I’ve used Bugzilla at two big projects in my company, and both times have loved how it’s handled our sprint planning, tracking, and review. It has good integrations, custom workflows, and can function well for internal and external use. I also like the Agile plug-ins which provide the ability to use SCRUM or Kanban to manage software projects. Bugzilla allows you to be quite organized, which can be crucial when working with hundreds of tickets. The tools are so in depth and complete, it's pretty amazing!
Pros
It is a great place for our development team to keep track of the cases they are dealing with.
Very easy to install and configure.
The ability to integrate with other softwares.
Cons
Editing flows is hard.
It can be challenging to navigate and slow occasionally.
Personally I don't like the reports and its formatting.
