Need issue tracker, for general use, not only software

I'm looking for a free or commercial issue tracker. I've looked at a dozen of them, but I can't find what I need.

These are my requirements:

I've looked at Bugzilla, SupportSuite, Mantis, but these are to much software oriented for my case.

Strange, no-one mentioned Trello [ www.trello.com ]

Its :

  • General purpose
  • Software related tracking can also be done
  • Collaboration on anything with multiple people
  • Free to use [ Even for multiple users ]
  • Aimed at a non-technical user

Perfect for your use-case.

Maybe you're looking for a service like http://getsatisfaction.com/ or http://uservoice.com/. They are very customer-centric, and I've seen them used both for software products and for feedback on other things entirely.

Also, I've made Mantis receive email directly both to new and existing issues - f.ex. if subject contains an issue number like [1234] the email becomes a note to the issue 1234.

This way the customer doesn't know about Mantis, you can bcc Mantis with issue numbers, and it's possible to customize workflow in Mantis very much to suit your process needs.

In addition, you can have separate projects in Mantis which can receive from different email addresses, like one for bugs and one for support issues.

Or take a loot at Gemini -- we have IT hardware, Help Desk and all our software dev projects in one place. Gemini does allow for different "meta data" per project type so this works for us. Look at their "white paper" - may be of help to you in terms of set up.

Usually the commercial ones are more polished than the open-source ones, here are some options:

  • Atlassian JIRA - an industry veteran, very complete solution. If you have a small team (up to 5 people), they also used to have a very low-cost version.
  • JetBrains YouTrack - relative newcomer, an probably a bit too "keyboard-centric" for your needs.

Try out Assembla, am not sure whether it is free or what.

Or you may try with googling JIRA
