Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level.""Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."

More Carbonite Migrate Pros →

"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.""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.""The data is pretty secure.""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.""The greatest asset is its nature as a SaaS product, offering exceptional scalability and flexibility, which are invaluable to us.""We can see the issues that may come up during migration. We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365.""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."

Cons
"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.""We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"

More Carbonite Migrate Cons →

"They should introduce a module for migrating power automation for users.""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.""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.""They could provide on-premises to online exchange components for the platform. It would be highly valuable.""Their support interface is not so great because you need to go through several links before you can raise the ticket. Sometimes the interface freezes up, and there is some downtime. They give us some notice. It says at the top of the interface that there will be scheduled maintenance in a given region or there is currently an outage. You can see upcoming downtime in the portal and plan accordingly.""We had some issues with migrating Teams.""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.""In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated. They just don't look exactly the same as they would if you were logging on as normal. Obviously, when it comes to the user experience, you want the look and feel of everything to be replicated identically, and chats is the only part of it that doesn't look identical. However, it's not a 'car crash.' It's a slight deviation from what people would expect."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing costs are really high."
  • "In terms of pricing, I think it's an expensive tool."
  • More Carbonite Migrate Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution is on the more expensive side, when you compare it not only to BitTitan but to other tools in the cloud market. Of course, you receive things like Quest's support organization."
  • "I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."
  • "It is quite cheap. Previously, I used to work for a big company, and they get quite a good deal, and now, I'm working for a small company, and even they get quite a good deal. So, its pricing is quite fair."
  • "We are fine with the tool's pricing."
  • "The pricing is in line with other products."
  • "The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."
  • "It is more than fair for what you get."

    Overview

    Carbonite Migrate allows you to easily migrate physical, virtual and cloud workloads to and from any environment with minimal risk and near-zero downtime. Options for finely tuned automation help orchestrate every stage of the process.

    Quest On Demand Migration is a complete Office 365 migration solution that allows users to migrate all of their workloads and Active Directory quickly and securely. On Demand Migration provides the ability to migrate all Office 365 running solutions, like OneDrive, Exchange, Teams SharePoint, and on-premises Active Directory. As a result, users can now streamline Active Directory domain consolidation and migration in the cloud. In addition, direct synchronization supports the ability to maintain migrated and un-migrated users, applications, and devices in sync during a migration.

    Quest On Demand Migration offers the ability to track progress in real time and an intuitive dashboard allowing for complete visibility into a migration project. On Demand Migration is an excellent solution for companies in the beginning or midst of a merger and acquisition, as well as organizations looking to consolidate multiple tenants within their organization. The solution simplifies daily tenant-to-tenant migrations while allowing users to communicate and collaborate harmoniously. Additionally, with On Demand Migration, users can now move between various email platforms with a secure SaaS solution.

    Benefits of Quest On Demand Migration

    Quest On Demand Migration is a powerful migration solution that aims to assist organizations with various workloads. Since few organizations perform daily tenant migrations, Microsoft doesn’t have native tools to assist with these tasks.

    In addition to the security and ease of use the solution provides, On Demand Migration offers many benefits. Some of these include:

    • Migrate Teams automatically while ensuring continued accessibility and compliance without losing access to valuable data.

    • Provides a near-zero impact with a complete approach to tenant-to-tenant migration with ease.

    • Discover and assess associated data before a migration through the intuitive dashboard.

    • Migrate Teams and preserve valuable data and channel conversations across the organization without losing content or access.

    • Merge and rename Teams as the migration takes place to the new tenant.

    • On Demand Migration offers several tier solutions to fit an organization's needs and budgets.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Quest On Demand Migration is a favored solution among users for a variety of reasons, such as its stability in mailbox migration. On Demand Migration for Email allows users to seamlessly migrate their mailbox data for a variety of email platforms through a flexible solution. While most users choose the solution for a Gmail migration tool, users can migrate data from Sun Once/iPlanet, Zimbra, POP/IMAP, Exchange, to Office 365, or on-premises or hosted Exchange without installing migration software.

    Reto K., an independant consultant at Krebs IT-services, notes, "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."
