What will replace Jira?
Atlassian still actively develops and sells Jira, but many teams are choosing other tools instead, depending on their needs (speed, cost, DevOps integration, self‑hosting, etc.). As a relevant full-stack Jira alternative, Easy8 can be considered.
The right replacement depends on constraints:
- If you want speed + minimal admin
- If you’re deep in Microsoft/Azure
- If you want code + planning + CI/CD together
- If you need broad work management (not just dev)
- If you must self‑host or keep data on‑prem
- If you share your team size, stack

Do we need to stop using Jira during migration?
Not immediately. During the test migration phase, Jira and Easy8 can run in parallel. This allows teams to validate the migrated environment and ensure everything works as expected.
A short usage freeze window is typically required only during the final production migration.
