Can anyone recommend good alternatives to Jira? Things that keep me defaulting to it:
- Scales well from simple configuration and workflows to more complex multiboard views/custom fields/layouts per issue type etc
- Good OOTB integration with common CI/CD - see PRs, deploys etc from each ticket
- Good (adequate?) integration with their wiki in Confluence
- JQL for being able to do custom reporting tooling (get me all issues transitioned to X status in this time period)
Things that frustrate me:
- Complexity/UI around configuration
- Very poor kanban metrics reporting
- esskay 7mo agoNotepad. Seriously, you need a heck of a lot more than a random HN reply to give you Jira alternatives if you've been embedded into its ecosystem for any length of time - and my condolences if you have.
- mjfisher 7mo agoIt's fine, just not stellar. It was terrible (UX, speed, consistency) ten years ago. It's better now - mostly gets out of people's way and just works. It doesn't delight me.

- lousken 7mo agoWe've switched to Jetbrains Youtrack, it doesn't have as many features, but turns out nobody was using most of them anyway. It's Jira + Confluence bundled together including SSO.
- kgeist 7mo agoWe (~200 devs) migrated from Jira to Youtrack 10 years ago, and its functionality has been more than enough. Honestly, I don't remember anyone ever seriously complaining about it, aside from maybe a few nitpicks. A very solid product.
- lousken 7mo agoMy biggest pet peeve is the lack of sorting and filtering options in tables, especially on wiki. Can't complain about anything else
- grantith 7mo agoI enjoy youtrack for its simplicity, native markdown support, command pallette, and solid vcs integration. So much bloat and friction with jira.
