"Awesome! Better than any other option for Google Share Drive. Reasonably Priced!"
5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

I was pretty overwhelmed by all the robust options; I'm not really a tech person and was pretty daunted by the API settings needed for my advanced transfer, but the customer service folks were top notch! Super accessible, clearly walked me through the setup, and instantly understood what I needed and was trying to accomplish. Now I run my transfers with just a few clicks and it works great! The customer service and responsiveness is really what made this powerful tool worth it for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

At first I was disappointed that it's so complex and robust in its options and features. It wasn't that intuitive for a non-tech person to get started. Fortunately that isn't a concern since there is really easy tech support to get me up and running and after I got walked through it, it's a breeze to run new batches now !

"This is how data should be moved (Full Stop). The team and the tool are equally impressive."
5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

When transferring data from one platform to another, a multitude of things go through your mind;

how will I cope with shared data?

how will I be able to consolidate personal folders and company drives without creating a mountain of admin work setting up the move?

how will I check for errors?

how will I know if the transfer speeds will not cause me issues with client scheduling?

The list goes on. Movebot made these questions disappear in a few clicks. My first projects were challenging moves, I had attempted the moves on other tools and quite honestly, they were a disaster, when I moved them into Movebot it was set up and ready to roll in 30-40 minutes.

The project itself took 5 hours to complete fully with 800GB+ moved from dropbox to google workspace and 0 (yes ZERO) errors. This, in comparison with the previous tool, took 16 DAYS to complete with over 8500+ errors.

I can't score this tool highly enough.

The tool is not the only part of the journey, the team at Movebot are and have been a pleasure to deal with from minute 1. They are fair, responsive, knowledgable and best of all, friendly and enthusiastic about their product and the space they operate in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Movebot for ShareFile to Egnyte"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

Colin at Movebot was extremely helpful in working with me to engage their business as our migration tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

Sharefile is a poor file share system and Movebot struggled to deal with certain character limitations during migrations. It also requires multiple accounts to avoid performance caps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Colin Hogg of Movebot

Hi Guys,

It was great to be able to help you out get multiple TB between ShareFie and Egnyte in a timley manner. Especially when your other tool failed and Movebot was able to pick up the pieces. It's always harder with non performant platforms like ShareFile - especially when changes are made to API's with no notification.

Thanks again for the review.

"Movebot streamlines cloud migrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

Movebot is easy to set up and generally works well. When there have been issues, the support team has been helpful and fast. The price structure is simple and based on total data migrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

The total data migrated determines the price. This is both a pro and a con. In more extensive migrations, there are times when the source data changes after a first pass, and we have needed to re-run passes to bring everything into the destination. This has not been a significant problem, but I could foresee an issue moving larger data sets a second time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

I've not run into anything negative just yet. Great work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent value, outstanding support, easy data migration. Highly recommend."
5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

We are a small non-profit with no IT department so ease of use and good support were crucial. We paid a VERY modest fee) for personalized support, and that along with a very easy-to-use product made the entire migration process smooth and easy on me (not a particularly technical person) and my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

There is NOTHING to complain about. Nothing was missing, the person who guided us through the process was very competent, responsive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Successful Google Drive Migration"
5/5
What do you like best about Movebot?

White glove service, fast communication, an excellent platform to use for migrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movebot?

This was not a problem, as the team I worked with at movebot was very accommodating, and having the timezone offset actually worked out in my favor for overnight syncs, but an observation to note is that there are no Americas time zone rep, but the company is growing so they may expand their resources.
