MantisBT is open source, that means that you can go in and change anything you don't like. It has all the basic things that a bug tracker should have but may lack in advanced features. It's easy to administer and configure. And it's free (there's a paid hosted version available). The risk of trying MantisBT is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is not very nice and not very fast. Some plugins are not very integrated and some others are very slow. In my experience, integrations with other systems are either unavailable or very hard to set up. What really could shine, but falls short, is integration with git or mercurial (or any other vcs). Even though there are some plugins for that, setting that up is not very easy and it takes a lot of time. A system to handle mercurial patches and do code review would make mantis a great product.

I am able to manage all my projects and tasks for each project in one place. I use the system as an archive of all past projects and current projects. I'm able to easily sort and search by topic/project and am able to easily added notes and new information. Because I have a large team, I'm also able to transfer projects based on volume in or to redistribute work loads. It woks well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have any complaints on the product. It does it's job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface was easy to use and allowed us to communicate and address issues effectively with a number of team members on the client's end. This resulted in the launch of the website going smoothly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our team did not find anything we disliked about using MantisHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We deployed Mantis ourselves. We had no problem, it was very easy to do. Mantis is easy to use. It allows us to manage perfectly the monitoring of bugs and developments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing I don't like! It is a very functional and easy to use ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it is a tool without superfluous functionalities. They are all useful and very well thought out. I particularly appreciate the filters that are very practical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I don’t like is the interface. It could be improved to make the use of the tool more enjoyable for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I use the "Synthesis" tab a lot. As a project manager, he offers me an overview of many aspects such as the number of Mantis open per project, number of open Mantis, number of fixed Mantis, statistics by developers ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The "Synthesis" tab does not have a filter. I just have statistics on the whole since the tool was put in place. It might be useful to add a filter by date. That would allow me to have more reliable statistics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mantis is very simple to use. it allows to easily follow several projects, especially thanks to filters that are very well thought out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mantis is not easy to understand especially for the non-technical person. For example, the concept of child class and parent class is not obvious to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mantis is an excellent bug tracking tool. It is simple to use and has many features like the insertion of a bug and details about it, assignment, filter system ... and it is free ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like the filter system. There are often bugs and the result is not coherent with what I asked. I often have to repeat the process several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MantisBT allows us to structure our different projects.
Each team has its own dedicated space on MantisBT and manages it in its own way.
It is also a good analytical tool that allows us to see what we have done right and wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search with filters is not perfect. There are often bugs and the results are sometimes strange... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MantisGT is a simple tool with the necessary functionalities to follow developments.There are no unnecessary features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface (UI) is not intuitive and looks older. It's written in lowercase. The colors are not nice.The UI is not user-friendly. I think a non-technical person might have difficulty using it.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like Mantic Bug tracker. Mantis Bug Tracker is a free and open source, web-based bug tracking system. The most common use of MantisBT in our company is to track software defects.
It is easy to create task, easy to control and review and the best thing that you got all update to email so no need to check the site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
some settings features are hard to change, the process is a little bit complecated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've been using Mantis BT to create and assign development tasks for about 5 years hosted on a local server. We have over 15,000 issues and related images and 35 developers and product managers actively adding and managing tickets. On a Saturday morning a few weeks ago or server s#$%t the bed and I had 24 hours to get things running again. I had a backup as of that Friday. I contacted the Mantis Hub staff that morning to see if they could help. Long story short they had us up and running on Mantis Hub by Sunday afternoon with all issues and all staff accounts intact - I sent out the new URL and we were business as usual on Monday morning and now I don't have to manage another server in-house - should have moved over to Mantis Hub years ago. If I could give the Mantis support people a 20 above, I would happily do it. Great work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to complain about - meets all our development needs and has for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mantis es mi herramienta de trabajo principal, lo uso para hacer seguimiento de calidad a los proyectos de desarollo de software en los que trabajo. Es sencillo de implementar, su interfaz es muy visual al ordenar las incidencias según su estado y se enlaza con Testlink de manera correcta para llevar una trazabilidad mucho más explícita. Posee roles de usuarios según responsabilidades lo cual permite hacer seguimiento al equipo completo. Mantis es una solucion eficiente si trabajas en QA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
La interfaz a estas alturas ya se nota un poco anticuada. El modulo para exportar las incidencias es muy pobre, se exporta en un documento plano sin ningún tipo de formato. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
allows to manage in an orderly manner the incidents in the development process helping the software quality and streamlining processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the configuration of the application is not very friendly, it is necessary to have a technical knowledge of the components of Mantis for the creation of new profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is best bug tracking tool right now with open source. you can manage all the QA team on there by tracking they bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you using this is first time than it is tough on beginning after you feel great to use this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1) It is a open source bug tracking tool.
2) Best thing which I like most is: it is easy to use and easily understandable.
3) It's in-built feature of reports helps us to get effective reports for specific issues.
3) It also support database testing which is also a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I didn't find any bug while working on it but Configuration of application is complex; requires some technical knowledge to configure it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use Mantis Hub which is a SaaS product utilising Mantis Bug Tracker.
We chose Mantis Hub because it has a very simple and clean user interface but has all the functionality we need from our issue management tool.
For us, it was the best issue management tool in terms of user experience - the navigation is very intuitive, raising an issue is quick, and its general look and feel makes the product stand out from the alternatives we trialled.
From an administrative perspective, it's very quick and easy to create new projects, as well as bulk loading new users. This is very handy when we need to create a project for a new client coming onto our service.
The support service from Mantis Hub is fantastic and has removed any headaches relating to hosting and maintenance. On the rare occasion we've raised an issue, the response and resolution from the support team have been very prompt and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a lot! It would be nice to have more integrations with other SaaS products (mainly test and project management tools) but this hasn't impacted us. They have published APIs so - if required - we could integrate with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how you can search for a project by its project number or name and it will narrow down all of the submitted issues to just the information related to that project. It helps to see what tickets are open or closed for a particular project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when I submit a report, it says I forgot to fill in one of the required parts and to select the back button to make the change. I select the back button and it does not go back to the report (like it should), but instead it completely deletes it and goes to the "My View" then I have to redo the entire ticket. That is very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Bug tracking now easy with different colors for different states, MantisBT is open source for customization. It stores a permanent record of performance, Time spent on the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Subscription Price needs to review. Need to include more features for project management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it can keep and sort all issues found with a project. Then, once the testing is complete, I am able to go back and sort to see exactly what was changed for a single project. Keeps the number of Post-It notes to a minimum and keeps thing organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Entering an issue into Mantis takes a while. There are several fields to fill out and that can take some time. That being said, the benefits far outweigh the cost of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MantisBT is a very good bug tracking software. We've deployed it in our own server and worked perfectly. The best thing is that it is open source, so we forked it and brought it to our needs. Very nice UI, simple and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If I can compare it to Jira which I also used, it doesn't provide the same support for the teams. Actually, in the latest version of Mantis that I used, there were no teams available, which is difficult for many small teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
es muy bueno para la gestión de proyectos, para el seguimiento y asignación de tareas. ofrece estadisticas completas por muchos aspectos distintos. además es muy intuitivo y la interfaz es muy sencilla. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
la sencillez de la interfaz es quizás el mayor de los problemas, parece una aplicación web de los 90, digamos que en ciertos aspectos se podría mejorar mucho. Visualmente un poco anticuado, y en cuanto a funcionamiento en ocasiones es un poco tedioso pese a ser tan sencillo e intuitivo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
