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.

Simple, easy, automated procedure to migrate on-premise Oracle Databases to the cloud seamlessly
For now, it is supported on the Linux platform with the 11gR2, 12cR1, 12cR2, 18c and 19c Oracle Database versions. Oracle should start supporting other operating systems, including Windows, Unix, and other OS platforms. It should also support migration between different DB versions and platforms to have this solution adopted by more companies. They should provide the interface in GUI along with the CLI. This will simplify configuration and DBAs with little experience could also start using the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very easy to use. What I like is that if there is an error, for each task, I can find out what actually went wrong."
"It has made my life easier."
"Overall, it's a very good tool, and if I require another migration in the future, I will definitely go with this tool only."
"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."
"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."
"It's a one-stop shop for tenant-to-tenant migration, negating the requirement for various tooling and additional license costs."
"We can easily and simply work out the cost for any migration work that is required with the licensing model."
"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."
"Zero Downtime Migration provides a simple, easy automated solution for on-premise Oracle Database migration to Oracle Cloud and Exadata Cloud at Customer (ExaCC). We have used this approach to migrate a couple of our 12c databases to the cloud and managed to reduce the required downtime significantly. This approach provides pause/restart, monitoring, and auditing capabilities to help the migration process."
 

Cons

"It's the Teams stuff, especially, that is not that solid."
"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."
"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."
"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."
"In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated."
"They should introduce a module for migrating power automation for users."
"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."
"We had some issues with migrating Teams."
"Oracle should start supporting other operating systems, including Windows, Unix, and other OS platforms. It should also support migration between different DB versions and platforms to have this solution adopted by more companies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."
"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"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."
"It is more than fair for what you get."
"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 product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."
"Oracle ZDM comes absolutely free of cost. There is no additional licensing required for use of this software."
