Opsgenie vs. JSM RFP template: Questions to ask before buying

Atlassian's decision to sunset standalone Opsgenie by April 5, 2027, necessitates a thorough vendor evaluation for incident management solutions, with many teams gravitating toward Jira Service Management (JSM) due to its integration with Atlassian's ecosystem. However, this transition requires a critical assessment of JSM's suitability, given its IT service management origins, which could introduce friction for teams deeply embedded in Slack and reliant on SRE workflows. The document suggests using a comprehensive RFP template to uncover potential gaps in total cost of ownership, AI capabilities, integration with existing systems, and vendor support, emphasizing the need to assess if the move enhances incident management or merely replaces one legacy tool with another. Alternatives like incident.io are presented as viable options, particularly for teams favoring Slack-native, engineering-focused platforms that offer streamlined incident coordination and response management, potentially reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) and increasing operational efficiency.
