re:solution vs Atlassian API Token

Some apps are built differently

We took on the task of deeply testing, analyzing, and comparing re:solution’s API token for Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket with Atlassian’s Data Center and Server built-in feature. The results surprised us. Some vital Token Security features implemented in this plugin are unmatched.

But don’t take our word for it; check the results on your own and let us know your thoughts.

Integration & Compatibility
