Introduction

With each new release of our Cloud-hosted plugins, we endeavor to reduce disparities in functionality and customization between them and our on-premise-hosted versions. However, due to technical prerequisites and limitations of Jira Cloud, inevitable variances remain.
Our on-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 on-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.

BigPicture configuration

Respect Jira's Screen scheme configuration

The UI element (swiper) is not available. The Jira Cloud hosting security always requires respecting the screen scheme configuration, so the administrator has no possibility to configure the application in this regard.
