JSU Server/Data Center vs Cloud Feature Comparison

We have achieved feature value parity; JSU for Jira Cloud is as powerful as our best-selling JSU for Jira Server! We have also introduced a Universal Rule Builder (beta) to our Jira Cloud app. This simplified experience makes it even faster and easier to build and visualize your workflow rules.

While some unavoidable API limitations in Jira Cloud restrict the full capabilities of some minute features of JSU for Jira Server, we've pushed the parity as far as Jira Cloud allows. Rest assured, this does not affect the value JSU brings into customizing your Jira workflows regardless of platform.

See the parity tables of JSU features below for complete details.
