JIRA/confluence alternative [closed]

Question

Please tell me what kind of programs you use insted of JIRA/confluence. I don't like jira because the design is so Java style. For example I like the PivotalTracker for tracking fresh projects.

What do you suggest? THX!

Deli

Do you like MS Project (TFS)? – Salivation

What do you mean by "because the design is so Java style"? – Eyde

Java style is "not for designers" because the UI is bad. – Deli

UI bad? wait until you see BugZilla :) – Eyde

That is why I don't use BugZilla :). – Deli

I was forced to use PivotalTracker at a consultancy. The app made no sense to me at all. I am a Java developer, so that probably explains it ;-) – Izy

Answer 1

Phabricator is a suite of web applications that help software companies communicate about software effectively. It was created at Facebook. Didn't try it yet, but looks like a good option.

We use Phabricator at work - the performance is blazing, it has awesome code review, tight integration with git, task management, projects (grouping tasks with priority) and lots more besides. I highly recommend it. – Endophyte

Wow. That looks pretty nice. Can't believe I haven't heard of it before! – Decrypt

Answer 2

For Project Management, Trello is a sweet free alternative, albeit with much fewer features.

For sharing files with the team, Google Drive is a good option (the shared folders feature is awesome).

For VCS+more, you can use something simple like Github, or more powerful tools like Redmine or Kiln.

A quick search on Google gets you more quasi-interesting projects:

• FogBugz (Fog Creek software, again)
• Gemini
• Squish
• Bontq
• Elementool
• YouTRACK (from the lovely chaps who make InteliJ IDEA)
• Lighthouse
• The Bug Genie

Answer 4

Redmine is a good alternative. It combines wiki and issue tracker pretty well.

Answer 5

Maybe CounterSoft Gemini works for you?

Nope. I hate Gemini myself. – Ineludible

Answer 6

Mindtouch is really great. They have a community version, and their scripting is very intuitive. Searching is fast, and their user community is really lively.

Answer 8

A lot of projects in our company use Trac (see The Trac Project). It is a combination of a lightweight wiki, issue tracker and integrator for Subversion commits. Written in Python, there are some plugins available for it, so it may expanded pretty easy. I like JIRA and Confluence more, but that is a personal preference.
