Server/DC vs Cloud - Product Comparison
We develop both versions at same time. Therefore, there is no significant difference between them.
There are a few diffrences in storage location (include goal and persona) due to the absolutely different architecture between Server and Cloud.
The good new is almost user-facing features are the same.
Limition
According to our assessment, Story map Migration dose not migrate all data from server because there are some performance issues take migration process too long time.
Data is migrated:
All data of Goal/Persona
Goal link: Link epic to goal
Persona link: Link issue to persona
Roadmap data: Start date/Due date issue
Quick filter (It is not sure)
Data is NOT migrated:
Ranks system: There are 3 ranks issue be used in Story Map plugin for 3 swimlanes type (Sprint/Release/No swimlane). Of which Sprint swimlane use Jira rank and It will be synced with other Jira fields. The remaining 2 ranks will be initialzed when use Story Map at the first time.
Issue color, enable fill epic color
Board setting: on/off sprint/no swimlane, maximum stories.
User setting: current swimlane, use epic color, expand/collapse swimlane/goal/task, hide/show goals
Migrate from server to cloud
Atlassian provides the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant to help Jira users assess and migrate from an on-premise Jira instance (Server or Data Center) to Jira Cloud.
We are working with Atlassian to support migrate easily Story Map data in the JCMA migrate process with your other apps.
