Quest On Demand Migration Valuable Features

It's completely web-based.

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.

You can migrate different aspects of the tenancy in a structured way.

The interface is very good. It all makes sense. There's good logging and feedback. 

We only have the most basic license, so we only used it to migrate mailboxes. It does support the migration of Teams chats, etc. We haven't used that part of the product. However, it is good that it is doable.

The ease of use is pretty good. I did need some technical support. It did not work straight out of the box. The support was very good and very quick, so I could do what I needed to do. 

The data security the solution provides for tenant to tenant is good. There is an element of having to trust the solution. However, the conversation with their technical people gave me confidence in the security.

I didn't need to reach out to technical support too much. And the more I worked with the solution, the more I understood it. I barely needed assistance.

The greatest asset is its nature as a SaaS product, offering exceptional scalability and flexibility, which are invaluable to us.

The standout features of the solution that proved most advantageous during our migration process were its robustness and the capability for coexistence within the same product. This was particularly beneficial for our phased migration approach, as it ensured smooth transitions and accommodated our long-term project requirements effectively.

The security features of the solution effectively fulfilled our data protection requirements. Quest prioritizes security, offering a comprehensive security guide that addresses any concerns customers may have. This resource helps clarify how all aspects of security are managed within the tool, reassuring our clients about the safety of their data.

The most valuable feature is that it enables to see any issues that may come up during the migration. 

We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365. This is another feature we like. We don't know which our acquisitions will be using so it helps with that. It'll help us become more agile.

What I like is that for each use case, I can choose a module or a different combination of modules. For example, for a merge for a use case, all I have to do is just order a different license, and that's it. I like the migration module because it's straightforward. I can use it for all services within Office 365. That's what I like about it.

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. If I'm lost, I can contact Quest support. They're very reactive. They're very helpful, but generally, it's straightforward.

The OneDrive email migrations are pretty solid. The solution supports multiple workloads. It is very important to us. The dashboard is pretty easy to use once we use it once or twice. The data is pretty secure. It uses Microsoft's back end, so it is probably as secure as it can be. It is a pretty robust migration platform.

We realized the benefits of the tool before deploying it. We researched well to find a good tool. It is very important to us that the product supports the migration of Microsoft Teams, including chats, when it comes to user and customer collaboration. Users want to migrate Teams. The product has everything that is needed for our users to collaborate. The success rate of migrations using Quest is pretty good. I only had a couple of issues where I had to open a case.

As the project manager, I really like the dashboard feature where I can see what the progress is. That allows me to do some easy reporting. The dashboard is incredibly easy to use. Even a non-IT persona could look at the dashboard and get all the information they need to know.

Also, the solution supports multiple workloads. We've got Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Azure under the same place. It's really easy to see the progress in each of those areas. It's very important to have everything in one place. Otherwise, we'd have to use different platforms to handle different parts of the migration.

We also have no issue with the security or the privacy surrounding it. They seem to have thought of those elements.

In addition, it's absolutely critical that On Demand Migration is ISO-certified. As a company, we are not exposing ourselves to risk during the day-to-day. And when we are choosing a migration partner, we have to assess all of those types of requirements. If a solution is not as certified as we are, then we're not going to go with it. The fact that this solution is ISO-certified is incredibly important.

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. 

Quest's support for multiple workloads is critical, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. Once you've linked Exchange, Teams, and OneDrive, you can easily implement a policy for the workloads and migrate them all simultaneously. 

The interface is easy to use. They have a project card for each or each tenant. We are merging two universities, so each has its own project card to manage users or devices. The interface is clear, so you aren't confused about where you are going or which department you are migrating to. The project cards are nicely displayed on the interface. The workflows or desktop agents that are interlinked with the policies are given a separate module where you can see all the policies or workflows that you can set up for migrating the environment.

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.

It's a "one-stop shop" for tenant-to-tenant migration, negating the requirement for various tooling and additional license costs. We can easily and simply work out the cost for any migration work that is required with the licensing model.

The ease of use is great. We can begin skilling multiple members of the team to support concurrent M&A migrations to offer better support to our businsses ambitions around growth.

Being able to migrate on-prem directory synced accounts/shared mailboxes to cloud-only is a huge plus point for those wanting to move away from the traditional Active Directory.

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
  • migrating all Azure AD objects.

These three parts are really solid.

It's really easy to configure and you don't have to deal with errors. It's migration that I would call "fire-and-forget."
