Move Work Forward builds dozens of focused Atlassian apps that bring code, chat and calendar data into Jira. Getint builds one set of integration solutions whose whole job is to keep work items in sync between Jira and the other tools your teams use.
If you are comparing Move Work Forward vs. Getint, here is the short answer. Getint is the better fit when you need deep, two-way synchronization of work items between Jira and tools like Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Zendesk, monday.com or GitLab, when you run Jira Data Center or need an on-premise deployment, or when you also need to migrate historical data. Move Work Forward is the stronger choice when what you really want is development visibility inside Jira: branches, commits, pull requests, builds and deployments from Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab or Gerrit, plus smart commits, or when you are looking for Microsoft Teams, Slack and Google Chat connectors for Jira and Confluence.
Both vendors sell through Atlassian's Marketplace, both are Platinum Marketplace Partners, and both hold SOC 2 Type II. Both now offer a two-way Jira Azure DevOps integration, and both help different teams stay on the same page without leaving the tools they prefer. But as integration tools they come from opposite directions. Move Work Forward started with notifications and development information and, in October 2026, added two-way work item sync to its Azure DevOps for Jira app. Getint started with synchronization and migration, and that is still the entire product.
This comparison covers what actually decides the purchase: the type of integration you need, two way sync depth, connectors, Jira to Jira integrations across multiple Jira instances, deployment options, the setup process, field mapping and custom scripting, data migrations, the pricing model, security requirements, error handling, support, and the use cases where each tool clearly wins.
We build Getint, so read this with that in mind. Where Move Work Forward is stronger, we say so.
Move Work Forward vs Getint: the short answer
Choose Getint for two-way synchronization and migration of work items between Jira and ITSM, DevOps, CRM and work management tools, on Cloud, Data Center, SaaS or on-premise. Choose Move Work Forward to see development activity on Jira issues and to connect Jira and Confluence with chat and collaboration tools.

Verdict at a glance
What Move Work Forward offers
Move Work Forward is not a single platform. It is a portfolio of separate Marketplace solutions, each with its own license, configuration and documentation. Five of them matter for this comparison.
- Azure DevOps for Jira (Jira Cloud): links branches, pull requests, commits, builds and deployments to Jira issues when the issue key appears in Azure DevOps. It supports Azure DevOps Cloud and Azure DevOps Server (TFS), smart commits that transition issues, add comments and log time, branch creation from Jira, and Jira Automation. Since October 19, 2026 it also offers one-way or two-way work item synchronization.
- Jigit: a single Jira app (Cloud and Data Center) that shows development activity from GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps and Gerrit in one development panel. It reads data through REST APIs without cloning repositories, and can surface GitHub Dependabot security alerts on Jira issues.
- GitHub Links for Jira: a lighter app for viewing GitHub pull requests, branches, commits and code from Jira issues.
- Capybara (Jira Service Management): lets support agents link a request to an existing GitHub or Linear issue or Azure DevOps work item, or create a new one, and then shows status changes and comments from the development tool as internal comments on the request.
- Microsoft Teams, Slack and Google Chat connectors: notifications, quick actions and issue creation from chat for Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket and Bamboo.
Move Work Forward describes the difference itself: Jira and Azure DevOps integrations fall into development information integration (code, builds and pipelines) and work item integration (issues, tasks and their fields). Most of its catalog is about the first category.
What Getint offers
Getint is a platform that does one thing: syncing data continuously and migrating existing data between work management, ITSM, DevOps and CRM tools, so data flows between multiple teams stay accurate. You install the Getint app from the Marketplace, sign up for Getint SaaS, or run Getint on-premise behind your firewall.
- Quick Build auto-matches work item types, fields and values
- One-way and two-way sync, with type, field, status and value mapping, including custom fields
- Comments and attachments, each with their own rules
- Hierarchies (epics, features, stories, sub-tasks), transitions, dependencies and many-to-many project setups
- Filters on all, new or updated items, including custom JQL
- Runtime JavaScript, a shared Scripts Library and Advanced Scripting for business logic the visual interface does not cover
- Resync, retries, notifications and detailed logs for every run
- Role based access control per Jira group and per integration
- Migration by date, ID or filter, followed by ongoing sync, in the same product
For Jira and Azure DevOps, the Getint Azure DevOps Integration for Jira is a single Jira app: nothing has to be installed in Azure DevOps. It syncs Azure Boards work items, comments, attachments, custom fields and statuses in near real time, and its listing also covers pull requests, branches, commits and deployments.
Move Work Forward gives you a specialist app for each job. Getint gives you one platform for every pair of tools, and the team behind it when you need them.
The real difference: development visibility or work item synchronization?
This is the question to answer before you compare any feature list.
Development visibility means a Jira user can see what is happening in the code. A product manager opens a Jira issue and finds the feature branch, the open pull request, the last build and whether the change reached staging. Nothing is copied between work items; the data stays in Azure DevOps, GitHub or GitLab and is linked by the Jira issue key. This is what Azure DevOps for Jira, Jigit and GitHub Links for Jira were built for, and it is where Move Work Forward is strongest.
Work item synchronization means the same piece of work exists in two tools and stays consistent. A bug raised in Jira Service Management becomes an Azure DevOps work item, a ServiceNow incident becomes a Jira issue, or an epic in Jira mirrors a feature in Azure Boards, with fields, statuses, comments and attachments kept in sync in both directions. This is everything Getint does, across every connector it supports.
Many teams need both, especially those running Azure DevOps and Jira side by side. A common setup is a development-information app for the dev panel and a sync platform for the work items and tasks. Getint and Move Work Forward can run side by side in the same Jira instance.
Jira Azure DevOps integration: two-way sync compared
Jira Azure DevOps integration is where the two products overlap most, so it deserves a closer look. Move Work Forward's two-way sync is new, and its own announcement and documentation describe how it works.
Sources: the Getint Azure DevOps integration for Jira listing and Move Work Forward's two-way sync announcement, checked October 2026.
Move Work Forward's last-write-wins model is simple and predictable: whichever system a field was edited in most recently wins, and the app recognizes its own updates so changes do not bounce back as loops. For two teams editing the same tasks occasionally, that is often enough. Getint is built for heavier scenarios and unique workflows: large backlogs with parent-child hierarchies, several Jira projects mapped to several Azure DevOps projects, conditional logic, and a migration of existing work items before ongoing sync starts. Lufthansa, for example, runs Jira Data Center with Azure DevOps on Getint.
Connectors: which integration tools cover what
Move Work Forward goes wide into developer tools and collaboration. Getint goes wide into work item sync across business systems and other tools like ServiceNow, Salesforce and monday.com.
Sources: Getint integrations and Move Work Forward's product catalog, checked October 2026.
If your integration needs include Jira connected to ServiceNow, Salesforce, Zendesk or a work management tool, Getint covers it and Move Work Forward does not offer work item sync for those tools. If you want Jira notifications in Microsoft Teams, or GitHub and GitLab activity in Confluence, Move Work Forward covers it and Getint is not built for it. Choosing the right tools starts with listing which systems different departments actually use, because integrating tools is only worth it when it matches real workflows.
Jira to Jira integrations across multiple Jira instances
Many companies run multiple Jira instances: one per business unit, one inherited through an acquisition, a Jira Service Management site for support and a Jira Software site for engineering, or separate Jira instances for a customer and a supplier. Keeping tasks, statuses and comments aligned across those Jira instances, so multiple teams stay on the same page, is one of the most common jobs for integration tools.
Getint offers dedicated Jira to Jira integrations for Cloud to Cloud, Cloud to Data Center and Data Center to Data Center, with the same field mapping, filters and scripting as every other connector. Teams use it to sync issues between Jira instances during a merger, to share selected projects with a partner without giving them access to the whole site, and to sync Jira Data Center and Jira Cloud during a cloud migration. Vendavo is one example of multiple teams working across several Jira instances with Getint.
Move Work Forward does not offer Jira to Jira synchronization. Its apps connect Jira to development, chat and collaboration tools rather than to other Jira instances. If syncing data between multiple instances of Jira is part of your plan, that requirement alone points to Getint.
Deployment options and deployment flexibility: Jira Cloud, Jira Data Center and on-premise
Getint runs as a native Jira app on Cloud, built for Atlassian Forge, and as a native app on Jira Data Center, or fully on-premise. The apps are Cloud Fortified and part of the Marketplace Bug Bounty program. With Atlassian phasing out Data Center, Getint can sync Data Center and Cloud during the transition, then keep integrations running on Cloud.
Move Work Forward's coverage depends on the app. Its own FAQ says Azure DevOps for Jira supports Jira Cloud, and points Jira Data Center customers to Jigit. Jigit runs on both Cloud and Data Center, but it brings development information into Jira; it does not sync work items. In October 2026 Move Work Forward also announced Data Center to Cloud migration support for five of its apps. So a team on Jira Data Center that needs Azure DevOps work items synced today has no two-way sync option from Move Work Forward, while Getint supports that setup directly.
Getint's on premise deployment matters for business critical systems: the integration runs inside your company's infrastructure, so sensitive data and sensitive information never pass through a third-party cloud. That is the deployment flexibility compliance teams in banking, aviation, healthcare and the public sector usually ask for first.
Setup process for each Jira integration
Both solutions install from the Marketplace and are configured in Jira administration without writing code.
Move Work Forward's two-way sync setup, as its guide describes it, has six steps: create a "Both directions" integration with an Azure DevOps organization name and a Personal Access Token, create a synchronization between a Jira space and an Azure DevOps project, map types, fields and values in each direction (a "Mirror from other direction" option pre-fills the reverse mapping), switch comments and attachments on, optionally map users, then save. Dev panel linking needs even less: developers just include the Jira issue key in branch names, commits and pull requests.
Getint's setup process follows the same pattern for every connector, in an intuitive UI. Connect two apps with just each tool's URL and a service account's credentials, choose projects, let Quick Build propose type, field and value mappings, adjust, save. With Quick Build, a standard integration is set up in 5 to 10 minutes, and most teams have a production-ready integration the same day, and the Getint team helps with complex workflows and setups. Because every Getint connector uses the same interface, once your admin has built a Jira Azure DevOps integration, building a Jira ServiceNow or Jira Salesforce integration looks the same.
Move Work Forward: one app per job, each simple to set up. Getint: one interface for every integration.
Field mapping, custom scripting and complex workflows
Move Work Forward maps work item types, fields and values separately for each direction and blocks contradictory mappings that could cause value loops. For extra logic, it relies on Jira Automation: for example, moving an issue to "Ready for QA" when a deployment succeeds. That works well for event-driven workflows on the Jira side, and gives admins some control without scripting.
Getint covers the common case in the visual interface, then adds custom scripting in JavaScript at runtime for the exceptions: concatenating values, converting formats, branching on conditions, or setting a field differently depending on the project. You configure the common case and script the exception, inside the same integration. Getint also handles hierarchies, dependencies and many-to-many project setups, which matter most for engineering teams syncing large Jira and Azure DevOps backlogs. Those advanced features, together with Advanced Scripting, give admins full control over unique workflows and complex workflows that no template anticipated, while custom fields map in the same screen as standard ones.
Data migrations
Getint handles migration and continuous synchronization in one platform. Migrate existing data by creation or update date, by item ID or by filter, map types and fields, handle items that already exist, then switch to ongoing sync without changing tools: Azure DevOps to Jira, Jira to Azure DevOps, Jira to Jira, ServiceNow to Jira and more. Migration prices are public, from $1,500 for under 2,000 items, and large volumes of up to a million tasks are handled on custom terms.
Move Work Forward's apps do not offer bulk migration of historical work items. Its two-way sync keeps items aligned once a synchronization exists. If you are moving off TFS, consolidating Jira instances or moving years of history from one tool to another, plan a separate migration tool or choose an integration platform that does both.
Pricing model
Both vendors sell Jira apps through Atlassian's Marketplace, priced by Jira user tier and billed by Atlassian. Neither charges per synced item, per transaction or per API calls, so both are closer to fixed fee pricing than to usage-based integration tools.
Move Work Forward pricing
- Each app is licensed separately on the Marketplace, priced by your Jira user tier
- Move Work Forward lists a free tier plus paid plans for Azure DevOps for Jira and Jigit
- Free trials on every app
- Teams that need several apps (for example Azure DevOps for Jira, Jigit and a Teams connector) pay for each one
Getint pricing
- Jira integrations: one Atlassian Marketplace price based on your Jira user tier for each connector, with free plans for up to 10 Jira Cloud users on select apps; nothing extra to buy for Azure DevOps
- Non-Jira integrations: Team $1,800 a year, Professional (ServiceNow, Salesforce, Azure DevOps) $4,800 a year, Enterprise custom
- Migration: $1,500 for under 2,000 items, $3,000 for up to 20,000 items, custom above that
- A flat-rate pricing model: unlimited syncs, projects and fields, so the price stays the same however much you sync
- Free trials and free sandbox licences
See Getint pricing. For exact Move Work Forward prices at your Jira tier, check each app's Marketplace pricing tab.
For a single Jira Cloud and Azure DevOps dev-panel integration, Move Work Forward is a low-cost option. Once you need sync across several tools like ServiceNow or Salesforce, Data Center, or migration, Getint covers it in one product.
Security, ISO 27001 and data residency
Both vendors take security, data protection and compliance seriously, and both hold SOC 2 Type II. For business critical integrations, security teams usually check four things: certifications, where data is processed, how credentials are stored, and who has control over each integration.
Data residency is often the deciding factor. Cloud-only tools suit smaller teams with lighter security needs, while enterprises with strict data governance usually want a choice. Move Work Forward's newer Jira Cloud apps, such as Capybara, run on Atlassian Forge, so data stays within Atlassian's hosting. Getint's Forge apps work the same way on Jira Cloud, and Getint On-Premise keeps every data flow inside your own network.
If your security requirements include ISO 27001 from every vendor that touches production data, or if sensitive data must never leave your network, Getint covers both. If a SOC 2 Type II report is the main security and compliance requirement, both vendors meet it. Getint adds encryption in transit and at rest, role based access control and security reviews for enterprise procurement. See Getint security.
Monitoring and error handling
Move Work Forward records every two-way sync run in an Activity log on the integration settings page, and its troubleshooting guidance focuses on checking the connection and making sure the Personal Access Token is valid and has not expired.
Getint gives your team full visibility and control at run, flow and item level: a Jira side panel with sync status, a table of every run, clear error descriptions, retries and resync. Customizable notifications go in-app, by email, to Slack or to webhooks, and integrations can be organized into folders with access granted per Jira group.
Support: app vendor or integration partner?
Move Work Forward offers support through its Jira Service Management portal, public documentation, an SLA, and free consultations. Its Marketplace reviews often praise the responsiveness of its team, and its customer logos include Amazon, Microsoft, Dell, BMW and Siemens.
Getint's SLA promises a response within 24 hours, and premium support adds direct access to engineers on Slack. The Getint team acts as an integration partner rather than just an app vendor: it builds features, scripts and custom connectors for enterprise customers, and runs migrations alongside Atlassian partners. Getint publishes more than 50 case studies, including Airbus, Lufthansa and Deloitte.
Use cases: which tool fits
Product managers who need to see developer progress in Jira
If developers work in Azure DevOps, GitHub or GitLab and the main complaint is "Jira doesn't know what happened in the code", Move Work Forward's Azure DevOps for Jira or Jigit is a direct fit. Branches, pull requests, builds and deployments appear on the Jira issue, and smart commits update Jira from commit messages.
Two teams planning the same work in Jira and Azure DevOps
When product owners plan in Jira and engineering plans in Azure Boards, and both need the same epics, features, stories and statuses, Getint keeps the hierarchy intact on both sides. Move Work Forward's new two-way sync covers simpler item-to-item sync on Jira Cloud.
Support escalation from Jira Service Management
Capybara is a light way for agents to raise or link a GitHub, Linear or Azure DevOps item and see progress as internal comments. When the escalation needs full field-level sync, or the other side is ServiceNow, Zendesk, Salesforce or Freshservice, Getint is the fit.
Jira Data Center, regulated environments and on-premise
When Jira runs on Data Center or data must stay inside your network, Getint's Data Center app and on-premise deployment keep the integration behind your firewall, including two-way sync with Azure DevOps Server.
Migrations and tool consolidation
Moving from Azure DevOps or TFS to Jira, merging Jira instances, or moving off ServiceNow or Zendesk: Getint migrates the history, then keeps the systems in sync during the transition.
Chat-first collaboration
If your goal is Jira and Confluence updates in Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Chat, Move Work Forward specializes in this and Getint does not compete here.
Where Move Work Forward is stronger
Move Work Forward has real advantages, and some teams should choose it.
- You mainly need development information in Jira: commits, branches, pull requests, builds and deployments
