Top Rated FogBugz Alternatives
Fogbugz provided a great project management 'social network' for our company in its early days. Users on the platform ranged all over the company, from junior to executives regardless of their function. Fogbugz allowed us to track and classify tickets based on our needs (from feature requests to roof-on-fire problems) , and keep relevant stories going for future updates or tickets. Notifications and updates from Fogbugz were highly configurable, and FogBugz also allowed integration with code management software when necessary.
Notifications and daily digests of happenings around the company were helpful in understanding the day-to-day at a glance, which can be helpful for product managers or other oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The layout is not very well done, it wastes a lot of space that could be used for other things or data points. Sometimes the sorting of tickets and projects got a little messy depending on how many active categories were present. There could be more integrations with other productivity software as well.
Some configurations and settings were difficult to setup for end-users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FogBugz is easy to use and great for project management. I like it because it allows me to follow the changes that are taking place in the development of our software, to have a better perception. The best thing is that since FogBugz is online, we can access it from anywhere and synchronize projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing I don't like about FogBugz in terms of functionality. His license seems very expensive to me, since all are aimed at a maximum of 5 users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can show a new employee how to use Fogbugz in about 10 minutes. This software is super powerful in its simplicity. Our customer service team uses it to onboard new customers and open tickets. Project management uses it to assign bugs to developers and then to QA. It integrates with Git, so we can look up an old bug and immediately find the Git commit that is associated with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy using the software, although I find that developers who are used to using Atlassian products find it lacking. Also, I am concerned that since it has been rebranded as Manuscript (about a year ago), it doesn't seem to receive as much attention. I'm noticing that this G2 page itself has not been updated to Manuscript... so I'm a bit worried that this software is not being maintained--but I'm not seeing that in the software itself, just noticing a steep downturn in communication and marketing.

I really like the UI and linking between cases, the tracking becomes easy. We have also integrated this with test rail so yes integration works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it acts slow and the other problems I have faced is working of filters. The results given by filters are not very accurate sometimes. On the list view, it shows filtered by X whereas when you open the ticket the status is something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fogbugz is a very simple and easy to access bug logging tool. It is very convenient to take a report of the all the bugs logged so far in a very quick manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unlike other Defect logging tool it is not upgrading with as per industry standards like In Jira we have Jira stories for scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gets the job done. I like the ability to sort emails that come in to customized categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's functional, but it's not the most aesthetic design. There are some things that could be improved to make it more organized. We ended up using FogBugz for most of our work but tracking it on Workfront since that better allowed us to organize it the way we wanted to have it organized.

Easily setup and manage Mercurial based-code repositories. Easy to setup mercurial clients (TortoiseHg) to push and pull to Kiln.
Web-based file and changeset diff-views allow code to be quickly browsed and reviewed.
Built in web-hooks for Fogbugz and Pivotal Tracker (we use both of these for issue/bug tracking) allow commit messages to auto-post to project management systems.
Although we don't utilize it fully, the Code Review system provides an easy way for developers to comment on commits and changesets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not really a deal breaker, but Kiln does not offer webhooks for some of the modern software development management tools such as JIRA. It may be because of the version we are using (v2.9.61.0) which is fairly outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The powerful tools within Kiln; and the ability to oversee massive projects, and the detailed tools to investigate changesets and history are some of the best features.
But Kiln's cross-compatibility with FogBugz and Trello are absolutely amazing, and probably the best feature; it helps to tie together the project management and client communication sides of our version control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kiln's user interface often seems a bit dated to me, and sometimes it can be difficult to compare two particular changesets if any two specific changes need to be compared, you usually have to track down the revision ID. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
