Jira instances usually start with a small team and grow as people realise the benefits it can bring. This growth brings more users, data and requests for customization which, if unmanaged, can impact system performance further down the line. 

Jira Administrator’s play a key role in maintaining a high performing system that is configured correctly with enough customization built in to meet the needs of the business and its users. But we know it’s not that easy. 

With Optimizer for Jira, Admins will have access to the tools needed to analyze, manage and maintain Jira instances so that everyone in the company can benefit from an optimized and high performing system.

Identify areas for improvement

Jira Admins can use Optimizer’s powerful interface to get an overview of the system, identify unused or rarely used configuration objects and plan performance tuning initiatives based on insights. 

The interface provides an intuitive table view with filtering that enables the Admin to find what they are looking for quickly and easily without wasting time clicking through multiple screens. 

In our on-premise version, Jira Admins can save time by using built-in health checks to identify key areas for improvement.

Manage jira systems with ease

Identifying the problems in Jira is the first step, but Admins need a way to make changes and perform actions that will improve system performance. 

By using Optimizer’s bulk change feature, Admins can perform maintainence and tuning initiatives efficiently and make changes to configuration objects such as editing, merging and deletion. 

For many customers, this feature is used to perform clean up operations and reduce the number of unused or rarely used objects which will have a positive impact on Jira system performance. 

Improve Jira speed and performance

Give your Jira Admins the tools they need to be effective and efficient in their role. By using Optimizer, you are enabling all of your Jira users to benefit from a high performing Jira system that is maintained effectively and efficiently. 

As an example, one of our enterprise customers reported an improvement in Epic Load Speed from 14 seconds to 1 second after using Optimizer for Jira. If you multiply this time saving by the number of users it can be a real game changer!

Jira System's come in all shapes and sizes

There are no identical Jira systems and our product is built with the flexibility you need. We have adjusted our Cloud and On-Premise versions to meet the different needs of Jira Admins working in these environments. You can learn more about the features for each product type below.

Data Center & Server

Many of our on-premise customers are managing large instances or trying to maintain a system that is rapidly scaling up. Optimizer for Jira provides Admins with the tools to proactively diagnose problems, identify areas for improvement and manage Jira systems at scale by using bulk editing, merging and deletion. Some of the core features include: 
 
  • Custom Field Optimization – Admins can re-contextualize and merge custom fields to improve Jira performance
  • Project Archiving – some projects may become obsolete or inactive. Use archiving to reduce the index size and improve the overall performance of the system without the need to delete the project
  • User Management – identify users who no longer require access to Jira and remove their access with ease. This will reduce the number of licenses required and improve system security
  • Health Checks – integrated system checks that identify problems or areas that need improvement. Optimizer for Jira contains 20+ ready to use health checks
 
By using these features and more, Admins are able to maintain a high performing Jira system in a time-efficient and insights driven way.
Use built in health checks to identify problems in Jira. By using this feature, you can spend less time identifying problems and focus on implementing changes that will make a difference.
Save time by managing Jira at scale using the bulk edit feature in Optimizer for Jira. Select the items you want to edit and action these immediately or queue them for action at a later time.
Use the bulk action feature to perform actions on objects at scale. For example, you can edit, merge and delete Jira objects to support your performance tuning initiatives.
With Optimizer it’s easy to drill down into Jira objects and follow dependencies to any depth. This gives you a great idea of how items relate to each other before you make any changes.
It’s easy to manage the Projects in your Jira system using Optimizer. You can use this screen to perform bulk actions such as editing, deleting and archiving. If needed you can also export this page as a CSV.
Archiving is a great way to remove the Projects from your Jira system index and help improve Jira performance. It also avoids the need to delete a Project so you can keep it safe if it’s needed again.
Use the Task Manager to queue items for action. As shown on the screenshot you can queue items for deletion, editing or merging, and also queue users for inactivation.
Manage user access to Jira systems at scale using Optimizer. Reduce your license costs by removing people who no longer require access and improve security by ensuring only the right people can view the system.

What do our customers say?

This is one of the most useful Add-ons for a Jira Admin. It makes my task so easy while assessing my customers instances. I shared it with my team, they couldn't disagree that it is very handy.

very handy addon, comes with an very easy to use interface and shows usage statistics with every item like custom fields, status, resolutions etc. I have not tried the automated cleanup so far, but overview and analysis as a basis for manual cleanup is all I need. I also like the csv export for documentation purposes- thank you!

... a reliable tool with a user-friendly design! I would definitely recommend it!
Christina Robinson

This add-on is crucial to anyone supporting large jira instances, like my team. It has been instrumental in identifying inactive projects, low or no use fields and schemes. Having the ability to bulk remove schemes, screens etc is very helpful and allows for fast house keeping. Our team have implemented a monthly age-off practice and after projects are deleted we run the instance through cleaner to bulk remove the unused schemes. We have deleted thousands of artifacts thus removing the weeds from our very large Jira garden. 🙂
