Automation has simplified migrations and now needs to address complex legacy compatibility
The features I like the most about AWS Application Migration Service is its ease of use. That's the main thing. It's ease of use, and they have a detailed walkthrough, especially depending on different operating systems. The automation capabilities of AWS actually eliminate the long time and input that I have to put into migration. These days, I just run the agent, and then the agent does the job. All I have to do is actually look at the current migration status on the AWS dashboard. When it's done, I then do a quick switch over to the cloud. The key thing I really love is the simple moving of files from on-prem to the cloud.

Migration projects have become faster and have saved significant time on complex workloads
OpenText Migrate is our primary tool. I know they have a lot of other products like DNS and tools from cybersecurity, but we don't use it at this time. On Demand Recovery, for recovery, we use another tool from OpenText. It's C2C. It's a product to back up the mailbox. I don't know what I can find at this time. So maybe yes, but the last time I used it was a few months ago. It does the job, so I don't have an opinion on this currently. They don't have a lot of marketing actions. We know this product because we are an OpenText partner for the C2C. But it's another division. It's another part of the company. So we don't have a lot of information. So, I think they can improve the communication for the end-user because a lot of customers do not know OpenText, and they don't know they can provide this type of tool. My overall rating for this product is 9.

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

Pros

"CloudEndure is a product that I recommend to my customers because it's very easy to implement, configure, and use."
"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the solution's support a ten out of ten."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."
"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."
"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."
"OpenText Migrate is a very good product because it is an older product and they have a lot of tools, and they have a lot of experience on the migration tools."
"It is a good third-party migration tool because it can be used with clients who have heterogeneous environments."
"Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."
 

Cons

"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"However, I give it a six mainly due to the compatibility issues with legacy systems, which is an individual problem I am currently facing."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."
"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."
"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"Carbonite failed when moving GIS data."
"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved."
"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."
"The pricing for the customer is always too expensive."
"We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"
"If we had to move 100 applications across a multi-cloud environment, then this solution would not work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."
"Live Migration's price is good."
"In terms of pricing, I think it's an expensive tool."
"The licensing costs are really high."
