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
My experience it really depends what and where you should migrate to, OnPremise, SharePoint Online.
I checked some products; Metavis, Quest, Metalogix when I had a project migrating to Office 365 (SharePoint online) from SharePoint 2007, and it just gave me a big headache. We landed on Quest, but I had to manually create every SiteCollection, activate the features, and then I could copy the data, just that since the users was different, I also had to create a mapping file for the users. So to be able to use this product you had to invest alot of hours in learning how it works. The clients project of course also used the Fabulous 30 templates from Microsoft and that didn’t make the migration any easier.
