Help Desk Migration vs. VirtaMove

Thanks to the quick response from the support team, I was able to maintain an ongoing dialogue and get questions answered promptly throughout the project. Their responsiveness made it easy to request and implement specific changes, such as disabling comments on all migrated articles, without delaying our migration timeline.

Best suited for applications where installing from scratch is not an option or a very difficult one. Migrating applications that you are familiar with, you have support for or have done in the past, via AppZero, in my experience, may become more time/resource consuming. In my environment it makes little sense for example to migrate an Office Suite via AppZero. Good at collapsing tiers (e.g. old application whose demand has waned and it no longer needs to serve large number of users). The score is awarded is a bit misleading, AppZero is invaluable when you have no other choice but for mainstream applications its value drops.

Incentivized

• Very responsive support team.
• Great step by step instructions.
• Ability to rerun the migration.

• When documentation regarding the implementation of an application is missing (e.g. old versions and support is prohibitive to obtain, or in case of homegrown applications) it becomes the tool available to perform the migration.
• There is always a back-out option, and different approaches/attempts can be made.
• Will provide you insight on what otherwise would be a "blackbox" application.
• Allows you to consolidated multi-tiered applications into fewer/single tiers.

Incentivized

• There is little room for improvement in the GUI

• I'd like to see a more streamlined migration of applications relying on SQL.
• I'd like to see better documentation, or perhaps labs/examples available.

Incentivized

It was very simple to use.

I have not use any other application for this purpose. I've selected AppZero based on peer recommendation and found it to fulfill the functionality I was looking for.

Incentivized

• Tool consolidation
• Cost reduction
• Ease of maintenance

• It has certainly proved to be a worthwhile investment. There were cases where to migrate an application several versions behind with lapsed support would've been a many zeroes expense. Done via AppZero, it was a LOT cheaper.
