PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
I love that the app is easy to set up and I can save filters to display all my issues and bugs clearly and track my tasks in another filter/view. The Kiln integration is useful as it allows me to source control management commits to a specific case. Kiln helps me balance ease with power and I can do a lot with it without spending a week on planning. The API is useful and we use it to enable our software to automatically submit bug reports in case of issues.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
My only complaint is FogBugz lacks features that would allow us to track our clients individually and monitor their information.

PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
We use Fogbugz to write wiki articles, feature requests, and bugs. The app is easy to learn and we can use it receive incoming emails from customers and tech support. We like that we can host the app locally. The Fogbugz website features in-depth articles on how to design plugins for modifications that can help your company. I also like the excellent search feature as I can search multiple fields simultaneously.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The basic functionalities are easy to use but the app offers multiple options and you need to do some trial and error to find out which features are most useful for your needs. Other bug tracking solutions offer two fields to determine the priority and severity of a bug, but FogBugz offers only the priority field.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We use the wiki functionality to store project info. We have used plugins built by other users which we found on the Fogbugz website to add extra useful features

PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
For me, the plus points are the excellent filter searching options and organization. The app is ideal for managing multiple milestones, sprints, and projects.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The learning curve is a bit steep and this can be difficult initially. Plus, we have more than 200,000 tickets and the app is slow because of this and the pages load slowly. This only worsens the learning curve.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We use FogBuz to organize our product management where there are plenty of moving parts to keep track of. The app also helps us to organize and manage our remote team, and to answer feedback and requests submitted by our users.

PROS & CONS
What are the best aspects of this product?
I appreciate the ease of use and the reporting features especially the evidence-based estimation tool. In my opinion, FogBugz is an excellent app for software development.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
The only disadvantage is it is hard to limit access to the app at a customer level.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We needed a system that provides a single view of all our development work. Fogbugz offers us this capability and has become our organization’s memory, providing our customers a single view of all their work, their current status, etc. Sprint burn down was clear and this made it easy to manage development. Finally, the app is flexible and makes the users accountable for their time management/actions. This helps us make effective use of the ability of the bright employees we have in our company.

What do you like best?
I like that I can show a new employee how to use Fogbugz in about 10 minutes. This software is super powerful in its simplicity. Our customer service team uses it to onboard new customers and open tickets. Project management uses it to assign bugs to developers and then to QA. It integrates with Git, so we can look up an old bug and immediately find the Git commit that is associated with it.
What do you dislike?I enjoy using the software, although I find that developers who are used to using Atlassian products find it lacking. Also, I am concerned that since it has been rebranded as Manuscript (about a year ago), it doesn't seem to receive as much attention. I'm noticing that this G2 page itself has not been updated to Manuscript... so I'm a bit worried that this software is not being maintained--but I'm not seeing that in the software itself, just noticing a steep downturn in communication and marketing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:This is a great system for small businesses. It's simple to set up and use. I helps organize processes and workflows. It's very easy to learn--which saves valuable time.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?It's a great ticketing system and helps Customer Service communicate with Development. It's super easy to set up and use. It's been very reliable.
