Bugzilla
ü It provides better customization of report
queries, and has much more powerful reporting code.
ü Some excellent statistics might take a minute
to generate in Bugzilla.
ü Setting
up scheduled, automated emails with saved searches is an excellent way of
reminding someone about bugs that need some action taken. There is also a
default available to remind yourself about bugs that have sat around too long.
ü Bugzilla-Flags. The ability to flag (or
“label”) a bug and run searches off of those flags is a feature that I have
come to rely on. I can set a bug as “follow-up” or “possible-fix-needs-testing”
or “blocking-some-release”. The ability to set labels like that makes bug
management and reporting a lot easier.
ü Advanced
search interface, providing more dynamic options. JavaScript is effectively
used to update the advanced search panel fields when you make certain
selections. It’s a bit easier to create new searches as well as edit existing
items, and it’s easier to access searches you’ve saved.
ü Bugzilla displays a page that confirms the
change, but also shows either the bug you just edited or the next bug on the
list, reducing the number of pages I need to click though.
ü Bugzilla has a single view page that allows you
edit any field you have without clicking extra buttons.
Advantages:

Disadvantages:
·
Lazy processing.

Mantis
ü Mantis can show some excellent statistics by
default
ü Mantis
sends update emails when actions are taken on bugs, which is a great feature to
have.
ü I don’t see any type of automated email
reminder system in Mantis. The lack of
this feature is the one thing that really makes using Mantis difficult.
ü Mantis allows for saving of “filters” but
that’s about it. While useful, it requires a bit more work when saving and
using multiple filters. Also, I don’t believe that mantis allows you to
bookmark your search.
ü Mantis seems to have several steps in a process
that don’t need to be there. I don’t want an entire page to tell me “Operation
Successful” after I do something.
ü When I view a bug in Mantis, I need to click an
edit button before I can edit it, but by default, not all of the fields are
available to edit. I need to click edit advanced in order to edit every field
available.
ü Mantis doesn’t have the ability to connect with
CVS.
ü In mantis you need to edit a php file in order
to change some of the field options, as well as the more advanced options.
