Bugzilla

Pros: The tool, Bugzilla is very useful and helpful for bug tracking. It is quite easy to file defects/issues, track the bugs based. We can easily update the assignee, dev, and we can create multiple sub-releases. We can easily update filters and reports can be fetched easily.

Cons: More fields can be included to make the tracking easy. Overall the quality of the bug tracking software is good.

Pros: It was quick and easy to report our bugs. I was able to enter the info necessary in a quick manner without spending a lot of time filling out unnecessary fields

Cons: I did find the interface to be a bit out of date. It seemed very 90's to me. I also had a hard time getting the reports out of the system

Overall: I was able to log bugs quickly for my team

Pros: 1. User friendly bug tracking tool.
2. One of the good tool to manage whole bug life cycle.
3. Simplest basic tool available in the market.

Cons: 1. takes more time to load
2. No features for project management.
3. Cannot delete posted comments.

Pros: Extremely easy user interface and feature rich product. Very easy to navigate throughout and quick response.

Cons: Found it difficult to set filters. Also faced some issues with content limit. Video are typically big in size.

Overall: It's really a good software to keep track of bugs filed in a project.

2.license fee not required
3.no limit to the number of licenses.
4.Can be easily installed as wel as maintain, except when migrating from one version to other.
5.It includes main features/fields that are needed to log a software bug/issue.
6Bugzilla was helpful for defect tracking and managing the entire the project and organization.

Cons: customizing dashboard according to users preference to be there as well as project level documentations Bugzilla was not helpful for more advanced features like linking defects when a specific requirement fails to complete.

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.

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

Pros: 1. Ability to create multiple projects and teams within the tool.
2. Define various roles and permissions are driven by roles.
3. Update status and assign bugs to specific users.

Cons: 1. The user interface can be made a little more appealing.
2. The summary interface can be enhanced by introducing a user controlled dashboard.

Pros: - Easy to navigate and to browse, organize, and track bugs.
- It can easily be customized to adapt to project particularities.

Cons: - Really outdated interface. It needs a serious refactoring.
- Importing test cases from .csv files is not straightforward.

Pros: Bugzilla is a functional issue-tracking system and it is free. It can be adapted to different needs fairly easily.

Cons: The user interface is the weakest part of this system. It is rather clumsy and confusing for the normal end user. That is unfortunate because that fact seems to dissaude those end users from reporting issues.

We have since moved on to other products.

Pros: This is decent, barebones bug management software. Easy to navigate and to browse, organise, and track bugs in software development.

Cons: Very old-school user interface. Tricky to integrate with more modern project/task management apps, although some of them are backwards-compatible with this tool.

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.

Pros: As an intern who was new to the technology development process in the real world, I found this tool to be intuitive.

Cons: The only issues that I encounter while using this tool were due to the fact that I needed to be brought up to speed on the terminology used by the verification engineers that I worked with and not related to the tool itself.

Pros: 1. Bug reporting and tracking is easy
2. Email notifications can be enabled
3. Sorting of bugs is easy

Cons: 1. Dashboard customization is not available
2. UI needs improvement because lot of scrolling fields are present

Pros: Feature and functionalities are quite good as compared to this other tool like JIRA. Various queries and number of feature provided are are self explanatory.

Cons: will be good if we can prepare "Help" Tutorial for this for new customer. This is easy to understand in current state but if a link to tutorials videos made user requires no external training

Pros: Below are the top 5 things that I like most about Bugzilla :
1. It is an open source widely used bug tracker
2. It is easy in usage and its user interface is understandable for people without technical knowledge
3. It easily integrates with test management instruments
4. It integrates with an e-mailing system
5. It automates documentation

Cons: 1. Sometimes it becomes difficult to manage logged errors
2. User interface could be improved
3. Bug numbers are unique in a particular installation

Overall: Enabled software delivery with superior quality code free from defects.

Pros: Graphical representation of bugs. Defect life cycle representation is good enough to add proper status of the bug .

Cons: User Interface (UI ) is not user friendly. Unable to understand the things initially. Requirement tracking mechanism is not there.

Overall: Easy tracking of bugs

Pros: We can log bug easily and have better functionality.
We can assign the bug to the respective person.
Developer has facility to change the resolved facility

Cons: I think UI type view of reported and resolved bug should be there.
Soeasily we can get the status of projects

Overall: Not need to keep the record of Bug in sense of excel sheet.
easily change the status of the bug. easily track the bug record.

Pros: Easy to use search options of searching any defect Sorting search results with severities and other fields.

Cons: Difficult to analyse logging of the defect with respect to different logs that being attached and managing these attachments with history.

Overall: Being a free tool it is easy for small companies to adapt with ease.

Pros: 1. E-mail notification alerts for bug and lots of configuration options for mail alerts
2. Filter options of all bugs made it easy to sort the bugs
3. Almost all options are available to raise a bug e.g. criticality, attachment options etc

Overall: 1. Tracking of bugs is made every easy
2. Advanced search option is excellent with lots of options available
3. E-mail alert feature is nice to have and good part is it is customizable

Pros: Its ease to use and install
it is an open source widely used bug tracker;
it is easy in usage and its user interface is understandable for people without technical knowledge;
it easily integrates with test management instruments;
it integrates with an e-mailing system;
it automates documentation

Cons: The UI is not that impressive, it should also contain manual for operation
If I have two products and I add a new bug to Product1, the bug number is 1.
If I then add a new bug to Product2, the bug number is sequential (ie. 2). In
this example there would be no bug number `2 for Product1. Ideally we would
want Product1 to have bug numbering sequentially specific to the product, so if there are 100 bugs for Product1 then the bugs are numbered from 1 to 100.

Overall: I was able to log the defects

Pros: -very simple to use software
-customization possible in various ways for user
-effective defect management and tracking to closure
-good user access management

Cons: -some cases workflow can be improved.
-can have improved reporting option in few cases.
-UI can be improved in many cases however works well for the purpose

Pros: Feature rich defect management tool that too with all possible customization for your project. Email notifications, bug tracking and comprehensive and bug reporting available . Report customization as per user choice is also available.

Cons: Integration with test case management tool can be provided with simple configurations. We should be able to generate a Release report just specifying the release number.

Overall: Free defect management tool which supported all possible customization for our project !

Pros: Best part of bugzilla is we can customize this as per business needs. It is a open source , free tool. only customer support and maintenance need money

Cons: As comparison of JIRA, its very less feature because JIRA supported agile fully but its doesn't. But use as per your need or convenience.

Pros: Extremely easy user interface and feature rich product. Very easy to navigate throughout and quick response.

Cons: Found it difficult to set filters. Also faced some issues with content limit. Video are typically big in size.

Pros: It can easily be customized and the states are clear. Functionality-wise, it worked well for tracking task items.

Cons: The UI is a bit outdated. I definitely had a decent amount of trouble importing test cases from CSV, so the ease of use here should improve.

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.

Pros: The basics are easy to use. Free and open source option is available, which is great for young tech startups.

Cons: Installation was a little tedious. Configuration is very complicated. Some critical features didn't work as expected, forcing us to migrate.

Overall: Open source bug tracking tool

Comments: I love bugzilla

Pros: it is easy in usage and its user interface is understandable for people without technical knowledge;it easily integrates with test management instruments,it automates documentation

Cons: its interface is too sophisticated, complain that it is hard to manage the logged in errors and that there are many defects in code of this instrument

Pros: easy to use; more options to choose - almost include everything which must be included in a bug report.

Cons: UI not so attractive: too-tiny line spaces, may add more space and some bright color rather than grey.

Comments: Overall, I like it a lot. Bugzilla is a great, helpful bug tracking tool and a project management platform.

Pros: I like nice user interface, It is very intuitive software, once I started using it, I did not have to put too much thought into it. I did not have to go through the training - it was easy to navigate.

Cons: I would like to see a better design, because this bug tracking system looks too plain on the front end. Some talented designers should be employed for that.

Comments: It's been very instrumental and handy in tracking and maintaining the bugs. Easy to segregate bugs based on the environment type, priority and product.

Comments: I am using this tool from past five years and I love it

Pros: 1. Free of cost with updates.
2. Easy of installation.
3. Browser compatible- with most of the varieties of standard ones.

Cons: 1. UI design not attractive.
2. Customization difficult.

Overall: This was the market pioneer for free-ware bug tracking. It is easy to set up and host on your office system.
Though the UI has a few things to be desired and you need to circumvent the lack of usability, but some good user training(which you will anyways be giving with process implementation with your team) helps a lot.

If you are looking for a free ware tool - esp where you need to start from scratch and have a limited budget, then look no further.

Major cons -
1. I felt the UI needs some improvement - alongwith Usability.
2. The other paid tools have good customizability - defining the workflows or even showing proper labels.

Overall Bugzilla has a proven track record of being a very good tool - esp for start-ups with less money and/or either a company or a new sub-department within the organization - where the management doesn't want to invest a lot of money.

But with good process definition and proper implementation(which will also help in long) these shortcomings can be overcome.

Though

Recommendations to other buyers: If you are on a shoe-string budget - this is God's blessing for you.

Pros: excellent layout

Cons: integration with other utilities

Overall: I oftenly use this tool and has been using this for a couple of years, I like its web platform like dashboard it has provided with the great ease of logging the bugs and tracking the bugs, Very easy to track the flow of the bug.

Pros: I like how Bugzilla offers many options and fields to apply for a particular bug. I like how it provides advanced search for bugs to quickly navigate.

Cons: I dislike the security model. Just recently there was a big breach in Bugzilla giving the attacker privileges to see secure bugs. Also, for a big project like Mozilla, it becomes difficult to navigate bugs easily. I also do not like the default review (Splinter) that is integrated with it. Also, it does not integrate nicely with Github.

Overall: Simple to use interface runs in any web browser. Details are granular enough to convey a basic idea or a complex analysis depending on the ability and willingness of the user.

Comments: Bugzilla provides a web interface where users can enters bugs, with there resolution status, severity, platform details. It provides color coding and open source as well.
