Considered Both Products	FogBugz Verified User Director Chose FogBugz 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Becky Jewell Laughton Customer Experience Chose FogBugz I like Fogbugz a LOT because of the compressed list view. This was essential to me when my team and I were working on anywhere between 100 -1000 cases. I can't imagine having 1000 Jira tickets to manage the processes that we were managing. It's much easier to work with a … Incentivized Helpful? Gillian Hughes QA Analyst Chose FogBugz I like JIRA a lot better than Fogbugz for many reasons. If I had a choice, I'd use JIRA every time. Incentivized Helpful? Ted Shimizu Digital Producer Chose FogBugz Bugzilla is probably the closest to Fogbugz and is a bit more refined. Bugzilla however is very much geared towards programmers where FogBugz has a broader audience. Jira is much more invovled and also geared towards programmers. Workfront is a heavy system if you are looking … Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Ignite Technologies FogBugz has been a very useful tool to our organization, and much preferred over other options we reviewed, mainly JIRA. There are still some improvements needed, but with the fairly recent acquisition by DevFactory, we have a great deal of hope for what is in store given DevFactory's focus and transparency. It seems like both DevFactory and FogBugz customers are eager for substantial improvements on the front-end, but there is/was a great deal of backend housecleaning that definitely needed to take place first.

Pros	Ignite Technologies Tasks, Subtasks, and notes. All three of these areas were critical for our team. Tasks in Fogbugz were a bit easier to see than in more bug based software like Trello or JIRA The entire screen is used to view a task or case. Clicking on a task or case will open up and take up the entire screen, aside from the sidebar nav columns. I like to see details and I think Fogbugz does this very well, using up as much digital real estate as possible. Flowcharting in Fogbugz with Creately is nice - instead of getting an exterior flowchart software like Lucidchart, Creately works right in Fogbugz.

Cons	Ignite Technologies The simplicity of a single admin type user is not great because anyone who can create a job or client in the system, can also add and delete users. Content and User administrative rights should be separated. There are ways to change the terminology/lexicon within the tool, but we are not able to get it to work even after reaching out to tech support. So we are forced to use the system terminology that doesn't match up to our company making training a bit difficult. There is a subscribe function that you can opt into, there should be a way to add subscribers as you create a new task. Ted Shimizu Digital Producer Read full review

Return on Investment	Ignite Technologies Saves time by quickly allowing Developers to make the necessary notes without getting bogged down in bloated UIs Has allowed us to look back easily and see the exact code changes made for the exact Case to aid in decisions for current changes, increasing the certainty of the decided path, without regression Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
