Can anyone recommend good alternatives to Jira? Things that keep me defaulting to it:

- Scales well from simple configuration and workflows to more complex multiboard views/custom fields/layouts per issue type etc

- Good OOTB integration with common CI/CD - see PRs, deploys etc from each ticket

- Good (adequate?) integration with their wiki in Confluence

- JQL for being able to do custom reporting tooling (get me all issues transitioned to X status in this time period)

Things that frustrate me:

- Complexity/UI around configuration

- Very poor kanban metrics reporting

Notepad.

Seriously, you need a heck of a lot more than a random HN reply to give you Jira alternatives if you've been embedded into its ecosystem for any length of time - and my condolences if you have.

We've switched to Jetbrains Youtrack, it doesn't have as many features, but turns out nobody was using most of them anyway. It's Jira + Confluence bundled together including SSO.
