The biggest surprise in the article is that Atlassian is not profitable. How? They pretty much have a monopoly in the Jira-like space (look , I can't even think of a generic name) and they charge a hefty sum for their products. How tf do they lose money?
The article lists an insane revenue of $1.6B, yet the losses are only on the order of $42M in the last 3 months. Against that much revenue, it looks to me like they are managing the company at a slight loss on purpose. They probably could close that gap if they wanted to, but have some favorable tax implications or something by running that "slight" loss.
(And who knows, maybe this is part of the attempt to close that gap and show a profit before the founders cash out and it all gets sold to a Shittier company)
Agile project management. And ticketing. And document management.
There are others. We are working on moving to Asana and other products.
Redmine. Open source and free.
I greatly preferred Redmine back in the day. It was easy to extend it yourself too despite my dislike of Ruby.
Asana is… not a whole lot better.
Agreed.
Used Target Process as my last place. Way nicer than Jira IMO
