    Excellent bug tracking software.

    Date: Oct 19 2022

    Summary: What I liked the most is that in the free version I am able to use various tools and settings which is quite extensive, since many programs only provide their best options for the paid version.

    Positive: The software is good, we started using it because of a recommendation made to the agency programmer, and it has been a very useful tool when reviewing and monitoring errors that occur in the scripts that are associated with custom templates that we use for WordPress. I really like the support they gave us when we started using it

    Negative: What I like the least is that it is completely in English and that makes it difficult for people from the regional market who are also looking to be more productive using tools like Pandora FMS.

    Date: Oct 18 2022

    Summary: The quality of the technical support is also a plus to take into account.
