Overall Satisfaction with SysTools Migration Tools

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When employees move from one division to another the tool is used to migrate from one sub domain to another. So in the dynamic world we live in as employees move from one division to another and the subdomain on their email accounts change; SysTools Migration Tools easily keeps up with the changing workforce.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Allows you to corral different mail systems and make them compatible for migration
Migrates user accounts when switching from one system to another quickly.
Backing up data for security it is one of the best aspects of the product

Cons

Needs to be dynamic in set up
Need to be able to correct settings after set up- you need to ensure everything is correct because you cannot change it once you set it up.
Maybe offer AI based help?

Return on Investment

ROI versus time saved in manpower is top notch
Sometimes divisions get sold a “bill of goods” solution that isn’t right for them but they don’t realize it until it’s been implemented and then at first opportunity they want to move to something else. SysTools Migration Tools is great for that
My only complaint is that the set up has to be perfect and you cannot change the settings- sometimes that’s frustrating

Usability

It’s fantastic when it works but it’s a little too rigid in wanting everything set up perfectly upfront with no wiggle room to change a setting afterwards

Alternatives Considered

BDRCloud Backup & Recovery

I haven’t used BDR as much but its interface is pretty straightforward.

Errors are sometimes difficult to diagnose as their help is weak in that regard.

it does the job and allows multi backups and if it’s set up properly; it can be handy.

Managing licenses is non-existent (at least I couldn’t figure out how to best manage for ISO requirements.
