Our verdict on Redmine
Redmine is a web-based, open-source project management application for teams that need issue tracking, planning, documentation, collaboration, and time tracking under their own control. It supports multiple projects and subprojects, role-based access control, configurable issue statuses and workflows, Gantt charts, calendars, wikis, forums, documents, files, and repository browsing. Its cross-platform, cross-database design and GNU General Public License 2 release make it a fit for technical teams that want self-hosting rather than a vendor-hosted subscription product.
Its strongest area is the depth of its core project and issue workflows. Teams can define issue types, statuses, and workflows, then connect planning with built-in time tracking and reports. Per-project wikis, forums, documents, and files keep collaboration alongside delivery work, while email notifications and issue creation by email support communication outside the main interface. Gantt charts and calendars provide planning views, but the published category specifications identify Gantt as the task-view option, so teams seeking a wider range of visual planning views should assess the fit carefully.
Redmine also fits technical environments through repository and identity features. It supports browsing and diff viewing for Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, and CVS repositories, along with LDAP authentication, user self-registration, and a REST API with XML and JSON support. That combination suits organizations connecting project work with source control and existing directory services. Choose Redmine if self-hosting, configurable issue workflows, repository visibility, and project-level collaboration matter most. Consider an alternative if you want broader native integrations, more varied task views, or a vendor-hosted subscription experience.
