Tell HN: Atlassian is blackmailing me with my company's shadow IT
> 2 products created in the past 24 hours > Your users currently administer 2 products outside the [redacted] organization. > > For details about each product and admin contact information, subscribe to Atlassian Access. Use these details to stay ahead of where company data is stored and start a discussion about transferring the products to your organization.
In other words: they notified me that two employees have used their company-managed(!) accounts to subscribe to additional Atlassian services. They however refuse to give me any further details unless we subscribe to a pricier Atlassian Access subscription.
Don't get me wrong: I do understand that you have to pay for typical 'enterprise' features that give you more control over compliance and (aguably) security, but this is outright a disgraceful agressive way of upselling. Their basic plans are a joke. They intentionally lure employees to new products and then they blackmail you into buying those.
We're going look for alternatives like linear.app or a self hosted Jetbrains Youtrack.
