Kaluza initially explored both Exalate and Backbone as potential solutions. Exalate was quickly ruled out due to its requirement for installation on both Jira instances, which introduced unnecessary complexity. Backbone also demanded dual-sided setup and came with a user-based pricing model that made scaling to customer environments costly. In contrast, Getint offered a simpler and more scalable approach—with a single-sided installation, intuitive auto-mapping features, flexible remote licensing, in-app documentation, and highly responsive, personalized support. These advantages made Getint the clear and preferred choice.
