But you have to make the call on what's more valuable: the cost of having tools that just work as expected, or your time dinking around with open-source knockoffs of those establishd tools. While I think highly of the above tools, I don't think any of them are "the best" tool out there. I get frustrated when I have to use them for different clients because the truth is good software takes dedication and teamwork. Open-source projects seldom have the resources to provide for great functionality, UX, visual design, integrations... etc.
A lot of small businesses are like, "I'm so smart, and GitHub Enterprise is such a ripoff at $21 a month per user... I'll just roll my own. This is so easy, why would any one pay?" Until you have an outage, or until you get stuck writing custom code to hook your time tracking software to the API, or you name it. You have to decide how to spend your dev hours. Are you a company that makes product management tools? If not, my advice is to use a service that that comes with an SLA.
I like GitHub. Relatively cheap, well designed, well maintained, easy integrations with everything. I hook in ZenHub for a Kanban Board, I hook in Marker for easy bug reporting, I hook in Harvest for time tracking, I hook in Sentry for application monitoring... hook in CircleCI or CodeShip... you get the idea. You don't get that level of integration with the self-hosted tools.
