My first experience with JIRA/Confluence was in 2007, I couldn't remotely get them to install on a Linux box.
After giving them eye daggers for 6 years I tried again in 2013 and I've decided the whole Atlassian offering is one of the most under-marketed tool suites out there for software startups.
Under 10 users you get JIRA and Confluence self-hosted for $10 a year or cloud hosted for $10 a month each. Up to 5 users on BitBucket is free (3 invites increases that to 8).
OK, their prices revert at 11 users, but you'd hope your startup has some growth by that point.
My only downside is there are some features that should be core features that are left to pay-for plugins to implement.
- PakG1 13y agoDoes DrinkWater work for Atlassian? Not often I see a sales page for a product on the front page of HN. That being said, I concur. We're using JIRA/Confluence/Bitbucket cloud version right now and the integration is fantastic. Workflow is seamless. More functional than Pivotal Tracker, especially for the price point, more polished than Trello (heck, Trello is for general projects anyway, you can't blame it, Trello is fantastic for what it is), gives you what it says compared to GitHub, etc, etc. I have no idea how it compares to something like Asana or another tool, but so far my experience with Atlassian stuff has been positive. I am encountering small annoying bugs here and there (they have a few known bugs it turns out), but their support is pretty responsive. The bugs aren't enough yet for me to ditch the products, but it's annoying that they exist. Nothing that isn't fixable anyway and nothing significant.
