Planio
Hosted Redmine with issue tracking, repositories, wiki and help desk
What is Planio?
Planio is a hosted project management service built on the open-source Redmine. It combines issue tracking with role-based workflows, agile boards, roadmaps and Gantt charts, Git and Subversion hosting, wikis, time tracking, team chat and a customer help desk. Plans are priced at a flat monthly rate by the number of active projects and users, not per seat.
Planio has a free plan. Paid plans start at $25 per month for 5 active users and 3 active projects, billed monthly. See every plan
Good for
- Software teams that want issues, repositories and a wiki in one hosted service
- Organizations already using Redmine that prefer not to host it themselves
- Teams that answer customer email from the same tool as their issues
Worth knowing
- Plans cap both active projects and active users: Silver stops at 3 projects and 5 users, and Platinum at 40 projects and 45 users.
- Planio Storage is a paid add-on below Platinum, and Help Desk is a paid add-on on Silver and Gold.
- The free Bronze plan is limited to 1 project, 2 users and 1 GB, and moving up from it does not include the 30-day trial.
- A custom domain is included only in Enterprise; the FAQ lists it as a paid extra at 15 euros a month on other plans.
Key features
- Issue tracking and workflows
- Issues carry configurable fields such as status, priority, assignee and dates, and role-based workflows define which steps each participant may take.
- Agile boards, roadmaps and Gantt
- Plan sprints on a Kanban-style agile board, or assign issues to milestones and follow them on a roadmap and an automatically generated Gantt chart.
- Git and Subversion hosting
- The pricing page lists an unlimited number of Git and Subversion repositories for its plans, and GitHub repositories can be mirrored into Planio.
- Wiki and discussions
- Each project can have its own wiki and forum for recording decisions, and chat messages, updates and comments are kept with the work they refer to.
- Help Desk
- Emails from customers become issues, with auto-replies, reply templates and a tracking page customers can open without logging in. It is an add-on on Silver and Gold.
- Time tracking and mobile apps
- Start a timer on an issue and log the time with a comment and activity. Free iOS and Android apps list, filter, create and edit issues.
