Info on Atlassian-provided Apps to be migrated to the Cloud

rogerh

The planning stage on Confluence migration for my org is underway. I have a question about the user-installed apps on our confluence server. In checking the status of each of these apps, 7 of the 14 are Atlassian - provided apps and are in the marketplace, and two additional are not in the marketplace at all (Team Calendars and the Analytics for Confluence Plugin). At this time, no cloud versions are available for any of them. I understand that some may be folded into Confluence as a feature and others may be replaced by new apps? Since this is a key part of migration, how can I find out what Atlassian plans for these apps and plugins?

Just something to be aware of if you are migrating from Server to Cloud ..

As a word to the wise and not knowing how much investigation you've done ... Please carefully consider what you get ...

Depending on how you use Confluence you and your Users may be disappointed ... or even quite annoyed

refer my comments in a couple of posts here:

I am not saying "don't" or that Cloud is not useful in its own right .. but it is significantly different to Server functionality and capability! Be careful what you wish for...

Plus templates might be an issue

Also to note I am speaking as not having migrated from Server to Cloud .. we scared ourselves off.

Perhaps others who have migrated have different views?

Unfortunately I don't have a choice. Our organization requires that any applications we use must be patched on a continual basis, and after February, Atlassian will no longer provide support, which includes patch management. If this move to the cloud is anything like Microsoft's move to the cloud with O365, the online version of that suite of apps compared to on-prem.....hopefully the change to Atlassian Cloud won't be as bad as that.

aah yes .. patch management .. an important issue

Is auto-patch management as a Cloud instance more important that having a system that no longer works the way you want?

Our organisation has the view that we'd migrate to Data Centre and continue our own patch-management rather than make the system effectively unusable in Cloud.

Reduced Cloud capability is a serous and significant change for those familiar with Server - I know because I manage a large 7000+ User Server instance for the global organisation and my own Cloud instance for my personal company.

I can only tolerate Cloud because I was lucky enough to have created my own template pages before the Cloud downgraded functionality was foisted on me i.e. patch management is great for cyber security maintenance, but it can play havoc with usability!
