Mover Alternative | Movebot - Data Agility and Actionable Insights

Written by Jayden @ Movebot | Jan 16, 2021 11:00:00 AM

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. 

Keeping data migrations simple

Movebot keeps migrations simple, whether it is, hundreds of users or thousands of users, on-premise to the cloud, or cloud to cloud. It's always simple, fast and cost-effective. Ready to get started?
