Quest Migration Manager has been used to solve a variety of business problems related to server consolidation and data migration. The software provides a cost-effective, time-saving solution for businesses merging or consolidating their Active Directory infrastructure. With its ability to rapidly migrate Active Directory and consolidate domains, users report saving significant amounts of time compared to other tools. In addition, the automation features and ability to schedule tasks make it easy to merge sites with different numbers of computers.

Another major use case is migrating Lotus Notes databases to SharePoint platforms. Users reported that creating a job for migration was a simple process, and the software easily identified source fields and allowed them to use Lotus formulas in it. The ability to save jobs and reuse them later was a major benefit, as was the ease of learning and understanding the software.

Quest Migration Manager has also been useful for cross-domain migration and cloud migration. It solves problems such as user group sync and computer migration between domains. Users were able to synchronize and migrate domains with two child domains, reporting excellent support from the vendor and the ability to schedule synchronizations with incremental updates. Overall, Quest Migration Manager offers an efficient solution for businesses facing complex server consolidation and data migration challenges.

User-friendly interface: Several users have mentioned that Quest Migration Manager has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to access important information during migration. The simplicity of the tool and its ease of usage were appreciated by reviewers who used the software even without any formal training.

Comprehensive features: Many reviewers praised the comprehensive features of Quest Migration Manager, which allowed for seamless migration of services with no impact. Users found that the tool was versatile as it enabled configuration of almost everything required for migration.

Minimal data loss: According to several reviews, automation in Quest Migration Manager minimized data loss during migrations. This feature is critical when handling sensitive data, making it a valuable aspect of the software according to reviewers.

Complexity: Some users have found Quest Migration Manager to be very complex, lacking a clear implementation guide covering all the bases, including more advanced scripting and automation facets. The software requires a few days of training, and users would prefer to have more written documentation available initially to get prepared.

Office 365 Support: Users have reported that Quest Migration Manager is battling with Microsoft's Office 365 activation issues, and there is no official support yet for this. Users have been trying to execute scripts on the migrated boxes to mitigate this but it has been challenging.

Configuration Time/Cost: Quest Manager configuration takes time, needing simplification for one-time activity. The price for large migrations could also be a concern for some users.

In addition to the previous recommendations, users have found Quest migration manager to be a very helpful tool. They highly recommend using it for cross-migrations and Office 365 migration. Users also suggest utilizing this tool for domain migrations, as it requires minimal manual intervention. To further improve the user experience, users recommend adding a tips section that provides guidance for different data migration scenarios. Additionally, users emphasize the importance of a well-designed dashboard that allows easy tracking of data movement during the migration process.

Our company had several Windows XP workstations used by facility employees, plant workers, and electrical analyzers to gauge several machine outputs and data. These XP machines had very specific measuring applications installed (We had nearly 220 applications in total) that were designed and installed during the Windows XP days.

With recent IT Security news and Windows XP being obsolete, we wanted to upgrade to Windows 7.
We used Dell ChangeBASE to analyze our Windows XP machines to find out if any of these unique applications were able to run on Windows 7. In the end, everything was successful and all but 2 applications migrated with no issues.
  • OS Patch Testing - We further used this to test Microsoft's Patch Tuesday releases before we put them in production.
  • Web Dashboard - The latest version added a fully customization dashboard with widgets to give you an at-a-glance view.
  • Application comparability - We used this to test our Windows XP to Windows 7 migration.
  • Initial setup can be tricky - We needed to contact support for some help.
  • Prior to the latest version, there wasn't an easy way to view all of our results. The new dashboard has rectified this.
Dell ChangeBASE is well suited in migrating an OS to a new version, or 32/64-bit. It's also helpful when virtualizating workstations into Thin Clients for use with Citrix or other thin provisioning services.
  • ROI was seen after 10 months of use.
  • Greatly sped up the application testing process by several weeks, and allowed our existing development team to continue working on other projects.
  • Admin Studio
Dell ChangeBASE is more costly when compared to Admin Studio, I believe the price was almost double. However, Admin Studio did not provide a comfortable level of support and we felt we were in better hands with Dell's patching schedule. Admin Studio wasn't able to answer our question on when they released software updates and how complex an upgrade would be.
