Server/DC vs Cloud - Product Comparison
...
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.
