Introduction

With each new release of our Cloud-hosted plugins, we endeavor to reduce disparities in functionality and customization between them and our on-premiseData Center-hosted versions. However, due to technical prerequisites and limitations of Jira Cloud, inevitable variances remain.
Our onData Center-premise-hosted BigPicture remains the gold standard, serving as a reference point for its Cloud-hosted equivalent.
In the tables below, you can find such disparities by comparing and contrasting the features and functionalities of Cloud- to onData Center-premise-hosted BigPicture and BigPicture Enterprise modules.

Info

Since BigPicture includes all of BigGantt's functionalities, BigGantt was intentionally missed out in the below comparison.
