**What do you like best about Google Migrate for Compute Engine?**

I worked on migrate for compute engine version 4 & 5. Compared to M4CE version 4 (very tough to setup), V5 is much simpler to setup. It took around 30 mins to setup the tool & migrated my first VM from VMware to Google Cloud within an hour. Very simpler tool given by Google for the migration from on-prem or any other cloud platform. Anyone with basic cloud knowledge can deploy M4CE with ease. Best part is LINUX VM WITH CentOS 6 OS, I migrated to Google Cloud, even though it is EOL.

**What do you dislike about Google Migrate for Compute Engine?**

Oh, the most painful part is setting up M4CE version 4 setup. Too difficult to deploy. I took around 5 days to setup but failed to setup properly. The only option for Linux version 6 VM's migration is with M4CE version 5 tool only, M4CE Version 4 & OVF deploy method didn't allow for Linux 6 VM migration. It's too complicated to setup.

**What problems is Google Migrate for Compute Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The major problem in our daily hunt we solved is one of our DNS servers is CentOS 6, even though it is EOL, we migrated it using migrate for compute engine version 5.
