Special Note on Office 365 to Office 365 Migration Tool

Migration of entire tenants are complex and necessit to migrate a lot of different type of data.

If you have to build your solution by selecting different vendors, this adds complexity to your project as you need to get skilled on the different products and in case of troubles, you will have to deal with different support teams. For this reason,you should select as few products as you can. This will help you reduce the complexity of your project.

What are the weaknesses of Cloudiway competitors (other solutions)?

BitTitan has done a good job at migrating exchange and Office 365 mailboxes. But they don’t own a robust technology for migrating SharePoint. All they do is migrating document libraries. On the other side, ShareGate is well know for its capacity of migrating SharePoint Sites. If you select BitTitan + ShareGate as solution provider, it is becoming an expensive solution. Furthermore, this leaves unmigrated data. None of these solutions can migrate your laptops and devices between tenants. None of these 2 solutions are able to inject private chats into the Target Microsoft Teams infrastructure.

Cloudiway does, for a cheapest price and with lots of proven track records (checkout our case study section)

What about Microsoft Solution?
