Comparing eazyBI for Jira Cloud vs Data Center
eazyBI for Jira
eazyBI is available for all Jira hosting options – Cloud and Data Center. The core eazyBI functionality is the same in all hosting options. Some technical limitations make some of the functions available in one or other hosting. These differences are described on this page, while the common functionality is the same and is not described here.
This page can be used to see the differences when planning the Jira Data Center to Cloud migrations or when evaluating Jira and eazyBI hosting options. If needed, then see also the comparison of Atlassian hosting options.
When migrating eazyBI from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud, please see the eazyBI database migrator description.
