I'm thankful for this component~ kudos to hydramanager.com

I love this! It is easy to use, easy to understand and Tobias provided immediate help with my one issue. Pixelpraise did a great job of providing him with a clean site design that made it easy to navigate and find how to install and configure the extension. I wish all extensions worked this well!

This component is fantastic! Not only is this a great tool for project management, but it also works as a calendar and file manager. READ - With this one component, you no longer need tools like DOCMAN and separate calendar components.

So far this application is very well designed for being so young. I am very excited to see where it heads.

THANKS!!!

I was surprised with that great component.
Thank you for releasing this for free .
I will defintly use it ,it will help me keep every project I start organized

User Groups , management , Authentications

THIS TOOL ROCK !!!

Hope to see fufure updates

Thanks a million

I was looking for a component like this, and I've tested some
other stand-alone Project Managers (dotProject,phpGroupWare..) before I found this Component here.
And I can say that this Component has more potential than most other Groupware Tools!
The whole System is easy to understand, no useless Gimmicks or
Information overkill.
Especially for people who
- are new to Project Management
- don't want to read a big manual first
- setup a workstation on the fly

this component is just perfect. But I can not recommend it for bigger and complex Projects. The component is just not ready for this yet. But I'm sure it will be greatly improved in the future.


Thanks for this component, great job!

Previous writers have told the most, so all I can do, is to repeat - very good and promising component. There are shortcomings, but the author is working on them.
Really really impressive!

This certainly looks very promising. As the author as pointed out, there are bugs in 0.6.0 particularly with SEO turned on in the back end of Joomla. I've implemented the hotfixes and it works to an extent now but there are still a few issues.

Also it would be nice if the component accommodated templates with not too much width to play with. The site I'm trying to introduct Hydra too is quite a narrow design so I tried disabling some of the Settings options but even with them turned off the heading 'Settings' is still displayed anyway so the width is still taken up.

Nevertheless, I'll be keeping an eye on the progress of Hydra and will be installing further updates as they are released.

I have been looking for a component with these capabilities for the better part of two months.


I am planning to use Hydra as a basic project tracker that allows employees to check on the status of certain projects, and to clearly define what tasks and resources will be necessary to complete that project. Ultimately, I also want to publish this information for the general public in a read-only fashion.

There are a few bugs yet in the program, but I am *really* impressed with what I have used so far. I don't think Hydra is intended to replace the functionality of MS Project or dotProject, but it is a very nice, straight-forward, easy to understand component for doing basic project tracking, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, this tool rocks! Congrats on this easy to use Project managing tool.

But, I still have a suggenstion. have you perhaps got in mind that Project Admins are able to send out mails to project team Members when something changes, or else that when project members change status that admin gets a mail?

keep up the good work :)

Owner's reply:

there will be a Project and User-Tracker in the Future.



And a note for everyone:

Some People have have discovered several Bugs and Problems in this Component.



There are some Hotfixes available in our Forum!



There will be an Update to 0.6.1 next anyway :)



Thanks,

Tobias

OK, first off let me just point out that I just installed this component 10 minutes ago so experience is limited at best. However from the looks of it, and after trying out the basic features, this appears to be pretty much exactly what I needed to keep track of multiple projects from within a Joomla environment. Not as extensive as dotProject and other stand alone alternatives (not that I need more features really) but extremely promising and useful! Big thanks to the devs!!

This is a much needed project management system for web developers and designers. Very easy to install. Great documentation for only being released. It's a 5 in my book.
