Ease of use, all the features are available for the dev and testing team to track bugs. Mail notification, mail notification customisation. Searching and preset search. I literally like all the features in this product.

A great, but isolated bugtracker

Creating and finding bugs in a matter of seconds, completely hassle-free.

PROS

Up until about a year ago, Bugzilla was the bug tracking application used in our company. To cut right to the chase: as a user / bug reporter, Bugzilla was a dream to work with. It's a school book example of how great free and open source software can be. The interface is no nonsense. Very simple and clean, everything does what you expect it to do. No need to navigate through different submenus to do even the simplest of tasks. No options hidden behind mysterious hamburger menus or gear wheel icons. The most common things are but a click away. This implies there is no or only minor explanation needed to get started with Bugzilla. Even some of our sales guys were easily and independently filing new bugs or searching for existing bugs, and that's definitely saying something. One of the key aspects of a bug tracker is definitely the performance of its search functionality. This is a point where OTRS definitely scores. Its search is very fast and precise. Usually, jotting a keyword or two in the "Simple Search" is enough to find exactly what you need. For the rare cases where it doesn't, the "Advanced Search" definitely does the job, while really being "advanced" but in no way "complicated". Little secret: even though all data from Bugzilla was copied to our new bug tracker when we made the switch, I still tend to go first to Bugzilla if I need to find an old bug. Simply takes me less time to find what I need compared to our new system.

CONS

I do understand why we moved away from Bugzilla. It is merely a bug tracker. Bugs are meant to be linked to tickets, added to sprint plannings, maybe assigned to epics together with new features. You get the point. Bugzilla wasn't made for that. Our new platform can do it all and more, in one single system.

Best Old Bug management tool ever

Based on my experience Bugzilla is good option for start up business. In Budget with all features in one tool for defect management Easy to learn and understand able for a team. Less Training required

PROS

First up all it's free tool and easy to understand since it mostly focus on bug management . -No manual needed to start up in this tool. -Customized User interface for better user experience - Team can easily fetch bug reports with all details and circulate - Non technical person can also understand and use it without knowing full functionality -Best for small companies who wants to start up with less budget

CONS

-Apart from freeware tool sometimes it was having issues like searching and fetching report issue , getting freeze or suddenly stopped if clicked multiple times. -It could have been better if different features have been offered other than Bug reporting solely like Test cases management. -User interface can be improved with easy understanding of reporting of bugs and there details

Good option for test case management

Its a great tool, if you have time and resources to install it and maintain it, it will serve you well in all your projects.

PROS

This is free software, that you can create your own server for it, and have total control over it. Configuration, users, permissions, etc. The only limit is the resources you are willing to invest in it.

CONS

Since this is free open source software, you have all the responsibility for maintaining your implementation of it. There is a big community using it, but you won't have direct support.

Best open source bug tracking solution

Bugzilla is best open source solution for tracking issues. I have used it my previous company and was quite satisfied with it.

PROS

Tracking issues in better way is one of the most challenging task in software industry. Bugzilla not only by default provides one window solution for bug tracking but also since it is open source solution i can customize it for my need. Highly recommended if you want to design customize flow for issues tracking.

CONS

Although bugzilla provides all the features to handle tasks and user stories but product name give impression that it is specific to bugs only. This create confusion among new employees and they hesitate in using it for tasks and user stories.

Track your bugs with Bugzilla

PROS

Bugzilla is an open source tools that I use to efficiently track issues. It comes with tons of useful features like: email notifications and reports & charts It is very customizable flexible. It's also not too difficult to use. Bugzilla gives me the ability to collaborate with my team without setting up meetings and the ease of logging, tracking and closing defects.

CONS

I think the UI could be better improved because the themes that are available online aren't the best. Bugzilla is an old tool so some additional work need to be done so that it can better align with the Agile practice.

Great bug tracking tool!

Overall, I had an excellent experience with this tool. It is very easy to setup and use!

PROS

Bugzilla has a simple, intuitive, and easy to use interface. It provides all the standard features you would expect from a tracking tool, such as tracking versions, resolution progress and history, filters, basic and advanced searching, and others. Many aspects of the tool are customizable. It is easy to install and set up, even for novice users. Email notifications are very useful as well when you want to get notified of updates to certain bug tickets.

CONS

Although the interface is made very simplistically, it is a bit visually unappealing to me. The GUI makes it look like software from two decades ago.

USed to love it

It was helping to keep bugs and all the issues, but it was seriously lacking a lot of functionality that any software company needs. No idea if it's any better today as I've been only using Jira for years by now.

PROS

i didnt know any better and we could only wish for something like Jira :) It didnt exist then, so Bugzilla kind of worked for us, even though it was very buggy in those years.

CONS

It was failing pretty often, not much functionality at all, only some very basic functions. Comparing to Jira today, it was a very beginning of such products.

Bugzilla for bugs

I have used it for almost one year and have very good experience for this bug tracking software.

PROS

Bug management software basically used to create and track the bugs in the application . It chart and graphs feature is very useful to see the progress of the bugs.

CONS

It is good but now their is many software who handle the bugs and project in single frame , so we do not need to purchase the software for only bug tracking.

Great at Tracking bugs

Easily track bugs and ability to report bugs on project update. The email notification was great to see status of individual bugs The ease of use was a no-brainer The cost was relatively cheap compared to others in the market

PROS

Bugzilla has been around for years and I have used it on many projects. The ease of use of logging bugs and email notifications sent automatically to preset groups to be aware of bugs. Viewing status of bugs is an ease as assigned bugs get updated by bug owners. Another great tool included with Bugzilla is the reporting matrix, which allows the Test Lead and other Project leads to view all bugs and statuses.

CONS

The GUI is quite old looking but the web app does do what it needs to. There are more superior applications out there with more functionality and depending on what you were intending to use the application for you may opt for something like Jira.

A versatile tool to log and track tickets.

PROS

I find bugzilla easy to use with a good set of options which helped me to log defects and track them. This was extensively used in my previous workplace and the general consensus was positive. The bug status and resolution parameters with a set of APIs made it easy to have a wrapper around it and use it extensively in our automation. The notifications and search filters came in handy more often than I expected.

CONS

The UI has not aged well and looks dated. It needs a refresh which could attract more users. This tool has potential and could be used to track other issues and stories. Could be bettered to fit the agile model.

Easy to work with open source software

PROS

The best part about bugzilla is about it being free and open source which gives smaller companies with limited resources, power to install and maintain their own of bug tracking with bugzilla

CONS

The free version had a lot of limitations when it came to tracking the life cycle of the bugs and at the same time linking it with Agile tracking software was a pain too since we had to keep using soft links everywhere

CONS

User Interface needs to be more robust and user-friendly.

Sadly Firefox Development tools is on, but I prefer this one

Really good experience, I keep using it on Firefox.

PROS

It was the first developer helper when firefox didn't used its own. I like the way it displays services benchmarks and its console better.

CONS

It is not a cons per se, but I would like it to mash up with Firefox Development tool and get the best of the two worlds for the users.
