The problem is that Jira is many different thing, and have as many uses as they have customers. I doubt that there are two identical Jira installations in the world.

I also think that this is the true reason why Atlassian is doing this. The complexity of Jira has become to much, so now they will fix the problem by forcing smaller customers into a more defined workflow, while ensuring that those who require customization are also able to pay for training and consultance.

They already split (self-hosted) Jira into a few different “streams” or flavors with different features/pricing and dramatically different out-of-the-box configurations and workflows.

We are using https://www.taiga.io/ Its also Open Source (AGPL-3.0) https://github.com/taigaio

How is their platform on mobile? It's web only, right? Push Notifications? Thanks for the info!

I'm pushing for us to try GitLab issues since we only really use epics + tickets from Jira and we already pay for premium GitLab.

We migrated to YouTrack. Ticks both boxes.

Why not use Phabricator?

TPMs and Enterprise Agile consultants can’t really make heads or tails of Phabricator. It’s an engineering centric product, hostile to those who want to enforce standardized workflows and derive KPIs. Whether this is a bug or a feature depends on where power rests in your organization.

i talk to 10 dev teams a week. nobody seems to be using it, other than facebook of course.

Well, happy users since around 2015 (?).

There is a catch though - we use it only as a code review platform. It always seemed to be focused on that part more than in any other. I'm not saying everything else is bad, it just a gut feeling that code review always got the maximum attention.

And another catch is that it seems they lost their momentum even in this area. I recall times when we waited for weekly status update to see if there is something we'd have as excuse for an upgrade. Now it's even not a weekly update and speed of development seems to be slow.

The Wikimedia project and some other high profile projects use it.

I did a pretty thorough evaluation once which included Phrabricator, it came out very well, especially the work flow around code review. It wasn't chosen for unrelated reasons.

I don't know why it isn't more popular than it is. It seems to be very mature, certainly better than a lot of tools that organizations pay good money for.

There's no one pushing phrabricator. No marketing means that most of the people picking a tool to use have never even heard of it, and it's not really something that a single developer can adopt and then champion internally.

FreeBSD is probably one of the most visible users of Phabricator.
