Hello Tracey,
We are actively investing in making Atlassian Analytics faster. Performance is a key focus area for the team:
-
We’re currently optimizing queries and caching for existing dashboards, with monitoring in place to understand where customers see the biggest delays.
-
We’re also working on a new, more performant data infrastructure that’s targeted for the first half of calendar year 2026 to significantly improve query performance, especially for larger/complex dashboards.
In the meantime, there are a few changes you can make today that often improve response times when using dropdown and date controls:
-
Increase dashboard cache duration so repeated views and similar filters load faster.
-
Set dashboard refresh to “Manually” or “When dashboard is first opened” instead of automatically refreshing on every control change.
-
Turn off “Automatically update dashboard when a variable changes”, so filters don’t re‑query the entire dashboard on every small change.
-
Simplify heavy dashboards by reducing the number of charts per page and avoiding overly complex SQL/joins where possible.
Power BI may feel faster in your environment because it’s often querying imported, cached data in a dedicated workspace, whereas Atlassian Analytics is running live queries across the Atlassian Data Lake with additional multi-tenant and governance layers. The infrastructure work we have underway is specifically aimed at closing that gap for interactive dashboard scenarios like yours.
Regards,
Mohsin
