What are Scarabs disadvantages over Bugzilla?
Scarab has many features and advantages over Bugzilla, which we are not going to get into here, but the primary disadvantages are: #1. Simple implementation of workflow Scarab default workflow implementation is simple, and does not try to provide a full-blown Workflow engine. This means that Scarab does not have any logic implemented within it that allows you to say things like: when the State is changed to closed, change the resolution to resolved. There is an API for allowing this to happen, and you can ask in the mailing lists for the experiences of Scarab’s users successfully implementing it. #2. testing and deployment as wide as Bugzilla Bugzilla has been deployed far and wide over a number of years and has undergone a great amount of testing and visibility on the Mozilla.org website. Scarab has not had the same level of testing and usage.
