But the truth is, when something\u2019s free, it usually comes at a price.<br><br>Free software is a good example of this. Usually it\u2019s just a \u201ctaster\u201d, something to whet your appetite or grab your attention, and further down the line you end up paying for a more robust version.<br><br>Free migration software is like this; a good foundation to start, but if you want all the bells and whistles to do it properly, then it\u2019s worth paying a little extra.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">Free Migration Tools<\/h3>\n<p>Migrations are incredibly complex, and the results can make or break a business. It\u2019s not the kind of thing you want to put into the hands of the cheapest option available.<br><br>There are basically three serious options when it comes to free migration tools; Microsoft FastTrack, Google Workspace Migrate and third-party open-source software<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">Open-source software<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of free open-source software migration tools out there, and most of them are fit for purpose if you\u2019re only moving small amounts of data that have no real importance. But when it comes to a large-scale data migration that\u2019s part of the growth and development of your business, you will want to set your sights a little higher.<br><br>As you might expect, open-sourced migration software has limitations. The software takes longer to set up, will usually only migrate certain things (like files and folders, but not emails), and, most importantly, has a higher fail rate, meaning there\u2019s more chance of your migration turning into a catastrophe.<br><br>As the software is open-sourced, there will be no guarantee of security because it will come without accreditation. For something as important as your company\u2019s data, you should only ever use software that meets international standards of security, like CloudM.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">Microsoft<\/h3>\n<p>FastTrack is a migration service provided by Microsoft and it\u2019s available to all Microsoft 365 subscribers for free.<br><br>While FastTrack is suitable for simple file migrations, but it was not designed for anything more complicated.<br><br>When you are handling a big migration project, you want to be kept abreast of its progress.There is no update on the project until it\u2019s complete, so there is no way of telling how long is left, how much data has been moved, and which files are still pending.<br><br>If you have additional requirements, special instances that need specific attention, or simply want someone to help fix unforeseen issues, then unfortunately there\u2019s not much help available.<br><br>If any issues come up, there is no telephone or video support, only an email address to use, so a response is usually slow, by which time the issue might have done serious damage.<br><br>FastTrack is only available for customer tenants with 150 or more licenses and is also limited to a certain number of users, so for larger projects, you need more than one migration to move your data.<br><br>So to sum up Microsoft\u2019s free migration tool, it might be worth it if you\u2019re a small business with basic data to transfer. Anything larger or complicated should be left to bespoke migration software.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">Google<\/h3>\n<p>For full migrations, Google will only transfer from one Google domain to another. That means if you\u2019re on Microsoft or some other platform, you can\u2019t use their tool.<br><br>Google does have GWMMO (Google Workspace Migration for Microsoft Outlook), but some categories of Email, Calendar, and Contacts are not supported to import in Gmail, while Journal entries, Outlook Notes, tasks, and RSS feeds aren\u2019t imported at all through this method.<br><br>Google Migration is not always the speediest: you are allocated one server for your project and you\u2019re migrated on that one server.<br><br>In fact, for more complicated migrations, Google often turns to third-party software themselves &#8211; like CloudM. So if your migration project needs to happen quickly, securely and effectively, you can cut out the middleman and come to us directly.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">What can go wrong?<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, a lot could go wrong during a data migration, which is why you should never go for the cheapest option. As we mentioned, migrations are complex, and the bigger the job, the more issues can potentially arise.<br><br>Losing data, leaving user information behind and data corruption are just a few of the common problems seen during a large migration.<br><br>These issues can have serious, real-world consequences. From reputation damage to hefty fines for data protection breaches, a problematic migration can be a nightmare for a company.<br><br>Any kind of problem is going to mean more work for your IT team &#8211; because here\u2019s the thing with free migration software &#8211; if things do go wrong, who do you talk to about it? Who is accountable for lost or corrupted data? What number do you call to speak to someone? Who do you email about the issue?<br><br>Invariably, the answer is no one. And that&#8217;s where the true cost of free migration tools appears.<\/p>\n\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.cloudm.io\/production\/2021\/UI-Mocks-With-Graphics\/_articleSingleImage\/migratereporting.png\" alt=\"Migrate Reporting Status UI Graphics\" class=\"block\"><\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"color:#ee7308;\">Why you should use us<\/h3>\n<p>CloudM has a 99.8% success rate when it comes to data migrations, with over 68 million users migrated in 107 countries.<br><br>We offer a host of advantages over a free migration service, including speed, security, accountability, and perhaps most important of all, peace of mind.<br><br>Migrations can be stressful, and if you choose free software, you\u2019ll increase that stress exponentially. You\u2019ll have no regular updates, no sign of how successful your migration has been so far, and no idea of how long is left.<br><br>With us, you\u2019ll have a personalized account manager, someone to oversee your project and keep you up to date with developments. You\u2019ll be in full control of your data, you\u2019ll know exactly what has been transferred and when, how far the project has come, and any issues that have arisen. Plus, with 24\/7 product support available you know an expert is never far away.<br><br>We also provide Delta Migrations, allowing your business to carry on as normal during the project, so you have zero downtime. A Delta Migration works by migrating all your historical data &#8211; say everything up until the past three months &#8211; and then once that\u2019s done, we do the last three months over a weekend when no one is working.<br><br>Working with us rather than a restrictive service or open-source software with no experts on hand gives you more options and greater agility in your migration. We can course correct if something comes up, and of course, handle everything for you instead of making you do all the work as free software would.<br><br>If done incorrectly, problems during a migration can lead to downtime, data loss and, in worse-case scenarios, legal troubles.<br><br>It simply isn\u2019t worth the risk to use free, open-source software for something as important as your data. Let the professionals handle it.<br><br>You\u2019re not just paying for the software, you\u2019re paying for peace of mind. You\u2019re paying for data security and accountability if anything goes wrong. You\u2019re paying for a successful migration, and at the end of the day, that\u2019s all that matters.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8085a61 post-content elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"8085a61\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"page\" data-elementor-id=\"18103\" class=\"elementor elementor-18103\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-748947f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"748947f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;c4f773e&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7995c19\" data-id=\"7995c19\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a437045 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"a437045\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\">About Version 2 Digital<\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Version 2 Digital is one of the most dynamic IT companies in Asia.
