Why should Redmine be chosen over other time tracking alternatives? The answer is, because of the inclusion of other features (not only issue tracking). Generally, time tracking applications rarely come alone, as this is a simple task that is unlikely to have many features. Thus, it is available as an additional feature in Trac, OrangeHRM, and so on.
So, let's check out the benefits of time tracking with Redmine:
In Redmine, time entries are associated with issues. And issues have a detailed description of what should be done. They can be shown on the Gantt chart, and much more.
Issues can also have an estimated time. This time can be used to evaluate the speed of development, determine problematic tasks, and so on.
Users can specify what they have been doing using the Comment field of the time entry.
With the help of the Activity field, administrators and project managers can categorize time entries.
Redmine allows users to add time entries through SCM commit messages...
