    I disagree with the poster who gave this a thumbs down. Not everyone looking for an alternative is looking for like-to-like. For instance if one has one's own webspace and a chromebook or skips between devices then a self hosted alternative with a free starting point would be quite attractive.

    Redmine has to much focus on software development. It is not a good fit for other kinds of projects.

    Great software, very user-friendly and with loads of features (including full-blown Gantt) if you pay at least the professional subscription. Great for collaboration and project management. The free version has no Gantt, nor dependencies between tasks,which cripples it substantially in my opinion.
