RT vs Bugzilla

Mon Mar 6 13:57:05 PST 2006

Danny,

I am not familiar with Bugzilla, and have avoided it because I was 
not looking for a bug tracker. I remember looking at several 
packages, and because I wanted something that would support 
everything going through e-mail, I tried OTRS. I was pretty pleased 
with it, in particular the ability to customize pretty finely. I 
think I found it to have features that matched my requirements better 
than RT. For a variety of reasons, I did not go past the 
proof-of-concept phase.
