Who each one suits
Redmine

- Software teams that want issues tied to a code repository
- Organizations running many projects and subprojects in one installation
Taiga
- Agile teams running Scrum or Kanban, or moving between the two
- Growing teams on a fixed budget, since hosted plans are flat-rate with unlimited users
- Organizations that want to self-host an open-source tool
Worth knowing
Redmine
- The project offers downloads rather than hosting: you install it yourself, which needs Ruby and a database such as PostgreSQL or MySQL.
- Redmine itself is a web application. The mobile and desktop clients listed on its site are community tools that the project does not support.
- Help comes from community forums, an IRC channel and an unofficial Slack workspace; the project is maintained by volunteers.
- SQLite is supported as a database, but the install guide says it is not for multi-user production use.
Taiga
- Hosted plans are limited by projects and storage rather than users: Free allows 1 public and 1 private project with 10 MB of storage.
- The largest self-serve hosted plan, Premium, stops at 3 GB of storage. A dedicated instance or on-premise support is quoted by sales.
- Prices are listed in euros only.
- The vendor's site mentions no desktop or mobile apps; Taiga is used in a web browser.
Key features
Redmine
- Configurable issue tracking
- Statuses and issue types are defined by the administrator, and workflow transitions are set for each issue type and role from the web administration interface.
- Gantt chart and calendar
- Both views are generated automatically from the start and due dates entered on issues.
- Time tracking
- Time can be entered at project or ticket level, with a simple report of time per user, issue type, category or activity.
- Per-project wiki and forums
- Each project can have its own wiki, with diff and annotate views, alongside forums, news, documents and file management.
- Repository browser
- Existing Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar or CVS repositories can be attached to a project to browse their contents, search changesets and view diffs.
- Roles, custom fields and REST API
- Roles and permissions are user-defined, custom fields cover issues, time entries, projects and users, and a REST API serves data as XML or JSON.
Taiga
- Kanban boards
- Boards support multiple workflows with swimlanes, WIP limits, epics and sub-tasks, plus filters, search and an archive for finished user stories.
- Scrum backlog and sprints
- Backlog and sprint planning with epics, estimations that can be set per role, a sprint task board, and burndown charts at project and sprint level.
- Issue tracking
- Issue types, priorities and severities are customizable. An issue can be added to a sprint or promoted to a user story.
- Dashboards, wiki and reports
- A team performance dashboard, project timeline, personal dashboard and wiki are included, and project data can be exported as CSV for custom reports.
- Self-hosting
- The open-source software can be installed with Docker, the recommended route, or from source code. Projects can be exported and imported between instances.
- API, webhooks and integrations
