Redmine

Hello,

Meanwhile I'm exporting a big csv from redmine I'm asking myself what are the different feedbacks of redmine users. So as to have some data for everybody I propose to share our experience by giving some data of our usage:

• Type of use:
  -Project management
  -Issues management
  -Test management
  -Partial documentation management
  -Reporting
  -Delivery management
  -Requirement management for some projects only

• Number of instance: 3
  1 for production, 1 for test, 1 with the last version published
• Number of active users: 100-150
• Number of daily users : 20
• Number of projects: around 50
• Number of trackers: around 30000
• Number of tracker types: 17
• Number of mongrel clusters: 4
• Server OS: Windows
• Specific developement on the redmine app: No
• Context: software development for industry
• Plug-in: Redmine Work Time plugin,Redmine Light Box plugin ,Issue Importer,Redmine Graphs plugin,WikiNG
• Version: 1.1.1
• Notifications by e-mail: yes
• Creating issues by e-mail: yes

PRO: very flexible tool in term of modelisation and a lot of functions
CONS:

• the only lack is a much elaborated reporting system so as to enable reports using the links between trackers, (this CONS can be easily bypassed by a birt report )
• documentation management, but this can be easily bypassed by the DMSF plugin (in test in our side)

Hope this topic can help people.

Feel free to do the same and add characteristics of your use.

Regards
