I am going to try a free trial of 5pm today. It looks like it can do what I
need.

The question is - what is a good open source system? A lot of these online
systems are great and cheap but all it takes is for one of the team members
to have a compromised computer and valuable information could be obtained
such as passwords or other private information. For that fact alone I'd
prefer to keep a server in house.
I've tried several but almost all of them are either 1) Time management
based or 2) For coding. I'm trying to find something that is like trello
where its more of a task management under the umbrella of project
management. Sometimes you have a whole long list of tasks that only loosely
fit under broad topics.
Also trying to find a good tree based or hierarchical based system.
I've messed with Redmine Bitrix a whole slew of them and nothing quite does
it. Its either too simple or too easy.
I was actually hoping that Powercode would take the ticketing system to a
new level if it could monitor devices outside its BMU's you could literally
just have categories and tickets in Powercode you could assign. It would be
very handy to keep a majority of your work in one program.

Trello is good for basic stuff. I mostly use it when coding.

I was using MSProject which IMO was better but LQ has nice mobile apps for
time tracking, etc.
(we also use JIRA, but for change management, PM)

What are you guys using for project management tools? I've had JIRA
recommended to me by a few people, but it seems focused on software
development. One of my partners asked us to check out Producteev and
Planbox. Neither Planbox nor Producteev has responded to any of my
inquiries.
Producteev doesn't support templates (seems like a must-have) and hasn't
had any blog or Twitter posts in nine months. Seems like a dead product.
Otherwise, it seems to support rather simple projects just fine.
Planbox does support templates, though the functionality seems broken.
They seem to be active (other than a lack of response to direct
inquiries),
but also seems to require more complex projects with their four tiered
approach.
There are more project management platforms than wifi vendors, so I was
hoping for some qualified leads.
