Extensive data can be easily migrated from on-prem to the cloud securely.

1. Can be only integrated with IBM products.
2. nothing negative apart from integration.

  ### 2. Excellent database migration tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel S. | Consultant e-learning content, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

**What do you like best about IBM Lift?**

The data is moving to the cloud at an incredible speed. I also enjoyed the quick recovery feature due to the problems you may encounter during migration. We don’t have to go back to migration from the beginning.

**What do you dislike about IBM Lift?**

The only downside with the cloud is that you can’t control updates. They are done automatically without our intervention, and sometimes we may have a nasty surprise.

**What problems is IBM Lift solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have moved to a 100% cloud database. It is less expensive (lower energy consumption). Data can also be accessed from any location with internet access.
