What experience do you have with SharePoint migration tools ? Which ones the best, easiest to use, best value for money ?
Reason for asking is I am considering doing a special newsletter which compares and contrasts them, but don’t have the experience with all of them… So if you have used one, let me know your thoughts and share as much as possible…
UPDATE! Since asking this there are now two articles on here that really help. Here is a fantastic SharePoint Migration Tool Comparison report put together by Alex Dove and this guide helps you select a good SharePoint Migration Tool.
We’ve also created a new category on our directory that lists virtually all of them. Best Office 365 Migration Tools.
Thanks in advance, Mark
Mark, I have been involved in dozens of migrations which exposed me to several of the leading migration tools:
Metalogix – ran into a product bug when using it a few years ago, a second project went a bit better but not my first choice.
Metavis -fewer features than some but for a doc warehouse farm it worked fairly well.
DocAve -a gpod choice of features (many you wont need/use)
Quest (haven’t used it since Dell bought them) was a good choice for quick migrations.
Of those I would say DocAve had the most appeal to non-engineering teams.Â
The functionality these products offer can be done through a well planned and executed in house migration solution which is what I champion in most scenarios.
