Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.

Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Pros

“I used Redmine in projects from 2011-2017, now I still occasionally used it in my side projects. But for software development projects, I used Jira more.”

Jim C.

TPM

“You can self host it, but eventually you will reach its limits and it will be PITA to maintain it.”

Martynas S.

Infrastructure manager

“Keeping track of the number of instances for an issue was really helpful.”

Diego A.

Project coordinator

Pros

“Task management is efficient with clear priorities, statuses, milestones, and deadlines. While employee management is basic, the user roles and access controls are sufficient for managing teams effectively within projects.”

Chaitanya P.

Sales team

“Employee management features are minimal, and the UI, while clean, can feel slightly dated for power users who need deeper insights and automation.”

Chaitanya P.

Sales team

“The "Gantt Chart" feature is also included by default, which helps visualize timelines without needing extra plugins.”

Eldho B.

Digital marketer

Cons

“In retrospect - a tool is not enough if the monkey is not wise to use it.”

Martynas S.

Infrastructure manager

“It's horrible at issue management, even tho you can customize the UX it's not intuitive, it has a big community but not that big compared with their competitors and most of the plugins are hard to implement or incomplete since are obsolete.”

Marcos F.

SRE Team Lead

“To supplement some of its lacking features a reporting tool has been used, but the day-to-day use is horrible both for the team and management.”

Arturo M.

Senior Engineer

Cons

“Advanced analytics, dashboards, and workflow customization are fairly basic compared to some competitors.”

Chaitanya P.

Sales team

“Limited reporting andd customization, and the UX/UI feels somewhat outdated compared to newer tools.”

Phong L.

CEO
