How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2

we've seen some market data that have indicated somewhat of a resurgence in developer hiring. Does that align with what you're seeing and hearing across your clients?

Labor MarketSubscriber GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q4 →
Show response

James noted broad-based seat expansion in core Jira and Confluence (roughly two-thirds knowledge workers) alongside Teamwork Collection growth. Mike said customer signals point to more developers over five years plus growth in non-developer technology builders in finance, HR, and marketing.

Calendar 2026 Q1

can you unpack the drivers of the seat growth for us? And secondly, is this a dynamic that you think can be durable?

Subscriber GrowthCloud & AIRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q3 →
Show response

James attributed cloud outperformance to cross-sell (Teamwork and Service Collections) and seat expansion, not migrations. Teamwork Collection best vehicle for AI credits (10x vs standalone). Mike cited NRR north of 120% ticking up for third or fourth consecutive quarter. AI blurring boundaries between teams expands platform reach.

Calendar 2025 Q4

what are your thoughts on the medium to longer-term prospects of Anthropic's CoWork as a competitive alternative to Jira?

Competitive DynamicsCloud & AITranscript · FY2026 Q2 →
Show response

Mike framed Anthropic as partner, not competitor. CoWork uses Atlassian MCP server to access Teamwork Graph. New AI tools require data and exchange points that Atlassian provides. Human-AI collaboration remains central, approval workflows and business processes accelerated but not eliminated.

Calendar 2025 Q3

I'm wondering if it's possible to give us a rough sense of the size of this cohort

Cloud & AIGuidance ReliabilityTranscript · FY2026 Q1 →
Show response

Mike confirmed cohort is statistically relevant without giving specific size. Joe stated business fundamentally stronger, will show up in better bookings and better CRPO, driven by Q1 outperformance and greater migration volume.

Calendar 2025 Q2

how do you convince a lot more Global 2000 organizations to equipped every salesperson in every finance, HR, marketing and legal professional with an Atlassian license?

Subscriber GrowthCompetitive DynamicsRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2025 Q4 →
Show response

Mike cited momentum in tool consolidation, continued business user segment growth, Teamwork Collection separating software from collaboration offerings, Loom driving adoption in sales teams, and Rovo connectors enabling cross-functional AI workflows.

Calendar 2025 Q1

was that back-end linearity enough to impact the Q3 cloud revenue growth?

Revenue GrowthDemandTranscript · FY2025 Q3 →
Show response

Joe confirmed deal timing impacted cloud revenue growth with revenue expected in Q4. Data center growth impacted by fewer multi-year agreements and shorter average duration.

Calendar 2024 Q4

can you touch on how challenging you think the path is or may be for Atlassian to get in front of C-level executives

Revenue GrowthCompetitive DynamicsTranscript · FY2025 Q2 →
Show response

Mike said C-level access is not a problem. Cited a large telco wanting Atlassian as top-four strategic vendor, reflecting platform breadth and system-of-work value proposition.

Calendar 2024 Q3

have any changes been made to how the engineering teams are oriented that helps explain the flurry of product innovation

Innovation & R&DCapex InvestmentTranscript · FY2025 Q1 →
Show response

Mike attributed the innovation pace to cloud platform maturity enabling faster product development, rather than structural organizational changes.

what might be unique about your Agentic SecOps and what it will unlock for your customers

Innovation & R&DCloud & AITranscript · FY2026 Q4 →
Show response

Jay cited three differentiators: Zscaler's proprietary telemetry of over 750 billion daily transaction logs as the starting point for SecOps, an agent-native architecture where AI agents detect and investigate at machine speed rather than human-driven automation, and closed-loop remediation within minutes via integration with the Zero Trust Exchange. He expects meaningful contribution starting in the second half of fiscal 2027 and into fiscal 2028.

Jay acknowledged EMEA execution gaps but did not detail specific issues. Noted competitive dynamics are not fundamentally different across regions and expressed confidence in turning EMEA around.

Calendar 2026 Q1

when you kind of look deeper at these non-seat-based solutions, you gave some good color in your prepared remarks, but can you help us better understand what's really most resonating

Product LaunchRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q2 →
Show response

Jay explained metered pricing covers Zero Trust Branch, Cloud, AI security (token-based), and even some user use cases (contractors, guest Wi-Fi, B2B). Expects metered share to grow, especially with billions of AI agents requiring Zero Trust Exchange.

Calendar 2025 Q1

I was curious if you're seeing more adoption thus far from small, midsized or larger enterprises

DemandCompetitive DynamicsTranscript · FY2025 Q2 →

Jay confirmed focus on larger enterprises. Bullish on tripling Zero Trust Everywhere count in 18 months based on customer feedback.

Can you talk about the role that you expect CrowdStrike to play here?

George said the executive order should be a federal tailwind but did not separately quantify any guidance impact (Burt did not get to respond).

Calendar 2025 Q1

given that we're running into the law of larger numbers, would just be helpful to get your perspective on the growth outlook for CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. on AWS marketplace

Geographic ExpansionRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2025 Q4 →
Show response

Kurtz expressed strong optimism noting international expansion opportunities and that cloud marketplace is becoming the preferred procurement channel for enterprise customers.

Calendar 2024 Q4

how we should generally be thinking about what these strong bookings might mean for revenue recognition and ARR when we look down the road?

Revenue GrowthGuidance ReliabilityTranscript · FY2025 Q3 →
Show response

Burt attributed RPO acceleration to longer deal durations from CCPs, CrowdStrike Financial Services, and Flex. Did not provide specific cRPO detail or explicit revenue recognition timeline.

how pervasive can this become amongst your NetSec installed base? And how strong is the monetization opportunity associated with that

Product LaunchRevenue GrowthTranscript · FY2026 Q1 →

Nikesh noted 80-90% of white-collar work happens in browsers, creating major security surface. POC found 167 compromised browsers out of 5,000 tested. Monetization primarily strategic today as browser is fungible as SASE endpoint. Target is 100 million secure browser deployments.

Calendar 2024 Q4

if you were to look at traction with legacy trade-ins versus introductory offers or more multiproduct incentives, what would you say is resonating the most with customers?

Competitive DynamicsPricingTranscript · FY2025 Q1 →
Show response

Nikesh highlighted eliminating execution risk as the top resonating factor: starting deployment immediately while customers continue paying incumbents, then converting payment when existing contracts expire.
