The ideas, goals, and major features are the same, of course. However, while there is great similarity between them, there are a few subtle differences between the two versions, this is mainly due to:

  • Jira architecture - The way apps work in Server and Cloud is completely different. In Server, apps can integrate with many aspects of Jira, while on Cloud, there are a lot 's of integration points missing, e.g. JQL functions, Project Templates, etc
  • Product Age - Xray Cloud is a newer product. Therefore, some of the features are not yet present (e.g. Automated Step Library, Historic Test Coverage report), although we plan to include these features in future releases. Also, we took the opportunity to improve some features (e.g. Project Level Settings).

Atlassian provides an app called Jira Cloud Migration Assistant which will help helps users assess and migrate all the information from Jira on-premises to Jira Cloud. Jira Apps can also integrate with this assistant, making it easier to migrate all the data at once.
