Considering cloud storage is becoming the latest utility and data becoming the new oil, the playing field is highly competitive when it comes to storing data. You can store 1TB through Wasabi for $5.99 per month with no fees for egress or API requests. However, the downside is when the time comes to move data to the cloud or between cloud storage at an affordable rate.
Migration companies such as Cloudm charge $6000 to move 8TB from on-premise storage to Google Drive, others charge up to $1000 per TB to move your data into Dropbox. These prices are often well over the yearly cost of your cloud storage plan, and often remove any savings when moving to the new provider.
Most of these migration companies also often require you to contact a sales representative and go through their workflow which can add to the barriers and cause frustration when you just want to move your data. All these costs can be significant obstacles to changing clouds, even if a different cloud data storage provider would suit the organization better.
Need an affordable alternative? Try Movebot. Movebot is up to 1/10th of the price compared to others in the market.
At Movebot, our data moving rates are simple and straightforward. The base rate is significantly lower than other file moving companies and we have a simple pay-as-you-go plan. This is great for users with a small amount of data to move or who have a one-and-done data migration.
Connecting your storage without running a scan is a recipe for a disaster, and some companies charge for functionality like this. Not Movebot. The discovery scan is completely free to run, and can even be done as part of a free trial. The scan gives you helpful data insights like how much data you have and potential issues you may run into.
Some of these issues may be outside of Movebot's control to fix since it never stores or has access to change your data. These issues will be identified in the scan so you can decide the best way to action them further.
Movebot is also completely self-service. The team is available to chat, support you, or offer a quote if you're after something like an Enterprise plan. However, the product is user-friendly and you can literally sign up and start your cloud migration without talking to anyone. You don't even have to enter your credit card details.
Movebot can help you move individuals, teams, and organizations between cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, Wasabi, etc.) or from on-premise to cloud storage using its user-friendly and simple web interface. There are over 30 storage connections, as well as the Movebot agent that connect to file servers and NAS devices and help you move them to the cloud.
Movebot aims to keep things simple, from pricing to moving data. There's no infrastructure to manage. You don't have to download agents, put them on multiple virtual machines, and manage your migration hands-on. Movebot does everything for you. Simply connect your storage platforms, authorize the connection, and start moving files. Try Movebot today for 14 days by registering for a free trial.
