Hi,

 

I have used MigrationWiz before but found CodeTwo Office365 Migration to be 
excellent too, I could tune the migration to use as many threads that were 
reliable, could pause migration and resume when needed without having to resend 
everything that had already been moved.

 

Product was worth the money vs the amount of mucking around it takes via other 
means and has an excellent interface to show you exactly what’s happening an 
where you are up to. 

 

Kind Regards,

Jim.

I'll also praise MigrationWiz, it's a fantastic product with a lot more 
features than a few years ago (think profile migration client that you can 
deploy to endpoints). Exchange Online is very stable, not like the days of what 
felt like endless downtime.

 

Like everything, you learn the ins and outs through experience, and it really 
depends on your deployment model. Using ADSync? Hybrid? Windows Server 
Essentials deployment? Standalone? The compliance and security settings are 
very comprehensive, and management though Exchange Online Powershell is a must.

 

Just while rate-limiting is mentioned, users that access a number of other 
users mailboxes will have a poor experience when adding mailbox permissions 
through ECP (automapping) in cached mode. You will want to disable automapping 
by granting the permission through Exchange Online Powershell and disabling 
auto-mapping, and adding the account manually in the end-users mailbox. This 
does change the end user experience, but in practice getting the whole mailbox 
cached and not have Outlook freeze far outweighs the quirks it brings.

 

Regards,

 

Michael Keating

We used a product called MigrationWiz to migrate our 7000 users. 

 

The only issue with using a product like that is the rate limit into the 
tenant. However you can request MS turn it off for a period of time.

 

We’ve been running with Exchange Online since 2013. There have been occasional 
network issues, but they are usually short in duration and exacerbated by us 
being a global organisation with our tenant based in North Central US.

I'd be interested to hear general opinions and lessons learned from o365 
migrations. So far as I've seen, the architecture (network and services) is 
complex, and user experience can never equal local Exchange. 

 

So much so it leaves me wondering if the effort of migration can be justified? 
At the end of the day, you need a performant service, not finger pointing 
between networks and services, and blaming performance on insufficient 
network/proxy scale out.

 

Kind Regards
