Overview of project management systems

I had to look at a lot of project management systems in the last couple of days and want to share what I found ...

We were looking for options with hosting from the creator of the software, so as not to bother with the installation at home (so, for example, there is no Redmine in its pure form).
The integration with Google calendar and github was important to me.

I also wanted something more than Bug tracking - also management of features, requirements, etc.

I apologize for a lot of terms in English.

UPD: I do not pretend that I looked through all such sites. there are a lot of them!!!

So:

Jira
Suitable for managing bugs and tasks. But plugins are available only in the download version, so hosted (on Demand) versions do not integrate with github and Google calendar.
In fact - just a good bug tracker





Zoho (Google Apps)
Adds the Add Task button to Gmail for each email. Shows the task in the calendar. Better integration with Google Apps from what I've seen.
There are Pages, Forums.
But in the free version there is no Bug Tracking. Asked for a free trial to look at it.
A pretty good bug tracker, but there is no “component” field.
There should also be github integration, but only in the most expensive versions.
There are milestones (internal and external)
Bugs have “due date”, but this date, unlike the date of tasks, is not shown in the calendar.
Reports emails about bugs and bugs
You can create task and forum messages from Gmail's email (I haven't seen this anywhere else!)
Overall, not bad.









Yodiz (Google Apps)
A good bug tracker, you can add tasks (Tasks), but only as part of User Story, i.e. you must first add User Stroy
There is integration with GitHub - you can write special characters in the header of the commit and then he will know that the commit is related to a bug or a task.
Its list of components (for bugs), custom fields, severity of the bug, statuses, checkbox for high priority.
There are forums.
No google calendar integration
In general, not bad, but not very good interface, overloaded, different parts in different style







Zilicus (Google Apps)
Tasks management (with time and resource management)
Risks management
Issues management (weakly: no tags, 3 priorities, communication with risk or risk)
Task can be seen in google calendar
Issues have due dates, but they are not visible in the calendar.
No github integration
Many unnecessary (us) things: costs, budgets, timesheets.
Clearly not focused on software projects.

Mavenlink (Google Apps)
Something like a big board with task management messages (plus some expenses related to expenses, but I didn’t look at them)
The message may contain a file, a document from google drive, task
No github integration, no bug tracking
Tasks are visible in google calendar

Planio :
As I understand it - hosting Redmine.
Bug tracking (very good, but you need to determine a lot of details - components, statuses, priorities - there are no default values). There are gant, calendar, files, wiki
Integration with github, you can indicate that this commit is related to the bug, even close the bug with a commit. You can view the file tree and commit history for everyone.
No ficherov or task - only bugs. Looks beautiful. There is an integration with the Google calendar









bontq
Many projects, bugs tracking, feature requests, tasks, documents, test cases.
You can create your own repository for git or svn
You cannot connect to an existing repository.
There is no integration with google calendar
Overall looks very good

Lighthouse
Projects, tickets, messages, milestones
No integration with resource control, no urgency of tickets

Fog Bugz (know who Joel Spolsky is?)
Very good bug tracker, but no more.
You can create your own repositories for git and mercurial, but you cannot connect the existing one.
No management features
Generates release notes

Snow evening
Another good bug tracker, but no more.
Integration with github - it is possible through the commit message to specify which bug the commit belongs to, or even close the bug
In the bug, you can specify the category (component), Mylston, software version

gemini
Require a credit card for free trial (!)
Manage bugs, fichera, user stories, many fields, you can add your own, you can order your own state of the bug. The bug may depend on other bugs. There is github integration. handsomely





Teamwork
You create projects (such as big tasks - site redesign), in them there are tasks, bugs. There is a gant, integration with Google calendar.
No integration with github.
There are documents, forums, files.
The choice of types of tasks, what are the statuses of bugs.

codebeamer
There are different trekkers (for bugs, for requirements, for ficher, ...)
Wiki, integration with git (could not get work)
It looks like something pathetic.
They are available on hosting only for open source, and otherwise - download and install. No integration with the goggle calendar.

Bottom line - lean towards planio
