Effortlessly manages large-scale data migrations and improves cost efficiency
There were some areas that could be improved with Avepoint FLY, particularly regarding an issue with the final reporting. While I cannot remember the exact issue, it was related to the final report concerning which files were migrated and what errors occurred. However, this could have been a user problem rather than an application problem.

A highly stable and simple solution used to effectively migrate VMs
The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity. Nutanix Move is a seamless product. You point the solution to your VM. It runs the scripts on the VMs and runs a bunch of scripts on it. Once done on the VMware side, it powers the VM down, disconnects the mix so you don't have any conflicts on your network, and brings up the converted VM on Nutanix, and you're back to work. Depending on the size of the VM and how much data you're seeding, it might be an hour, a day, or two. After the converting piece or a minute's cutover, the solution runs the final scripts, syncs up the last data, and you're back up and running. Nutanix Move is very seamless and does not impact the business.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"If a company is looking for something that is easy to use and not too complicated, this is perfect."
"Some of the best features with Avepoint FLY are that it is very easy to use, and the tool moves files quite quickly."
"The solution is very straightforward to use. It's not overly difficult to figure out."
"The initial setup phase can be described as a very user-friendly one...The solution's technical support was good since they responded very promptly."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AvePoint FLY is its ability to install or use multiple client servers using a single master server and balance the migration load depending on our needs."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity."
"We can change the hypervisor without any downtime."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is how simple it is and the benefit of what it does."
"Nutanix Move has changed helped in making the painful process of migrating from one hypervisor to another better."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The solution is stable."
"The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster."
"The easy migration is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Technical support is lacking in that they don't seem to respond. I do a lot of research myself. I can't rely on them."
"There were some areas that could be improved with Avepoint FLY, particularly regarding an issue with the final reporting. While I cannot remember the exact issue, it was related to the final report concerning which files were migrated and what errors occurred."
"The solution's reporting could be improved because it does not have a lot of reporting capabilities."
"Right now, AvePoint FLY doesn’t provide us with help to identify the size of the mailed items for a certain period."
"The initial setup is a little bit more complex than setting up Cloud Backup for Avepoint."
"When you have regular questions, like how do I do something in the tool or when you want to know when can I do anything in the product, the solution's support team can take around three to four days to give you an answer, or they may even sometimes take more time."
"They should have some tools to migrate the workload from another Nutanix platform."
"I think Nutanix Move could be improved by adding a way to retry failed migrations. Sometimes when seeding fails, there's no way to redo it without recreating the whole migration plan. I'd like a button to restart the process without creating a migration plan."
"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V."
"Nutanix Move could be made more scalable, so you could do more instead of taking five or ten VMs at a time."
"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V. However, we do not have customers who want to, but if we could reassure them that it was possible it would be better. Having our Hyper-V customers have a two-way option that may help. A customer would like to hear that if they do switch they can switch back. I know it's a limitation on Hyper-V but not a limitation on VMware."
"The most valuable feature is the automation. The solution will clone the data that you want to migrate, shut down the virtual machine, disconnect it from the network and start the clone virtual machine inside the solution's platform."
"We cannot use the solution to move a machine from Nutanix to other hypervisors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices of the tool are neither low nor high, so it can be considered a moderately-priced product."
"AvePoint FLY's pricing is good enough for its capabilities."
"There are two different ways of licensing Avepoint FLY. So either you can use set up a licensing form based on objects which we do not recommend because then it will be more costly. So what you do is you set up the migration based on the users instead."
"We are using the trial version and find it to be costly. It's something around $20. With another attachment, the cost was lower, at about $3. However, you seem to have to buy more licenses than you need."
"The product is available for free."
"The solution is open-source."
"It is a free tool."
"The tool is bundled as part of the Nutanix license."
