    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.

    Spinnaker suits well for applications which are stateless and can adapt to an immutable architecture of deployment. But for applications which are stateful and cannot afford to spin up new servers for every deployment doesn't go well with Spinnaker. It can handle only deployments which are VM based and cannot support deployments to serverless architecture like AWS Lambda etc.

    Pros
    IgniteTech
    • 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
    IgniteTech
    • 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.

    • It does NOT support CFN based deployments
    • Windows based systems finds it difficult to onboard to Spinnaker.
    • Pipeline level access authorisation is not there.
    • Support for EBS volume encryption is probably missing.
    • Attach/detach EBS volumes during deployments is difficult.
    • No support to deploy the artifacts without re-creating the servers. Only pure immutable deployment are allowed.
    • Open-source - so good and bad!
    • Spinnaker on its own has 10 underlying micro services. Managing Spinnaker needs a focussed platform approach.
    • User authentication is easy but authorisation management is not straight forward.

    I like JIRA a lot better than Fogbugz for many reasons. If I had a choice, I'd use JIRA every time
