"Seamless way to migrate on-premises SQL, PostgreSQL, Mongo servers to Azure cloud"
4/5
What do you like best about Azure Database Migration Service?

The Mongo to Cosmos database migration is so efficient and made so simple via a GUI and minimum needed manual intervention like RU calculations etc. Also, incremental migration options are available for the migration of Postgres servers to Azure. The best thing is the GUI; I simply like it. Also, there are options to connect to on-premises servers or take a backup and store it in Azure Blob and work on migration. Very interesting one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Database Migration Service?

It will not show which features can get migrated or not from on-premises to Azure. For example, Mongo database has users and explicitly we can't create users in Cosmos PaaS, such exceptions the tool does not tell beforehand, after migration we get to know the missing objects.
