## Trac Reviews
  ### 1. Slightly out of date bug tracker, but easy to setup and run

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Trac?**

Setup is quick and it needs little resources. Running multiple instances on a single small server is no problem.

**What do you dislike about Trac?**

Editing tickets is quite cumbersome, attaching files or screenshots needs a lot of clicks in comparison to other, more modern bug trackers like Atlassian JIRA.

**Recommendations to others considering Trac:**

If your budget is limited, trac can be a great solution, however, other bug trackers are way easier to use and handle.

**What problems is Trac solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's a easy bug tracker and free software.

  ### 2. Evaluation of Trac

Integration of Git and Wiki pages is good

**What do you dislike about Trac?**

one more tool in the list and the list grows

**What problems is Trac solving and how is that benefiting you?**

evaluating release process for frequent builds

  ### 3. Ultimately didn't not need that much complexity

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Patrick G. | Chief Executive Officer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2017

**What do you like best about Trac?**

That it was open source and had a vibrant community for support.

**What do you dislike about Trac?**

Too fiddly. Too many options to get right before you can start.

**Recommendations to others considering Trac:**

If you are willing to put in the time, Trac is one of the most flexible solutions out there.

**What problems is Trac solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Software development feature and bug tracking. Switch to Trello which seems better for our small team.

  ### 4. where developers and managers can understand themselves

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Trac?**

I like it's simplicity to setup on a debian system, it's maintained by community all you need is to use apt-get install trac and upgrade from time to time. The bugtracker is simple fast but enough in most of the cases.

**What do you dislike about Trac?**

The wiki markup is not standard and can't be easily exported, I would make sense to support markdown and make it optionally editable using a SCM



**Recommendations to others considering Trac:**

Redmine tookover part of trac users, I don't know exactly all the new features of trac, but I wish a system that can store all its content into a git tree in markup text format.


**What problems is Trac solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Team cooperation
