Why is your product better than the atlassian stack - jira, bitbucket, confluence?

What was the problem you had with Atlassian, if you don't mind sharing?

Well, it is Atlassian, so that kind of works.

Basically all enterprises. We really need a viable alternative to Atlassian :/

Please please, anyone but Atlassian.

Bitbucket anyone? Or Atlassian is no longer an option?

This is Atlassian. The only way their software impresses people is with how bad it is.

I feel like Atlassian is IBM in this scenario. Bitbucket, JIRA and Confluence isn't everyone's favorite but you know they get the job done.

People really don't like Atlassian around these parts
