The wiki feature was very useful for my team! I also liked being able to set milestones and easily configure ticket options (priorities, assignments, status). In this sense, it's similar to JIRA in that you can very easily edit information about tasks and produce robust, well-structured documentation. Cons The UI doesn't feel super polished, and the wiki feature would have been difficult for my team to adopt because you need to know Markdown in order to use it effectively. (Yes, Markdown is both a Pro and a Con in this review.) Redmine also didn't have a chat feature or the kind of file preview options my team expected. Review Source Giuseppe N. Software Engineer Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good application for project management and issue tracking" May 16, 2022 5.0 Pros We use this application for the management and tracking of issues of an opensource software. We collaborate in 3 companies and I must say that everything works perfectly. Cons While I prefer Redmine to Easy Redmine, here too I believe that the same thing applies to Redmine too, a more intuitive interface would be needed. Review Source Matheus A. Programador web Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "the best incident management and task control tool" December 10, 2018 5.0 Pros I have used the Redmine tool for a long time and I can guarantee it is the best tool for task management, time tracking and projects. I already tried to use others, which are said to be more effective but I ended up coming back to Redmine because it suited me perfectly. Cons I can not find defects in the usability and in the interaction of the purposes of Redmine because it is a very good tool, but only lacking integrations with current tools. As for example, Bitbucket and other tools that are more current and that together I believe would make the tool even better. I think the installation of plugins that is archaic (uploading via FTP and restarting server) is bad too, I would like it to be a simpler way, user frendly. Review Source Pastor D. Desarrollador Freelancer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good tool for project management" May 30, 2018 5.0 With Redmine I was able to manage the execution of my projects and verify the progress percentage of it, as well as customize it to evaluate the costs associated with the execution of the projects Pros Redmine is a project manager that can be configured easily and quickly, in addition to allowing it to be customized for communication with external applications. It allows to create workflows according to the business model. You can manage the resources used in the execution of a project and evaluate the costs in a friendly way Cons Redmine can be complicated to use for people with little technological knowledge as well as project management. This results in the investment in the training of all personnel involved in the use of the application. Being customizable and allowing communication with external applications can make it unstable by not complying with the workflow Review Source Pinki K. Technical consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Manage team task and projects" August 29, 2022 5.0 Its very good experience to use this tool. We are using it to manage our time tracking and to check the progress of the task. Pros Its very easy to use and manage. Provide all basic features which need for an organisation to manage projects. It is usually for managing the team time tracking and managing the task. Cons It has less integration support of other tools. It is good for small organisation.

Ne s'intègre pas très bien avec des outils de Windows Pros Suivit de ticket client ou de bug Suivit de tâches et de progression Estimation de projets Cons Interface un peu dépassé. Manque d'intégration avec des outils autre comme jira et Outlook Review Source Alejandro S. Desarrollador de software Used the software for: 2+ years ### " excelenete project manager" May 21, 2018 5.0 excellent experience with this software, work on more than 7 projector using it, I recommend it Pros \*Management of multiple projects \*Customization of projects \*Flexible task tracking system \*Integration in code repositories \*Use of calendar and Gantt chart Cons Redmine is a very powerful and mature project manager, despite its "little" development time, it is also inspired by trac, so we are facing a very flexible tool in itself, and quite stable. During its use, it is difficult or easy to obtain shortcomings, always depending on what each user is looking for, so you have to be very clear about what you are looking for in this type of tool.

Geschäftsführer Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gute Opensource Lösung - aber nicht ohne Einschränkung zu verwenden" March 10, 2024 3.0 Gutes Tool als kleine und günstige Lösung. Pros Vielfältige Möglichkeiten in der Nutzung und Konfiguration Cons „Nur“ über die Community mit Support abgedeckt. Kauflösungen sind aber vorhanden. Review Source Magaly D. Assistant Business Manager Textiles Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Free software for managing projects, tasks and more" September 1, 2023 5.0 From my experience, it is good for experimenting and getting into the world of management. It is also a great collaborator, however in order not to incur delays it is better that a developer is in charge of its maintenance. Pros The most favorable thing is that it is open source, that is to say, it is free. It also has an error tracking function, something that is common to appear in free software that does not have technical support. Cons The disadvantage is the support that the platform has, being open source it depends on other users who have had the same problems and know how to develop their solution. In case it generates delays and loss of money to obtain the solution. Review Source DD Doglei D. System Analist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Versátil mas difícil" January 20, 2021 2.0 No odo foi um bom sistema, foi possível extrair muitas estatísticas e organizar bem o modo de trabalho das equipes. Infelizmente, pela dificuldade em conseguir manter as alterações em bom funcionamento, muitas das equipes abandonaram seu uso e então ficou bastante restrito. No mais deveria dispor de mais exemplos prontos de configuração que possam dar vazão a novos utilizadores. Pros A ferramenta é bastante versáril, aceita plug-ins e configurações de personalização bastante adaptativas. Cons É bastante complexa e difícil a configuração da ferramenta. Como trabalhamos com equipes de distintas funções, não foi possível adequar um modelo que atendesse a todos de forma padronizada. Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Redmine Nós acabamos optando por outra ferramenta. Ele serviu de base para uma ótima avaliação de como gostaríamos que a nova ferramenta se comportasse.

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. Review Source GJ Gio J. Technical Trainer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free Project Management" January 7, 2017 4.0 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. Pros 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) Cons 1\. Requires someone to administrate it. 2. Requires installation, but a cloud based version is available. Review Source LP Loïc P.

PM Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "REDMINE simple" May 31, 2022 5.0 REDMINE es excelente para cualquier tipo de empresa que quiera gestionar sus procesos con una herramienta libre y muy fácil de implementar Pros me gusta porque es fácil y simple crear cualquier tipo de proceso solo usando funcionalidad nativa Cons considerando que es un software libre, no le encuentro contras ya que tiene más ventajas que otros productos pagos Alternatives considered [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[MantisHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/186906/MantisHub/) Reason for choosing Redmine porque tiene muchas funcionalidades, tiene una comunidad en constante actualización, y es muy simple de operar Switched from [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) porque Trello en su versión libre es muy limitado Review Source LC Lecze C. QA Tester Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Redmine Software Review" November 10, 2023 5.0 Fun and smooth, having that feeling of sentiment not overshadowing it's overall usability. Pros What I love best about Redmine is the ease of using it, nothing feels too complicated. It's also free! Cons 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. Review Source Guilherme C.

Ferramente muito boa! Cons Deveria ser visivelmente(layout) mais moderno, ter um visual mais agradável, mas não interfere negativamente. Review Source aT asad T.

Dispone de todas las herramientas necesarias (métricas, informes, agrupación de equipos, proyectos, etc.) para gestionar un proyecto de principio a fin. Cons El aspecto es un poco viejo y tosco. Seria importante una renovación gráfica. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Redmine es una solución mucho más ligera, ágil y fácil de utilizar. Review Source Alp Kamil S. Software Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good ticketing software" October 1, 2020 4.0 Easy to use and configure task management system. Pros Redmine is clear and simple, it's similar to JIRA. It works stably without errors. We use it to follow our projects and tasks. We can easily track and report people's efforts. We can manage our documents without the need for a separate tool. Nice to be open source. Cons User interface design does not feel very professional. Useful plugins can be added to further improve the product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of IT and Digital Marketing Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for issue and task tracking" April 5, 2022 5.0 We loved using Redmine, but eventually replaced it with JIRA, JIRA Service Desk, and Confluence. Which helped us better manage help desk and project tracking issues in one system. Pros Great price (free) for a good set of project task and time tracking features. Cons Lack of integration with help desk systems.

QA Tester Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Redmine review" November 11, 2021 4.0 I can use it but would prefer if it becomes more easy to access tasks from previous sprints and bit more manageable. Pros 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. Cons 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.

It is primarily aimed for development teams who can also install and manage it. Cons Favors software developers; not appropriate for all teams and projects Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool but needs a refresh " September 6, 2019 4.0 Good option for keeping teams organized around the work and more budget friendly than JIRA. Pros Simplicity is Redmine's strength by far. It's got a no-frills interface and everything is fairly straightforward and easy to navigate. Cons 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.
