Movebot as a CloudM Alternative Movebot - Data Agility and Insights

Written by Jayden @ Movebot | Jan 23, 2021 9:45:00 PM

A simple and cost-effective CloudM alternative is Movebot. Movebot is completely cloud-hosted and managed for you so there is no need to run your own infrastructure or spin up your own servers.  Additionally, Movebot supports you with your migrations and offers real engineers for support and is a widely used data migration tool by service providers globally.

Affordable CloudM Alternative

Movebot is 70% more cost-effective than CloudM as you only pay for the data you move and not per user/seat, with options for both pay-as-you-go as well as an MSP Partner program designed for MSPs. Pricing starts at $390/TB, which works out to be 39 cents per GB. Find out more on our pricing page

Supports your cloud

As Movebot is fully cloud hosted, it means that you don't need to manage the infrastructure or install any software. Additionally, due to this Movebot can scale to meet your demand. Each transfer (user, drive, site, etc.) is run on its own dedicated compute node (worker) ensuring that not only are migrations secure, but also performant. With this you can add more compute to your larger transfers to increase the performance and throughput. Due to this it doesn't matter if you have 100 users or 120,000, Movebot's infrastructure is scalable and is used by service providers across the globe to migrate large amounts of data.

 

Movebot supports all storage platforms whether they are cloud (Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, Egnyte, Amazon S3, etc.) or an on-premise file system (NAS, file share or file server).

A CloudM alternative that sets you up for success

With Movebot, you're set up for success from the very begging. Movebot performs error handling to streamline your migrations and ensure you don't leave anything behind. Movebot will automatically correct character or file type issues that may crop up during the migration and convert Google Docs into Microsoft Format on the fly.

Additionally, you can get a full report on your data, or see the flagged issues before you even move a file. Movebot also supports all your desired enterprise features from migrating file versions, permission, metadata, and being able to run delta migrations, which sync changes made to your storage that happened during or after the primary migration.  

Another option that you have is the ability to run a preflight discovery scan across your source platform which performs a discovery scan of your source data platform and will show you any errors that may be encountered, a breakdown of the data structure, and information on the content.

Movebot is a CloudM alternative that keeps migrations simple, whether you have hundreds of users or thousands of users, on-premise to the cloud, or cloud to cloud. It's always simple, fast, and cost-effective.
