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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature is the live, block-to-block replication."
"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."
"Live Migration's best feature is that it's free."
"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."
"CloudEndure is a product that I recommend to my customers because it's very easy to implement, configure, and use."
"I rate AWS Application Migration Service a nine out of ten overall."
"The installation process and configuration processes are very straightforward, and in terms of maintenance, it's pretty easy as one person can handle it."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
 

Cons

"There are some features in the Migration Factory that could be integrated directly into AWS Application Migration Service."
"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."
"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."
"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."
"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."
"However, I give it a six mainly due to the compatibility issues with legacy systems, which is an individual problem I am currently facing."
"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."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

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."
