Atlassian announced Opsgenie's end-of-life: no new purchases since June 4, 2025, and all data deleted April 5, 2027. Migration to Jira Service Management starts at $19/user/mo (a $476/mo bill for a 25-person team). WardenPoint replaces the alerting layer at $29/mo flat — Telegram VoIP, on-call schedules, escalation, all included — without the Atlassian ecosystem lock-in.
Opsgenie sunsets April 5, 2027
You have until April 5, 2027 before Atlassian deletes Opsgenie data. JSM is the Atlassian-pushed successor and costs ~$476/mo at 25 users. WardenPoint Pro is $29 flat regardless of headcount — same alerting + on-call core, no per-seat math, no Atlassian gravity.

Migration plan
Atlassian deletes Opsgenie data on April 5, 2027. The Opsgenie API stays available until then, so export config + parallel-run WardenPoint is the low-risk path. Most teams cut over in 2–4 weeks.
Paste a read-only API token and WardenPoint pulls in your users, teams, on-call schedules and escalation policies from Opsgenie — no manual re-entry. Re-run any time to keep them in sync.
Pull schedules, escalations, teams and integrations via the Opsgenie REST API (GET /v2/schedules, /v2/escalations, /v2/teams, /v2/integrations) or the CSV export in the UI. Stash the JSON in a repo for review.
Re-create on-call schedules, escalation chains and recipient groups in the WardenPoint dashboard. Most Opsgenie constructs translate cleanly: schedules → on-call schedules, teams → recipient groups, escalation rules → escalation policies. 1–2 hours for a typical 25-person team.
Configure your monitoring sources (Grafana, Prometheus, Sentry, Zabbix) to fire both Opsgenie and WardenPoint. Opsgenie remains primary while you compare.
Watch the WardenPoint audit log against the Opsgenie incident history. Tune policy until parity (or improvement) on real alerts.
Switch monitoring sources to WardenPoint-primary. Cancel the Opsgenie subscription. If you still need two-way Jira ticket sync, wire WardenPoint outbound webhooks into a Jira automation rule.
