Mover was acquired by Microsoft towards the end of 2019, due to this there has been a gap in the market for an easy, accessible migration tool. Movebot is easy, simple and accessible, as well, it's the most cost-effective migration tool.

Movebot as a Mover alternative

So why should you choose Movebot as a Mover alternative? Movebot has affordable pricing, zero infrastructure, supports your cloud, and ensures your data is moved with scanning and reporting functionality.

Movebot's simple and affordable pricing means you won't break the bank with your migration. We use a simple pay-as-you go model where you only move for the amount of data you move, with no per-user pricing or other fees. Additionally, Movebot offers all service provider partners additional benefits at no extra cost like premium support with no commitment.

Zero infrastructure

Movebot is fully cloud hosted which means you don't need to install any software or manage infrastructure. 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 isn't here to muck around.

Supports your cloud

Movebot supports cloud-to-cloud, and on-premise file systems to the cloud. 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). No matter where your data is, Movebot can help get it where it needs to be.

Error handling and reporting

Movebot conducts 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.

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

“Simple to use – outstanding support.”

Movebot's support team was legendary in their quick responses and willingness to jump on a video conference to talk through how to resolve the problems. They have deep knowledge of their product and of the file storage platforms their solution is built for. We can approach future migrations with a lot less trepidation – given the accuracy and speed of Movebot, but especially because of their support team.

“Efficient, Reliable, and Exceptionally Supported”

Movebot has been an indispensable tool for our MSP looking for an efficient and reliable data migration solution. Our experience with it across various platforms, including SharePoint, Egnyte, on-prem file servers migrating to SharePoint, and O365 tenant to tenant migrations has been exceptionally positive. Their support team is responsive, offering assistance via and Discord, which was great in a pinch.

“Great team, great product!”

We needed a tool for moving large data sets with detailed enough logging to give us confidence in the successful move of millions of files and folders. Previous tools we used choked on large data sets (>1TB or > 1 Million files) or the logging was too simplistic for us know find errors or have confidence in deleting the source data set at the end of the migration. Movebot solved this for us.

“When you put dedication, attention to detail and quality support, you get this.”

I tried several competitors, and there was always something: lack of human contact, price, quality, speed, etc. I started looking around and ended up meeting with the VP of Sales for Movebot, he jumped on a call, and we went over the product, capability, and next steps and WOW. I have been using Movebot for a while now, and to be honest, there is no one out there doing the job the way they do.

“Amazing tool for migrations!”

Fantastic experience... We were able to do a file migration for a high-priority / high-touch client and move them to Azure AD from their on-prem environment in approximately 48 hours. The scanning and the data move itself really felt seamless. Thank you so much for the tool and to your incredible team!
