Bugzilla is a "Defect Tracking System" or "Bug-Tracking System". Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively. Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly become a favorite of thousands of organizations across the globe. Product demo can be found at https://bugzilla.ninja/ . Use of the "Request a Demo" button will be ignored; there doesn't appear to be a way to remove it from this page.

"Too basic, ugly interface, not the most intuitive."

1/5

What do you like best about Bugzilla?

It was free! It was also easy for our developers to understand, easy to identify bugs/issues, with comments, notes, etc. We enjoyed that you could add screenshots and comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugzilla?

It was no frills, and hard to use. The interface was not pretty. I could not identify how to set up work streams or assign / add followers. It seemed too basic for us. Other PM tools in my past have been much easier / robust for my teams need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bugzilla:

Be sure to map out exactly what you want from a Bug tracking software - as in a checklist of sorts. Then, review 3-5 and pick the one that fits your needs most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Challenging to use"

1/5

What do you like best about Bugzilla?

Bugzilla is not an ideal solution for our company it is hard to use for multiple group. The customization is not what we need for it to be. It works as a solution but could have many improvements to make it better. There should be better tracking and note availability. It is not easily searched as it is just by title. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugzilla?

Search ability is the biggest issue I have when using Bugzilla, it just searches the titles and that means that I need to know how someone else tables something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bugzilla solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving bugs within our platform or multiple customers. It means everything is in one place but not easily used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from David Miller of Bugzilla

[Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/bugzilla-review-137300/official_response/edit)

Bugzilla's search is not only by title. You can literally search almost anything in a bug, including the full text of the comments on it and most of the fields.
