I was one of the Jira admins two jobs ago (in additional to more normal responsibilities of product management & engineering). I finally got back to Jira at my current company and I texted an ex-colleague who was also an admin of the same Jira server (also part-time):
"We're starting the migration to Jira. The next sprint will be entirely in Jira. Honestly, I kind of missed it."
She replied: "That's the real test of a tool. Not 'would you recommend it to a friend?', but 'if you were to start a company, would you use it again?'"
And - I would and did with Jira. If you know the tool well, and your company doesn't have stupid technical workflows and human processes, it's just great. Too many people suffered from using it wrong or suffered from using it with the wrong colleagues.
- lolc 4y agoWhat's the secret of making it acceptably responsive? Asking for a friend.
- wizofaus 4y agoFrom what I've read it's the cloud hosted version that's slow. Seems to be fine locally hosted, and probably if you host yourself with another cloud provider. Unless by "responsive" you mean works well on tiny screen devices...
- plorkyeran 4y agoThe self-hosted version is discontinued and you can't buy it any more if you aren't already a customer.
- originalvichy 4y agoIncorrect. The cheapest license version is discontinued, ”server”. Data center license is not.
- wizofaus 4y agoGuessing that's prohibitively expensive for smaller shops though? There's remarkably little info on Atlassian's site about the difference between server and data center license...
