Find out what your peers are saying about Quest Software, BitTitan, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Migration Tools."Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."
"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."
"The solution is really stable when it comes to mailbox migration and all of the following work very well: the mail content, the OneDrive for Business content, and migrating all Azure AD objects."
"We can easily and simply work out the cost for any migration work that is required with the licensing model."
"Quest allows you to customize your migration. For example, you can opt only to migrate Microsoft Teams and the related data or you can migrate all of Office 365. You can also choose to migrate accounts and mailboxes. Sometimes, we don't want to migrate SharePoint data, or we only want to migrate specific users."
"They have a demo version that you can test before you purchase it so you can see that it does what you need before you commit financially."
"It's very easy to use. What I like is that if there is an error, for each task, I can find out what actually went wrong."
"The data is pretty secure."
"You can batch up large groups. You can tell it to move everything for 200 people, and then it just goes. Once you get things set and configured, it is pretty easy. I can hand it off to people more junior to me who are less trained on the product, and they can be successful."
"The greatest asset is its nature as a SaaS product, offering exceptional scalability and flexibility, which are invaluable to us."
"We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"
"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration."
"One of the things that can be included is automation. For the matching and the migration process, they could put in some automation. I'm only allowed about 25 users at a time. If it's a large tenant, it takes quite a while to put them in the batches. If there is enough automation into that, that'd be perfect."
"It's definitely the Microsoft Teams functionality that has a lot of aspects where improvements are needed. Microsoft 365 Groups are tightly connected to Teams and there are a lot of improvements needed there as well."
"We had some issues with migrating Teams."
"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."
"They could provide on-premises to online exchange components for the platform. It would be highly valuable."
"Quest On Demand Migration needs to simplify its migration with Microsoft."
"One significant issue that often elicited complaints during domain migration was the need to set the primary UPN for objects once they were migrated to the target."
"It would be more useful if I could scope the dashboard. I would like to be able to scope the users that I want to see to a much smaller list. When I am looking into a tenant with 35,000 accounts, and I am only moving 2,000 of them, I wish that the guys had been smarter about the discovery, and I could have only discovered those accounts, but there is not too much to complain about."
