   GitLab vs JIRA Comments

   Top Positive Comment by FelschR · Jun 28, 2022

   GitLab comes with some great project management tooling. Sure, it's not as powerful as JIRA's, but it isn't totally bare-bones either. Some of the supported features are: Issues, Boards, Requirements, Epics, Milestones, Roadmaps, Burndown Charts, Time Tracking

   Gitlab manages code, Jira projects/todos

   Positive comment by kjcain · Sep 22, 2023

   as of 2023, gitlab has parity with most of the commonly used features of jira, however, a few of the features are only available in the more premium offerings, and even when you have the more premium features i think some of the more management-oriented people are still a little turned off by developer first interface gitlab provides and don't look much further than the readme.

   Top Negative Comment by Guest · Jan 17, 2025

   Redmine is an old school issues tracker. Jira is a project management tool.

   Positive comment by dnotonetg · Jan 3, 2023

   Redmine is free, open source, flexible, and has all the features I would want from JIRA with a much better interface.

   Great project management system.

   No time tracking. No time format for custom fields. No statistic and analyzing features.

    Kanboard vs JIRA Comments

    Positive comment by Guest · Sep 20, 2018

    Very easy to use, simple interface, lightweight footprint, lots of tools and options, includes plugins. Works incredibly well for a free tool.

    Positive comment by Guest · Mar 9, 2023

    It's self hosted, simple and can be used by a team. Cannot replace Jira as a ticketing tool for customers.
