MantisBT is very intuitive and straightforward if your team does not have much need for customization or integrations with other software. MantisBT is a solid, reliable database for tracking bugs and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MantisBT?

Let's get the obvious out of the way - the interface is dated. Usually this isn't an issue, but when you're working intensively with a specific software, aesthetics are an unexpected yet appreciated aspect. Additionally, my team has found that when needing more flexibility (integrations, workflows, etc) MantisBT requires much more technical acumen to implement the desired changes.
