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
I recently purchased and am currently using Dell SharePoint Deployment Manager (they made an official announcemnt today 06.04.13 that they are dropping Quest and using Dell only from now on…) to migrate from WSS 3.0 to SPS 2013 EE. I have nothing but good things to say so far. It copies lists, libraries, Sites, Site Collections, workflows, solutions (all which I have done successfully). It also does a live compare and you can copy over only selected items. So, as I prepare to go live in the 2013 environment, I will do a live compare of sites and update before throwing the switch. You can also say “any changes after a certain date” but I prefer to select manually.
Post activity reports/details… you can import data from CSV files as well but I haven’t done that, not sure I ever will.
I thought it was a reasonable price, especially now as the migration has been stress free and accurate (so far)….
Needless to say, I’m a happy customer.
