Jira is the industry standard for engineering — but it is complex, expensive with Confluence add-ons, and frustrating for non-engineers. Zlyqor works for everyone.

§ Why teams switch

The honest comparison

⚠️

Limitations of Jira

✕Extremely complex configuration that requires a dedicated admin to maintain
✕Requires Confluence add-on for documentation, adding significant cost
✕No built-in time tracking at a usable level without plugins
✕No invoicing or finance features
✕Slow, clunky interface that non-technical users find frustrating
✦

Why teams choose Zlyqor

✓Simple setup — productive in under 30 minutes with no dedicated admin
✓Documentation, projects, and chat all in one — no Confluence needed
✓Native time tracking with focus timer at no extra cost
✓Invoicing built in so you bill clients without another tool
✓Clean, fast interface that the whole company can use, not just developers

§ Who is Jira for?

Is Jira the right tool for your team?

✓

Jira is best for…

✓Large engineering teams with complex sprint and release workflows
✓Companies with dedicated DevOps or scrum master roles
✓Enterprises that need deep customization, compliance, and audit logs
⚠

Might not be the best if…

✕Small teams or non-technical users (complex admin, steep learning curve)
✕Companies wanting a workspace for all departments, not just engineering
✕Teams that want fast setup without a dedicated Jira admin

→ If any of the above sounds familiar, Zlyqor might be the better fit. It's free to try — no credit card needed.

§ Common questions

Switching from Jira?

Do we also need to cancel Confluence?

If you're switching to Zlyqor, you can drop Confluence too. Zlyqor's task descriptions, project notes, and AI summaries cover most of what Confluence is used for in day-to-day work.

Can I export my Jira data?

Yes — Jira exports issues as CSV per project (Board → Backlog → Export issues). Keep it as a reference and re-add your active sprint tasks in Zlyqor.

We have hundreds of custom fields and workflows. Can we replicate them?

Zlyqor uses a simpler model — custom fields are task properties (text, date, number, select). Complex Jira workflows with conditional transitions are better suited for teams with a dedicated ops admin.

Jira is industry standard for engineering. What's the trade-off?

Jira's depth (velocity charts, story points, release tracking) is unmatched for large engineering orgs. Zlyqor is better for teams of 5-100 that want their whole company in one workspace.
