Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you suggesting they’re going out of business?

Probably a testament to performance and reliability of the hosted offering (we all remember the multi day outage not long ago).

There were zero issues with performance/reliability that caused the outage, they just deleted hundreds of customers data, and had to manually restore the data due to lack of automated restore scripts.

No explanation necessary. Anyone that has followed Atlassian in the news knows that downloading Jira Issues is an excellent idea!

Apparently they've never made a profit...

My manager a few jobs back did something like this, but just using Microsoft Excel with Power Query. No need to even install sqlite. Normally, that probably isn't much of an obstacle, but this was in a classified environment where it was nearly impossible to get the local IT admins to install additional software on your workstation. Every corporate Microsoft box is going to already have the Office suite.

I'm curious about this. I would say I'm fairly versed in Excel but haven't dug too deep into Power Query / the data model. If you wouldn't mind, how is this done?

Until the current crop of managers retire, Atlassian will still have business. Some don't know anything other than Jira, so will recommend it on corporate purchases.

I built a very similar tool for my company to download a set of DataDog logs into SQLite. Products like Jira and DataDog have their own query engines for sure, but you really can't beat the capabilities of true SQL for deeper analysis.

link?

Just to get ideas, what custom reports are users looking for that can not be built by Jira.

I think this is more of a way to automate pulling large amounts of data from Jira rather than doing it directly from a dashboard. Also could be utilized as a backup repository.
