The tool for your project management
Why should you switch from Atlassian Jira to Youtrack?
Due to Atlassian's changed licensing policy, more and more German companies are currently switching from Atlassian Jira to JetBrains YouTrack. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) poses challenges for companies, as Jira is now only available via the Atlassian Cloud. In order to continue using the on-premise version of Jira, expensive data center licenses are required. YouTrack offers an affordable alternative with a comparable range of functions. It enables efficient working and offers individual customization options. We have already successfully helped several companies migrate from Jira to YouTrack. In doing so, we were able to avoid downtimes and minimize adaptation times. We would also be happy to advise your company on JetBrains YouTrack!
A comparison of the project management tools
A major advantage of YouTrack compared to Jira (and Confluence) is its more favorable cost structure, especially if it is to be operated in a GDPR-compliant environment. YouTrack offers a comparable range of functions to Jira, but also integrates the functionalities of Confluence, thus combining two tools in one. YouTrack can also be comprehensively adapted to your own needs and requirements using user-defined fields and workflows.
With the "Help Desk", YouTrack offers an equal alternative to the "Jira Service Desk" and enables efficient customer support management. It also integrates seamlessly with other JetBrains developer tools such as IntelliJ or PhpStorm. JetBrains is actively developing YouTrack and is constantly expanding its range of functions. One example of this is the JetBrains AI Assistant, a tool that uses artificial intelligence to support work and can take over recurring tasks.

With YouTrack you have the choice!
Since the change in Atlassian's license terms, Jira and Confluence are primarily offered in the cloud version. The option of on-premise hosting is only possible with an expensive data center license, for which the costs are so high that it is economically unattractive for many companies. The Atlassian Cloud (hosted on AWS) is a legally uncertain solution, especially for German companies that need to ensure GDPR-compliant data storage.

How we support you with the migration
Step by step from Jira to YouTrack
In an initial meeting, we clarify the details and scope of the existing environment in Jira. We discuss how the future YouTrack instance should be operated technically and clarify all questions relating to licensing.
Together, we get a picture of the data to be migrated from Jira and Confluence, which is to be imported into YouTrack. Of course, this also includes projects, tickets, comments, users, authorizations and authentication.
We are at your side with our extensive experience in Jira, Confluence and YouTrack to take into account even the smallest details of complex workflows and processes during the migration.
Once all data has been copied to YouTrack and all workflows and processes have been migrated, an intensive test and transition phase begins. The first users will then be able to work with YouTrack and put it through its paces.
During the transition phase, the Youtrack migration assistant ensures that changes in Jira are also kept up to date in YouTrack. This means that no inconsistencies are created during the parallel operation phase. Nevertheless, it is advisable to keep the transition phase as short as possible.
Existing users can start working in YouTrack gradually (e.g. after the end of the project) or on a fixed date (e.g. shortly before the end of the Jira license term). Once the migration is complete, we will of course continue to be available to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
