Comparison
Issue Matrix Server/Data Center users moving to Jira Cloud will need to migrate to our corresponding cloud app, Issue Matrix for Jira Cloud.
This page compares the features of the Server and Cloud apps.
Configuration Differences
One of the most significant differences between Issue Matrix Server and Cloud is the concept of its configuration - how you create and set up Issue Matrix panels.
Server/DC
In Issue Matrix Server/DC, the configuration is done via custom fields. You need to create an Issue Matrix custom field, which you configure, and it appears as a panel in your team’s Jira issues.
Cloud
In Issue Matrix for Jira Cloud, however, the configuration is managed via panels in the project settings. You can link one matrix configuration to many projects. This means you don't need to manually create matrix configurations in all desired projects.
