In their own words
Bugzilla
Bugzilla is a self-hosted, web-based system for tracking defects, issues, enhancements, and other product change requests. It is free and open source, and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with API access. Its search ranges from full-text queries to advanced searches, including time-based criteria. Users can choose which bug-change emails they receive, and scheduled search reports can be sent as often as every fifteen minutes. Reports can include tables and graphs, and can be exported as CSV. Administrators can tailor workflows, statuses, resolutions, and fields, then extend an installation with templates and extensions. Groups control who can view or edit bugs; an insider group can make comments and attachments private. Bugzilla supports XML-RPC and JSON-RPC services, several authentication methods, and MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle databases. Its Patch Viewer connects with LXR, CVS, and Bonsai. Support is community-based through mailing lists and chat rooms; the project does not directly provide commercial support.
Gemini
Gemini is an enterprise task and issue-tracking product for help desk and IT support, project management, software development, and integrated testing. It combines reusable bug filters, cross-project search, dependency management, scheduling, and customizable workflows with agile planning for Scrum and Kanban. Teams can manage test plans and produce road maps, change logs, and Scrum burndown charts. Gemini connects with tools including Visual Studio, Outlook, Slack, GitHub, Bitbucket, Team Foundation Server, Subversion, Git, and Mercurial. It also offers a REST API, webhooks, an apps framework, and the Breeze app for turning inbound email into tickets. Gemini runs on the web, Windows, API, and self-hosted deployments. Cloud costs $10 a month per user, billed monthly, and includes unlimited projects and content and product support. Self-host costs 850.00 USD once for 10 users. Cloud hosting supports Forms authentication, but not Windows Authentication or Active Directory. Self-hosted Gemini 7.6.0 and later requires Windows Server 2019 or later, SQL Server 2019 or later, and TLS 1.2 or later.
