Facing the Challenge: Jira Service Desk Server is Sunsetting

If your business or clients prioritize stringent data security and compliance requirements, keeping data stored locally might be necessary. Cloud solutions, while convenient, can potentially pose security risks due to data being stored off-site. Compliance with specific regulations and standards may be more challenging in the cloud environment, and data breaches are a concern that needs to be addressed.

Cloud-based services typically involve subscription costs. While there are emerging usage-based pricing models, they may not be readily available for all services. These recurring subscription costs can accumulate over time and impact your budget, making it important to carefully consider the financial implications of a move to the cloud.

Cloud solutions often come with limitations in terms of customization. If your helpdesk relies on a unique workflow or requires highly customized features, a cloud solution might not provide the flexibility you need. While some cloud providers offer industry-specific solutions, fully tailored solutions are typically not on the table, and you may need to adapt your processes to fit the cloud service.

Cloud service providers offer their own solutions, which may not align perfectly with your specific requirements. For example, a well-known company like Atlassian may not be able to provide a completely tailored solution for your business. This means you might need to compromise on certain features or adapt your processes to fit within the framework of the chosen cloud solution.
