# What cloud migration assessment solutions generate clear 7R prioritization and migration roadmaps without requiring extensive technical documentation?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/cloud-migration-assessment-tools">cloud migration assessment</a> solutions generate clear 7R prioritization and migration roadmaps without requiring extensive technical documentation? I'll be upfront that none of the reviews I found actually use the term 7R by name, so what follows is the closest real equivalent I could find, tools that generate a prioritized roadmap without needing a mountain of documentation to get there.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cast-highlight/reviews"><strong>CAST Highlight</strong></a> reviewers describe getting cross-application comparisons and prioritization scoring from a lightweight local code scan, with one reviewer specifically noting the dashboards are understandable even for non-technical stakeholders, which is close to the spirit of this question even without the 7R label attached.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/aws-cloud-adoption-readiness-tool-cart/reviews"><strong>AWS Cloud Adoption Readiness Tool (CART)</strong></a> reviewers describe a radar chart and heatmap output that's explainable enough to hand to people outside the assessment team directly.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/azure-migrate/reviews"><strong>Azure Migrate</strong></a> reviewers describe dashboards with compatibility and sizing recommendations, plus the ability to export to Excel for further rework, though that export step suggests the roadmap still needs some manual shaping afterward.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone who's actually generated a migration roadmap from one of these without a big documentation effort behind it: did the automated prioritization match what a manual 7R exercise would have produced, or did you still need to sanity check it app by app?</p>

A prioritization score and a real 7R disposition get treated as the same output, and they aren&#39;t. A score tells you how hard an application is to move. A 7R call also carries business intent, whether something should be retired, retained, or repurchased no matter how technically ready it is, and that intent isn&#39;t in the code for a tool to read. So the automated pass handles the technical sorting well, but retire and retain in particular still come down to a human who knows why an application exists, which is the part of the roadmap the tool can&#39;t shortcut for you.
