MantisBT
Web-based issue and bug tracking system
MantisBT is a web-based issue tracking and bug tracking system designed to help teams record, track, and resolve issues across projects. It balances a straightforward UI with configurable workflows and permissions suitable for both internal teams and client-facing collaboration.
Key Features
- Issue reporting, triage, assignment, and resolution tracking
- Per-project role-based access control and permissions
- Configurable workflows, custom fields, and notifications
- Email notifications for issue updates, comments, and resolutions
- Works with multiple database backends (commonly MySQL and PostgreSQL)
Use Cases
- Software teams tracking bugs, regressions, and release blockers
- Internal IT teams managing incident and request tickets
- Client-visible issue reporting and status tracking for delivered projects
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires a PHP-compatible web server and a supported relational database
- Feature set and integrations may rely on configuration and extensions depending on deployment needs
MantisBT is a solid choice for teams that want a mature, lightweight issue tracker with strong access control and customization options. It is well-suited for organizations that prefer a classic web app with flexible configuration over heavier ALM platforms.
