Comparison of Appfire and Atlassian’s integrity check tools

Appfire's Integrity Check for Jira and Atlassian’s Integrity Checker both aim to give administrators assurance that their Jira instances are running smoothly and error-free. The difference between the two is most easily observed through the error detection coverage of your Jira configuration. So, let’s start the comparison and show you what each can offer to improve your Jira system’s stability and efficiency.

Main differences between Integrity Checker and Integrity Check for Jira

We can see a lot of similarities when we first take a quick peek at both Atlassian and Appfire’s app functionalities. However, when we start to dive into more detail, we can see that Jira’s native integrity checker focuses mainly on data integrity. Meanwhile, Integrity Check for Jira extends and complements that functionality by providing error detection for all configuration elements and their attributes.
