Atlassian compared Cloud vs. Server options, and the advantages of the standard Cloud solution are considerable. There are, however, a few existing disadvantages to the Cloud option that are crucial to understand.
Here are five drawbacks of Atlassian Cloud:
High Use
Although Atlassian has excellent uptime for Cloud items, there are times when efficiency can be affected by high use. Usually, this starts at the 500+ user stage and beyond. If your instance had to go down in the middle of a working day, getting it up again would entail opening a ticket with Atlassian. If your company needs a higher level, consider whether keeping your instance down for an hour will be detrimental to your business.
Updates
Updates to the Atlassian Cloud instance happen randomly. There is no notification when changes made are being pushed into the Cloud. You and your team will have to deal with the changes for better or worse.
Sandbox
Cloud does not have a Sandbox (or Stage/Development/QA) instance. Therefore, there is no way to test any new changes, workflows or try out new add-ons/apps.
URL Selection
It is difficult to change the URL once you've selected it. This should be taken into account when you sign up for a 7-day cloud trial. If you want to modify the URL, a process is needed. Although you don't need an Atlassian Solutions Partner to complete this, it's still a degree of effort.
Security Controls
Cloud users who use third-party add-ons/apps can be storing their information on a server in another country. There are no security requirements for details on the data in the app.
