factoHR vs. YouTrack

For collaboration between Support and Engineering/QA teams, YouTrack has been really helpful in communicating bugs and their impact to customers. Once we had a maturing Product Management team, however, YouTrack became less effective for customer feature requests. Because FRs have a longer lifecycle than bugs and need deeper understanding, we moved FRs into another tool that is owned by product managers.

YouTrack is more cost effective than all the commercial options. It's way more powerful and easier to use than the Open Source ones. It's a good middle ground and it does everything we need. Our software projects are of moderate complexity and YouTrack handles them well. Likewise, when it comes to external users, we've had good feedback from clients. Many of these clients are non-technical and have expressed their relief at not having to use something like Jira which is often quite impregnable for such users.
