Atlassian has a reputation for poor engineering/backend practices. It's a great (to use) product though.

Interestingly I assumed (due to personal and anecdotal experience fro colleagues) it’s not a good experience and that was part of what the parent was referring to.

Coming from ClearQuest, Jira was a breathe of fresh air some years ago. We can run projects with several hundred to thousand people with it (the on prem version) without problems and UX is ok IMHO. Maybe it's easy to screw up the config?

It's an ok product until you run into performance issues. Which due to said horrible backend engineering is numerous. Also their support is awful.

Don’t worry, the datacenter edition takes only 200ms to load their HTML, and then another 15s to generate their JS package on every single page load.
