Challenge
Our primary challenge was finding a cost-effective bug-tracking solution. We noticed that most of our JIRA users were passive "watchers" rather than active contributors to bug tracking, leading to high licensing costs and inefficiencies.
We aimed to optimize our return on investment (ROI) in bug tracking and explore opportunities to allocate savings towards other critical software needs. However, we lacked a tool to compare bug-tracking tools, analyze pros and cons, evaluate pricing tiers, and facilitate an informed decision-making process.
