RT vs Bugzilla

Mon Mar 6 10:43:28 PST 2006

RT is definitely a better ticketing choice than Bugzilla.  There are 
quite a few other options out there, but in my last position I 
implemented RT after a fairly long search of what was available at the 
time (early 2005).  It worked very well, was simple to install and 
configure, was reliable, and had a long list of "3rd party" add-ons.
