- cstejerean 18y agoI would choose an open source product, but trac and bugzilla are both terrible. hopefully some better options emerge (or I become aware of them).
- kirubakaran 18y agoHow about Mantis? http://www.mantisbt.org/ http://www.mantisbt.org/ Demo: http://demo.mantisbt.org/my_view_page.php http://demo.mantisbt.org/my_view_page.php
- tomjen 18y agoMantis is okay - we used it for a (school) project last year, but for what we needed it for it was overkill.
- kirubakaran 18y agoI use a plain text file.
- modoc 18y agoMantis is an improvement over Bugzilla, for sure. However we saw huge performance problems once we hit the 50k issue level. It was also much more difficult to modify than Jira (which we moved to). Although I guess among free options Trac and Mantis would be my top two.
- modoc 18y agoJira is fantastic, but not open source (although you do get a copy of the source when you buy it).
- tjpick 18y agoI'm currently using GNUe DCL and it's working out pretty well for me. We also use it at my day job (team environment) and it's pretty good. Can be a little hard to get up and running and is a bit rough in places. Used fogbugz at previous job and I'd take DCL over it - fogbugz is not too shabby though.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoI, for one, am curious to play with the evidence-based scheduling: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/26.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/26.html If that feature is useful at all it will be worth $200 per seat. Indeed, even if the data do nothing but tell me what I already know, but the software can turn that data into pretty graphs that I can put on slides and wave in front of my clients as I pitch projects, it will be worth $200 per seat. Clients looooove realistic estimates.
