized to their needs. So the possibility to customize features to fit the company workflow seems to be properly working. We used the time tracking feature to know which part of a project was taking more time than planned. The ticket's features are very useful for teamwork as you can see who worked on what task and when. You can also easily add documents attached to the task, and even write some Wiki for projects that may need it. Cons Redmine can be quite complicated to use, for one not used to software like this. For example we used to open parts of the software for clients when we were doing fine tuning on applications and websites, and often the client needed a small training to be able to create ticket and answer questions on the ticket.

Creative Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best free self-hosted PM tools in the market" December 7, 2022 5.0 Redmine has become our daily driver in terms of project management and we cannot do without it nowadays. Pros Redmine is easy to use and great for onboarding clients and staff. It is able to prioritize our work and helps clients to see the project roadmap and development cycle at a glance. Cons It was a little difficult to get it up and running, but once you do, you don't have to ever touch it again. Review Source Mateus K. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't let Redmine's interface fool you: it is one of the best project management softwares out there" February 13, 2022 5.0 My own experience with Redmine has been very smooth and I could certainly understand all the benefits it brought to the team and to the managers involved in the project. Pros Redmine has a great number of features that are extremely useful for any team working on a project. You can store important files in its Wiki, allowing information both from the project and the company itself to be stored in a unique and well-organized place. Tasks are easily created and assigned to one more person and tracking the task's progression is extremely easy. Besides that, the Gantt chart and a couple of other tools allow for easy visualization of the project's progress and how each person working on it is doing. Cons Redmine's User Interface is, honestly, not that pleasing to look at. It really feels like software coming from the 90s that is old and clunky. That assessment is incorrect and Redmine actually works really well, but it's still not beautiful at all.

It's an open source solution. Pros Integrates with Subversion and Git, which is awesome for IT PM.
