What is the difference between your Microsoft Entra ID Importer, Microsoft Intune Importer, Jamf Importer for JSM Assets, Database Importer for JSM Assets applications, and Atlassian’s Data Manager?
Atlassian acquired AirtTrack in 2023 and bundled the feature with JSM Assets as of October 2024. Naturally, the best place to get more information about the feature is the Data Manager documentation page.
We started launching our applications in the beginning of 2023. We have been serving more than a thousand customers until now and backed up with a support service. Since then, there have been improvements in scalability, data scope, features, and admin controls that are aligned with our customer use cases.
The main difference between Data Manager and our Importer applications is the focus of these systems. Please find the comparison chart below:
