Project Management Software Comparison: OpenProject vs Taiga vs Redmine vs Gitlab vs WeKan vs NextCloud Deck vs Vikunja vs EspoCRM

@marcusquinn thank you for that recommendation. I'm testing EspoCRM. It has a lot of features. Unfortunately the feature of the email notifications can't be tested in the trial version. So you use it? Do email notifications work?
@Stefan Yes, everything works. Just install it on your Cloudron instance.

It sounds like perhaps you're trialing the hosted version?
Why not just install it on Cloudron?
@jdaviescoates Yes, I test the trial version at www.espocrm.com. I don't use Cloudron right now. We need a project management software that has the feature to notify people via email if their tasks reach the due date. EspoCRM seems to be the only one here at Cloudron. Many project management softwares lack this feature. It's working in Vikunja but that's not available in Cloudron. We now have to decide if we use EspoCRM and Cloudron or if we choose another service like Cloudron. As far as I know there's no other service like Cloudron that is easy to handle for people that don't have much knowledge in IT.

@jdaviescoates @Stefan It most definitely is. It's the one I use. My projects tend to be non-software dev and more planning step by step over longer periods of time. I also use it as a sort of diary or journal, keeping track of the state of my ideas or small projects. The email notifications work absolutely fine. Just my 2 cents:
Open Project - too ancient looking with very severe Gantt charts that my Kindergarten teacher would adore
Taiga - too much buffer around all the visual elements; it looks great but is distracting
Redmine - any day a ruby is gonna bust and it all falls apart; also looks like OP
Gitlab - I don't dev, so I don't need what its best at
WeKan - too simplistic looking, not inspiring
NextCloud Deck - well, if NC wouldn't keep crapping out and dying on me, maybe it could be the winner, but it has just proven to be too unreliable
EspoCRM - every time I've tried it I feel like I'm doing brain surgery on the brain/hive mind of The Borg, and it scares me and creeps me out.That leaves Vikunja. It looks great. Easily and wonderfully adaptable in appearance and layout. Sends emails. MAKES me want to use it. Winner.

@Gengar et al, Vikunja looks amazing but how do you do time tracking with it? That's literally the only thing I'd need it to do (ie track time) and it would appear to be perfect for us.

Doesn't look like it supports that yet although some people have various work arounds using n8n etc if you look in their forum.

Thank you @jdaviescoates.
It seems like they forgot to add Vikunja to the Project Management category (https://www.cloudron.io/store/index.html#project). That's why I didn't know that they have it. Actually Vikunja isn't in any category right now.
Do you know how I can tell the admins to add it to the Project Management category?
I couldn't find information on how to contact them. -

I couldn't find information on how to contact them.I think @staff gets them all, but I'd guess @joseph might be able to sort this? I think probably other apps are in the same un(der)categorised boat. There is also the support@cloudron.io email address and the issue tracker over on the Cloudron GitLab https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/issues (although I'm not sure this would fit there
) -
@jdaviescoates @Stefan thanks, done, I have added them now. For the tags, look for the "tags" field in the CloudronManifest.json file in the https://git.cloudron.io/packages/ .
