User Testimonials
	Azure Data Box	IBM Lift
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft No answers on this topic	IBM IBM Lift is the most effective tool for migrating mass data from different on-premises applications into the cloud with high speed. I would recommend it since it offers two data migration options; Disk transfer service and cloud mass data migration, which all work perfectly well.

Alternatives Considered	Microsoft No answers on this topic	IBM Before Implementing IBM Lift at SquareTrade, we were using AWS Database Migration Service, which was not only expensive but didn’t offer automatic rapid recovery from common issues during data migration.
