Cloudiway excels in comples cross-tenant microsoft 365 migrations, especially with coexistence needs during data merges. It's also ideal for Slack to teams and archive migrations. However it is less suited for small scale or one off migrations due to cost and the time it takes to configure.

If you have a lot of customers that all need to have a separate place to work in, without the possibility of getting in each other way, and you want to safe yourself a lot of work. Than I strongly recommend you Cloud director. Ofcourse, only if you have a VMware environment as your working environment. If you just have a small group of customers and you can easily handle the work that's coming from it, then it is overkill to add cloud director to your environment. In a later station, you can always introduce cloud director (so tis never to late if you still want to use it)

  • The add-on/extension required on the internet browser sometimes are difficult to get working at first. We've experience instances where the add-on/extension latest versions will not work and have to downgrade to an older version.
  • The server console lacks features and tools. For example it would be useful to have a copy and paste tool or a file upload tool.
  • The vCloud Director management site uses Adobe Flash, which makes it impossible to use on a mobile device.

Usability

Perfect rating, cloudiway migration offers a clean interface, intutitive setup, and powerful automation tools. There is a slight learning curve but you get what you pay for. They really handle the problem of data migration well, and they have decent support/FAQ pages to guide you if you're stuck. Overall 10/10

I see Cloudiway is a great solution for those who want to migrate and transfer there data, especially sensitive and very important valuable data to data storage. It's just a flexible, cost-effective tool for any budget, depending on the company's understanding of how to work with. That's our case. Another option was own scripting or maintaining the end users in the backend. This costs to much time to maintain (scripting) and has a big change of a Security breach. It was not an option for us either way.

vCloud Director is definitely my favorite as far as cloud managers. The only thing that compares is Cisco UCS Director, but it has slightly different functionality and purpose. I understand why a lot of clients still go with vCloud Director even though VMware intends to sunset it
