Auditing changes has become faster and now uncovers misconfigurations within minutes

The best features Change Auditor for Active Directory offers are that it's lightweight and easy to understand. You don't have to memorize event IDs since it's in English. What makes Change Auditor for Active Directory lightweight and easy to understand in my experience is that it doesn't require the events to record to the domain controllers. Therefore, I can focus just on the event types without having to turn up detailed logging on my DCs. Change Auditor for Active Directory has positively impacted my organization by helping us respond to audits very quickly to show that we had evidence of who was making the changes and match them up to the ticket request and who approved it. After implementing Change Auditor for Active Directory, it has allowed us to answer questions literally in minutes, whereas it would have taken us half a day to a day before.

Has migrated user mailboxes and collaboration data with minimal challenges

I'm currently working with On Demand Migration solution from Quest. I am providing feedback regarding my experience with On Demand Migration. I have used automated scheduling in On Demand Migration. I can run immediate migration or schedule it as per my convenience, but I have used the run immediately option because I needed it on an urgent basis. The effectiveness of On Demand Migration detailed reporting in managing migration progress is quite good, as there is a report option where I can see what migration got successfully completed, which failed, and even the problem ID and event ID, allowing me to troubleshoot easily on the demand portal. I have not explored the data filtering options. I have not explored data filtering for filtering the data. In terms of data security, we are using independent DLP for data protection in our organization. I have not explored features such as AI functionality or additional security aspects, as I have explored only On Demand Migration for mailbox, Teams chat, Teams channel, and OneDrive. For O365 to O365, it's a very good and easy tool, so I can recommend anyone using O365 to O365 tenant migration to go with On Demand Migration. My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the ability to protect Active Directory accounts and groups, and the real-time notifications that help manage Active Directory more effectively."

"Change Auditor for Active Directory has positively impacted my organization by helping us respond to audits very quickly to show that we had evidence of who was making the changes and match them up to the ticket request and who approved it."

"The data is pretty secure."

"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 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 most valuable features of Quest On Demand Migration have been the M365 migration and Active Directory (AD) migration components."

"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 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."

"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."

Cons

"Areas that could be improved include having more management capabilities with command-line scripts and more flexibility in general."

"Change Auditor for Active Directory could be improved if the client were more flexible when installed, so if I upgrade the server, I wouldn't have to replace the clients at the same time."

"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."

"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."

"They could provide on-premises to online exchange components for the platform. It would be highly valuable."

"We had some issues with migrating Teams."

"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."

"They should introduce a module for migrating power automation for users."

"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."

"It is more than fair for what you get."

"The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."

"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 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."

"The pricing is in line with other products."

"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."

Quest Software

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."
