Project Management
Redmine
Computer bug tracking software.
What it is
Redmine is an open-source project management and issue tracking application that has run reliably for over a decade.
Strengths and trade-offs
What works well
- Free and self-hostable with no seat limits
- Plugin ecosystem covers most needs
- Stable and predictable
Where it falls short
- Interface looks its age
- Plugins vary in quality and maintenance
- Ruby stack needs someone to maintain it
Who it is for
Organisations that want issue tracking without licence costs.
Our verdict
Unfashionable and still working. If the dated interface is acceptable, it costs nothing but hosting.
