Phabricator is amazing and fast compared to JIRA, and better yet is open source and can be quickly tested in Docker or deployed using their official Helm chart.
I disliked JIRA and we switched to Microsoft DevOps about a year ago. Now I really miss JIRA. DevOps is so painful in comparison, especially doing really specialized things like, you know, tracking work items and answering questions like "what's done; what's outstanding". sigh.
