Redmine

Versátil mas difícil

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens:

A ferramenta é bastante versáril, aceita plug-ins e configurações de personalização bastante adaptativas.

Desvantagens:

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.

Facilitou a organização das minhas tarefas

Vantagens:

Muitas vezes tive reuniões com clientes onde eles passavam demandas desenfreadamente e sem controle nenhum e no fim sempre algumas se perdiam no meio das mensagens e acabavam causando um transtorno, com o redmine, devido à sua facilidade de uso, ferramente muito intuitiva, permitiu a organização dos meus boards, comecei a separar as entregas em etapas e aumentou muito a minha produtividade. Ferramente muito boa!

Desvantagens:

Deveria ser visivelmente(layout) mais moderno, ter um visual mais agradável, mas não interfere negativamente.

Best Project Tracker/Management/Team Tool bar none

Comentários: Excellent project/tracker management - faster execution of projects

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

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.

Was our companion-tool of choice for many projects

Comentários: 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.

Vantagens:

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.

Desvantagens:

The interface of Redmine always looked dated for every version.

Redmine - Mine full of possibilities

Comentários: My experience with Redmine has been a mixed bag. It is free, so it was a good start to using a fully fledged project management tool and get used to the process. It had adequate tracking features and after a bit of time, our team got used to it. But its archaic UI, confusing UX and a headache during deployment and frequent downtimes can seriously impede your project management process. So, it was a strictly OK experience for me with some pain points that were too impactful to ignore, so we had to make a switch to a better, a paid option.

Vantagens:

Redmine is a project tracking tool with good intentions. I like that it is free, open source and comes with comparable features to its paid counterparts. I love its Git integrations, flexible time tracking options and multiple databases support, even though it may take a bit of tinkering the first time around. But most of all, it is free and that is its biggest plus point. Anyone, with some configuration can get started with it.

Desvantagens:

Where do I start? Redmine is free, so we have to keep that in mind too as it allows you to dip your toes into the waters of project management tools. I really dislike the UI and UX. Granted, you have some themes but that doesn't help its case. The UI looks aged and the UX is somewhat terrible. Our team took a lot of time to grasp it and use it properly. And even then, we were making a lots of mistakes and couldn't find the data we wanted quickly. Redmine does have lots of features but most of them are half-baked. And also, according to the deployment team, the deployment was a headache. And we also got frequent downtime too. We were always getting 5xx errors and that seriously hampered our ability to track projects effectively.
