| Maybe just my mass of plugins but FF3.6 isn't loading tenderapp, while chrome just fine. s'pose could be google's search redirect playing funny with requestpolicy, but am confused :~/ Apart from pricing, what's better than FogBugz, in terms of your decision? I can't find a straight features page, though straight to API faq so that's good.Seems to be Ruby, whilst Fog has XML and presumably, being .net a few other interfaces. What confuses me is that OP wanted or hinted at a desire for a expanded feature set that Fog doesn't apparently have. Which are they that Tender gives? (I got the API point, that's good, but Fog being based on the CLR would give more ways to extend it if you took the site licensed version instead of the hosted version. Also nitpicking, but Fog for the site install prices much more nicely than the on-demand version if you've >5 users. I'm just utterly confused as to what was the OP's question was - it's so utterly vague - and led me to ramble off in different directions above. So what's the comparative benefit? I'm a fan of Joel Spolsky's writing, and have evaluated Fog online, from POV of whether it would be useable by non programmer staff as comfortably as i'd like. but i'm not yet a customer as you might guess from my above psts i've interest to do things which aren't standard for a code shop. Basically, i know the value i get is in much deeper planning and i'd have to write a lot of what's desired by my company, meanwhile Fog looks robust enough to use it as a way of pulling together a few things which aren;t totally out of its design intent. Outlook integration is a useful thing not so much for management but for syncing nicely with the cell phones we use, e.g. I mean i'm not shilling for Fog, i just don't know what the criticism is except price. What is the OP disliking about the Fog APIs e.g.? If i put my cynical hat on, i'd just say this has been a "Ask /." kind of experience. I'm interested enough in the subject to engage, but have no way of really replying. Was the Q really "what's not Fogbugz out there are cheaper?" I genuinely don't know, nor can i (presently) find any links to older HN discussion which might be useful. All this management software, whether for bug tracking or whether you make it front of house or anywhere in between is so useful to any helf - evolved business of any size, i seem to remember IBM paying a pretty penny to get ahold of Lotus who sussed the business pitch in the 90s. I suppose that what i'd like is a discussion as to what's state of the art, what companies or systems are really pushing the limits and getting things good and affordable, not a mere comparison with FogCreek which is very well written up for a company of any size. I'll post separately with my confusion points, so please understand i'm probably just missing the point here. best to all. |
