“Syed Mantis Review

Pros

Its simplicity and user-friendliness make it easy to use.

Automated tracking is absent, meaning there is no mechanism to receive notifications if a ticket is not addressed as the deadline approaches. Manual tracking of these issues is necessary, whereas automated reminders for both the assigner and assignee would be beneficial.

The reminder system enhances accountability, while filtering aids in finding specific issue types.

Cons

While the user interface is not visually appealing, it serves its functional purpose.

“Not User Friendly and no support.

Cons

My experience has been very negative. Using the software has been an extremely painful process.
