Recently, Jira officials once again stated: "After February 15, 2024, there will no longer be official fixes for security vulnerabilities in the Server versions used by users, and product bugs will no longer be fixed. After the end of the support date, Atlassian and Marketplace partners will no longer provide technical support for any issues, security updates, or bug fixes for critical vulnerabilities."
That is to say, within one year, the China server version of Atlassian's Jira, Confluence and other series of products will terminate support. In China, 90% of Jira customers are users of the Server version. More and more companies are aware of the troubles caused by outage, and have begun to take action to find replacement products and prepare response strategies in advance.
Just like changing the operating system of a mobile phone, users may not adapt to it or even affect their work efficiency in the initial stage of changing tool software. Since replacement is necessary, choosing which alternative product can minimize the impact is the primary consideration.
1. Ease of use, safety and low replacement cost are the core elements
Ease of use: According to the survey, the most important things that R&D personnel value when using software tools are "ease of use" and "security." "Easy to use" includes low software learning costs and easy to use; low replacement costs, flexible tool migration and one-click import; low cost of use and convenient interaction ; from interface settings to internal logic, the user experience and friendliness are in line with local users usage habits. UniPro, the mainstream project management software in China, targeted the replacement needs of Jira users in the early stages of product introduction to the market. Currently, there are successful customer cases of domestic replacement.
Security: Facing the ever-changing world situation, Chinese enterprises need to pay more attention to data security and data precipitation. Problems such as Jira cloud product downtime and "out of service" after a year have caused many companies to suffer from data instability. Data security issues and storage security issues for replacement products are all factors that must be considered beforehand. UniPro meets the "security" needs of domestic enterprises in terms of deployment methods and mirror servers.
2. Choose “localization” upgrade in one step
"Localization" is the general trend of my country's technological development. UniPro has completed compatibility and mutual recognition with many innovative platforms such as Feiteng and Haiguang, which can meet the needs of enterprises for full-stack localization substitution.
"Domestic replacement" products need to be more adaptable to the "localization" needs of domestic corporate users. From the beginning of the project, UniPro has been based on realizing the domestic replacement of Jira, aiming to help domestic enterprises use domestic software at a better cost-effectiveness. Its lightweight product underlying architecture can support "infinite" extension and user-defined configuration. The company's future needs and potential business goals can be responded to and adapted quickly.

3. UniPro can experience Jira migration for free
The replacement of software tools involves many aspects such as the company's data assets, staff productivity, and product delivery quality. Therefore, the migration tool cannot be implemented overnight, but should be rigorous and meticulous, from point to point, to increase the fault tolerance rate as much as possible. This is also the product philosophy that UniPro has always adhered to - small-step iteration and agile development.
UniPro's point-to-face "step-by-step migration plan" has also been verified, helping customers successfully complete the steps from parallel operation, small team trial operation, and gradual promotion by each team to complete replacement of the original system, completing Jira at a lower cost a smooth replacement.
There is a "Jira Importer" entrance on the UniPro system interface. Click on it and there will be a "navigation" to guide users to complete the migration step by step. As shown below:
