Zephyr
Zephyr offers both a Windows Server standalone community edition and a JIRA plugin. We have been evaluating the JIRA plugin version – it's unclear whether we will need to pay for this addon or if we get it free since we are open source.
Tarantula
Tried installing Tarantula using the Docker centos:6 image and following the instructions in the README. The project itself is out of date and no longer maintained. The installation process failed. Tarantula has no JIRA integration. We would need to host our own installation. Requires old Centos (6) and Ruby (1.9) versions.
Klaros
http://www.klaros-testmanagement.com/en/
The Klaros system has a fairly involved installation, but is basically a webapp running under Derby. Unfortunately, the free version has no mechanism for adding users. Our only option appears to be to use the existing example users in the system or devise a method for adding users in the backend. Klaros has no JIRA integration. We will need to host our own installation.
