Easy8 alternative for open-platform freedom

Both are based on Redmine, but they take it in different directions.
Easy8 has evolved into an integrated project management lifecycle platform with its own ecosystem, AI and automation capabilities.

RedmineX deliberately keeps Redmine an open platform. You choose your hosting, infrastructure, plugins, integrations and development while retaining the ability to change individual components or providers later. Easy8 prioritizes integration. RedmineX prioritizes independence.

Yes, but self-hosting and vendor independence are not the same thing.
RedmineX is built around standard Redmine and supports deployment on your own infrastructure, private cloud or infrastructure provider. You retain control not only over where the application runs, but also over how it is extended, integrated and maintained.

This makes RedmineX particularly suitable for organizations where on-premise deployment is part of a broader requirement for infrastructure and technology independence.

Yes. RedmineX has a dedicated Easy8 migration connector that allows us to migrate your data from Easy8 back to a standard Redmine environment.

This is important because moving away from a Redmine-based platform is not necessarily the same as migrating standard Redmine. Easy8-specific data and functionality need to be mapped correctly to Redmine and the corresponding extensions.

The result: you keep your data while regaining the freedom of an open Redmine ecosystem.

With RedmineX, yes. Because standard Redmine remains the foundation, you can use RedmineX development, another Redmine developer or your own development team.
This is particularly important for organizations that need custom API integrations with ERP, CRM, identity management, Microsoft services or proprietary internal systems.
