Jira Server Discontinued

Starting February 2, 2021, Atlassian will stop selling new server licenses for many of their products, including Jira Software. At the same time, they will increase the price for the remaining on-premise alternative, Jira Data Center, for which the smallest order will correspond to ordering 500 users.

Though Atlassian will not add any new features, they will continue to provide bug fixes and support for these products for a bit longer. But on February 2, 2024, Atlassian will end support for all server products. Learn More...

Jira Cloud Limitations

While Atlassian is investing in its cloud services to provide feature upgrades, that doesn’t mean everyone can - or wants to - move to the cloud.

Many customers in high assurance industries or running projects on secure networks are unable to ever use a cloud-based solution for regulatory, security or compliance reasons.

In addition, Jira Cloud has known issues of poor performance, inflexible data localization options and increasing instability and unreliability due to the need to have many plugins installed to achieve basic functionality.

What About Jira Data Center?

If you are considering a switch from Altassian's Jira Server product to Jira Data Center, consider:

Important new functionality, like Jira’s Next-Gen Projects, will not be available.
You need to order minimum 500 users. This will also affect the cost for many of the plugins you will need to use as well.
It is more expensive than the server product.
It is more complicated to maintain as it consists of nodes behind a load balancer rather than a single server instance.
Atlassian has a clear intent to move all their customers to the cloud in the longer term.

Unlike Jira and Atlassian, Inflectra and Spira have a long-term commitment to giving you, the customer a choice of hosting in our secure cloud (multiple data localization regions) or self-hosting on-premise. We offer flexible and easy to understand licensing based on concurrent users, with on-premise customers having both annual and perpetual license options. We even make the migration from Jira easy!
