Daylite vs. FogBugz

Well suited for any size company which needs CRM management. Easy to use. Great for individuals or teams that use Apple products. Daylite and ios expert integration has been key in capturing leads from our website into the Daylite database, plus then if they opt into email marketing, they are entered into the MailChimp database. The web forms also automate the creation of opportunities and are linked with the contacts/companies. Sales Managers with geographical responsibilities can easily filter contacts or projects based on these regions so they only see what they need. Daylite is not appropriate for Windows users.

Fogbugz is great for case-and-task based businesses. If your business has hundreds of weekly anticipated tasks that exist, such as processes to get files converted, Fogbugz can manage these processes very well. For our team, we knew each week that we would have about 500 tasks or orders to get processed. Fogbugz helped us break down these projects, get them assigned evenly throughout the team, and easily see who is working on what task. FogBugz is also good for tracking unanticipated tasks like bugs, making notes, flowcharts, and categorizing if the problem is a bug, feature request, etc. For us, it was just the best at nailing down those anticipated tasks.

• Now I can easily process my emails, I can store them even I can pin them and make a sticky note so that whenever I have a meeting I can better assist the client.
• This tool provides me numerous integrations to associate with Mac.
• It is very easy to customize as I have customized the notification and alerts.

• Good for documenting
• Good for attaching things

• Its scheduling feature needs to be fixed as it fails in alerting us.
• Data migrations are miserable.
• Its price is quite unfair and unjust.

Incentivized

• Workflow capability is very limited to the original implementation, could use a refresh and extension of the capabilities
• UI/UX needs improvement. This was in the works prior to purchase by DevFactory, and has taken a back seat to backend improvements that rightfully needed to be fixed first.
• Pricing model doesn't fit our usage very well, so we're paying for full-featured users for everyone even though the majority of Users only need to submit Cases and modify the Wikis, and our small percentage of Users are in Dev and need all features.

While we have enjoyed using Daylite, we have been looking into more expanded services that allow us to integrate our technologies further.

Easy to use for Mac OS users. Not possible for Windows Users. I will still give a rating of 10, though.

Daylite is dragging us towards success and giving reliable features. The developer and technical team listen to the feedback about the platform and correct the errors and bugs in the limited time frame. It helps in managing the project's progress, track the overall completion of project, plan, creates and performs with having a feature of adding a reminder to the task and helps in easily managing the finances too.

FogBugz is made for the Developers who actually use it every day, while JIRA is made for the C-Suite who oversees them but has little idea of the finer points of daily dev tasks. In reality, most don't fit into the mold of JIRA tickets, and the summarized information that C-Suite is reviewing is incomplete or skewed. There is also an outstanding issue since 2004 that JIRA refuses to implement despite wide user support, the merging of tickets. You can see the open ticket with the JIRA team here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-3592

Daylite has worked well for our small company trying to get a client base, but as we grow we are wanting more integrations that are unavailable

• Daylite has been very helpful for new employees to answer their own questions about contacts/passwords, etc.
• We found the tiny notification bell to be weak, sometimes a project comes in with a tight deadline and we have to double-check and ask an employee if they saw the notification. More time would be saved by just chatting about the project and its expectations.
• A huge benefit is the institutional knowledge that can be had by reading past projects. We've tracked everything, so the history is there.

• Less downtime of jobs. It is each person's responsibility to check their list to see if they have any pending work.
• When people are out sick or busy, a supervisor can easily shift work from one person to another who many have time to cover work.
• Management has a quick view into seeing what is happening with a job and can use it as a tool to request addiional resources as needed.
