Not using Jira is a red flag for me, and I won't work for any company that doesn't use Jira. The reason is, Jira is so standard at this point, if a team uses a non-Jira product, they must have an overly powerful CTO or team lead who rules with an iron fist. Sure, it sucks, but working under such conditions is worse.
- kstrauser 4y agoThat’s insane to me. Atlassian pushes very hard for everyone to use the cloud-hosted version, as the on-prem version is hella expensive. You know, that SaaS app that was recently down for over 2 weeks for some customers.[0] I don’t know many companies that would be OK with having no access to their ticket tracker for an indeterminate length of time. Do you have a customer, or worse, regulatory deadline coming up, and all your planning was done in the now-offline tool? Sucks to be you!

Also looks like they've taken steps to prevent this from happening again. https://www.zdnet.com/article/atlassian-implements-soft-delete-policy-and-improves-backups-to-avoid-another-outage/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/atlassian-implements-soft-dele...
- phendrenad2 4y agoThe downtime only affected a small percentage of accounts, and unless this happens again, this is likely a freak occurrence, and just as likely to happen to any other random cloud service. As for mission-critical data in Jira, it's easier to replicate that to salesforce or something (where it belongs) than switch off of Jira entirely.
