**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Quest Migration Manager?**

The batch abilities of the software and methods ot has to provide user migrations locally or remotely and script execution

**What do you dislike about Quest Migration Manager?**

The software is very rough around the edges and there is no clear implementation guide which covers all the bases; let alone more advanced scripting and automation facets 

Quest also is battling with Microsofts o365 activation issues where the computers you migrate will not let users sign in to office (outlook) without getting in a loop. There's no official support yet for this and trying to execute scripts on the boxes you migrate to mitiage this has been a challenge as well

We have about ten sites that need to he merged with anywhere from 5 computers to 50 plus, the automation features and ability to schedule tasks make it very handy to automate.

  ### 16. Great Utility for Domain Migrations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sky W. | Senior IT System Administrator, Higher Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Quest Migration Manager?**

This product was a lifesaver for our recent domain migrations. Between synchronizing users and attributes , managing workstation migrations, and the sync scheduling, it's a very comprehensive product. It can be a bit complicated, but that's to be expected given the number of features available. We also needed to reach out to their support team a few times, and the staff was very knowledgeable of the product.

**What do you dislike about Quest Migration Manager?**

After purchasing the product, there are a few days of required training involved. I would've preferred to have more written documentation made available initially to get prepared. Also, it can be a bit tricky at first to limit the scope of synchronization after the jobs and permissions are in place.

**Recommendations to others considering Quest Migration Manager:**

This is a great product to facilitate domain migrations without much manual intervention.

**What problems is Quest Migration Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This utility was used to synchronize/migrate a domain with two child domains. We did have some special scenarios to work around involving Exchange users and their related mail attributes. The benefits, as mentioned before, include both user and device migrations, scheduled synchronizations with incremental updates, and excellent support from the vendor.
