MigrationWiz supports a wide variety of workloads and covers the most common scenarios. The solution features a very simple licensing model, which greatly facilitates project budget planning. I appreciate its ease of use and the comprehensive online documentation that guides users through the deployment of migration projects.
Automation, Admin portals are good, DeploymentPro is awkward and sometimes reverts sending address. PowerShell tools are helpful.
I would say ease of use with the product portal. It is very easy to understand, and the layout is not confusing.
MigrationWiz can sometimes be slow to start a task. It can take more than 30 minutes for a task to be in the Submitted state before it reaches the Queued state. This slows down migrations, especially when you're in a hurry. Large volumes of data can remain stuck after migrating part of the data, without providing a clear view of the progress.
Support takes 12-24 hours to respond. System issues during a migration where you are changing MX records make that very difficult. DMA/DeploymentPro's scheduling portal has issues if installed via GPO if users are using a local account or UPN doesn't match their email address. Product had several issues that caused Verify Credentials to take 8 hours and support never addressed since it took them 16 hours to reply.
What I dislike the most about this product is the connectivity into Microsoft 365. I know this isn't MigrationWiz's fault since Microsoft decides on how external entities can tie into the tenant, this is still the challenging part. There are also multiple guides that you can get lost in for the same migrations since Microsoft is evolving their processes so fast. This can lead to misconfiguring the migration as it is an outdated source.
