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.

Fair price, responsive support, and everything comes through as we expect

It does what you think it would do in terms of the dashboard, but we are typically migrating a subset of the users, and it always shows us the macro view. If there was a way to scope it down to just the users that are in scope, that would be more useful. 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. They even have a button on the console saying Send An Idea, so it is hard to fault, but I wish they could do discovery through a pop-up dialogue. I would like a drag-and-drop matching of accounts and mailboxes. I would like to be able to map multiple mailboxes from multiple sources to one mailbox.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"We can see the issues that may come up during migration. We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365."

"We can easily and simply work out the cost for any migration work that is required with the licensing model."

"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."

"The greatest asset is its nature as a SaaS product, offering exceptional scalability and flexibility, which are invaluable to us."

"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

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

"Quest On Demand Migration needs to simplify its migration with Microsoft."

"We had some issues with migrating Teams."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle ZDM comes absolutely free of cost. There is no additional licensing required for use of this software."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

Overview

Simple, Automated, One button approach solution for moving your Oracle Databases into the Oracle Cloud

Oracle

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."
