My biggest memory of Redmine is that EVERY time I thought, 'I wish it could do x', I clicked around and found it could.
I installed it in 1 click from an Azure template too.
The biggest complaint we have on it is how bad it's wiki search features are, and indeed they are too simple.
I wish I could adequately convey why. Based on other commenters talking about the APIs being strong though, and other products that seem nicer (I tried OpenProject for a time and had a pretty positive experience with it) are built upon it, it really goes to show how much a good UX can make or break a project with really great bones.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The company I work for switched from redmine to jira few years ago, after using redmine since 2009 or so. It was a really bad decision spearheaded by a single project manager. I miss redmine. I hate having to see the constant interstitial loading animation in Jira. And working through small modals. Just load the damn page for the link I clicked on. All the “single page application” junk is rarely executed well. But I…
You’re not a dinosaur for hating the continued consumerization of products and services targeted toward use cases that are expert in nature. Sure, have a simpler GUI for Jira Service Desk users in a non-technical customer service role. Give me a different GUI that’s not driven by designers looking to reinvent. I don’t need that, I don’t want that, and it just wastes my time.
I am shocked to see the design did not change a bit.
Likewise. I used it 10 years ago and it looks the same. Good luck trying to get non-technical people to use it.
The last shop I worked at used Redmine. The owner loved it, most folks found it okay, but the UX just rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not opposed to working with software with classic UIs and such, that would have been fine if the update workflow and page layout made sense. I wish I could adequately convey why. Based on other commenters talking about the APIs being strong though, and other products that seem nicer (I tr…
It's a "zero unplanned maintenance" tool which works without any problems, and can be extended with tons of features due to its extensible nature.
Maybe it's about being an oldish folk who used "classical UI"s more, yet I still find their information density much better than modern "fluffy and animated" UIs. No JS animations to waste power, no browser version requirement, just a brutalist structure built around function.
Paired with a powerful VM, it loads instantly, works perfectly.
I was never more productive as an IT Manager than with Redmine. It's so fast to get things entered and added, which was a boon for us. I miss it.
I’ve been using redmine for a decade for creating a project task breakdown, tracking time on tasks and projects and using that data to invoice customers, as well as issue tracking. The interface works, I don’t mind it. It allows export of data easily, and pdf generation. I wish redmine’s website for showing users what plugins exist and are up to date was a bit better. Plug-ins always seem to fall in to disrepair, and…
Redmine is great. Serves us without issues since 2007. I honestly don't understand companies using products like Jira when Redmine is available.
I'm currently using GitHub Projects for the Kannan view that integrates with Issues. Does Redmine have that feature?
