FogBugz Reviews

FogBugz is easy to use and great for project management. I like it because it allows me to follow the changes that are taking place in the development of our software, to have a better perception. The best thing is that since FogBugz is online, we can access it from anywhere and synchronize projects.

There's nothing I don't like about FogBugz in terms of functionality. His license seems very expensive to me, since all are aimed at a maximum of 5 users.

The learning curve is short with this software. It has very robust features for software management. I recommend it, for small work teams.

FogBugz has given us different benefits such as version control of the software we have in our catalogs, as well as has encouraged collaboration with my team. Without a doubt, we can better monitor the progress of our projects.

Fogbugz is a very simple and easy to access bug logging tool. It is very convenient to take a report of the all the bugs logged so far in a very quick manner.

Unlike other Defect logging tool it is not upgrading with as per industry standards like In Jira we have Jira stories for scenarios.

With the help of Fogbugz it is very efficient to track the records of defect logged release wise. Easy to access and cost effective.

Stability and usability are solid. It seamlessly integrates with our Mercurial source control repos. The hosted version has a feature called Harmony that allows every repository to be accessed via Git and/or Mercurial. Each user can choose their own DVCS regardless of what other users on the same project/repository are using.

We are using the on-premise version, and there seems to be a lack of new development on that version. The hosted version is getting new features while the on-premise version is stagnating. In particular, I would like to see the Harmony feature added to the on-premise version. It is a killer feature that allows every repository to be accessed via Git and/or Mercurial. Each user can choose their own DVCS regardless of what other users on the same project/repository are using.

If your company is comfortable with the hosted version, I would recommend that over the on-premise version. The hosted version is updated more frequently and has newer features.

Integrated source control, code reviews, issue tracking, bug reports.

FogBugz has a simple and intuitive interface, which makes bug tracking and project management very easy to use. It also offers strong case tracking with clear workflows, helping teams stay organized and efficient.

One thing I don’t like about FogBugz is that It can be less flexible when it comes to customization and integrations, which makes it harder to fit into more dynamic workflows.

FogBugz helps organize bug tracking, task management, and project visibility in one place, so nothing slips through the cracks. It benefits me by keeping work structured, improving team coordination, and making it easier to track progress and resolve issues faster.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Documentations of projects,

I really like the UI and linking between cases, the tracking becomes easy. We have also integrated this with test rail so yes integration works well.

Sometimes it acts slow and the other problems I have faced is working of filters. The results given by filters are not very accurate sometimes. On the list view, it shows filtered by X whereas when you open the ticket the status is something else.

It's an easy to use tool which can be integrated with other tools so yes you can go for it.

Tracking of work items become easy, so nothing is missed and collaboration between teams.

Fogbugz provided a great project management 'social network' for our company in its early days. Users on the platform ranged all over the company, from junior to executives regardless of their function. Fogbugz allowed us to track and classify tickets based on our needs (from feature requests to roof-on-fire problems) , and keep relevant stories going for future updates or tickets. Notifications and updates from Fogbugz were highly configurable, and FogBugz also allowed integration with code management software when necessary.

Notifications and daily digests of happenings around the company were helpful in understanding the day-to-day at a glance, which can be helpful for product managers or other oversight.

The layout is not very well done, it wastes a lot of space that could be used for other things or data points. Sometimes the sorting of tickets and projects got a little messy depending on how many active categories were present. There could be more integrations with other productivity software as well.

none. I did not find any thing unlike. Bug searching can be improved.
