JIRA vs BUGZILLA The basis of comparison JIRA BUGZILLA DEFINITION Jira is an exclusive issue tracking product developed by Atlassian Bugzilla is a Web-based general-purpose bug tracker also a testing tool formerly developed and used by the Mozilla project License Commercial Free Server-Side Architecture J2EE , Tomcat, Lucene, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Perl Server load Considerable Low Access Control JIRA has a further manageable permissions model, more conventional and arguably more convenient. Migrating from Bugzilla security groups might be not a simple task. Security groups: quite flexible, however a bit mind-bending characteristic for grouping users & issues plus granting permissions.

28. Conclusion – JIRA vs Bugzilla Bugzilla gives flexible although complicated features for grouping issues, users and for allowing permissions whereas   JIRA has a simple model   about the permissions, so it is extra traditional and relevant, it is a challenging task to migrate from Bugzilla security groups. So, JIRA and Bugzilla are pretty much different although, they have some common characteristics nowadays   JIRA is most commonly used in software companies .
