I have listed few of the leading tools available for a Cross tenant migration. However, each tool needs to be evaluated specifically with the requirement. The capability of each tool vary and sometimes needs proper evaluation to confirm which one suits your requirement.
Free Tools
Not every organization can afford the third party tools, especially smaller companies. Few of the third party tools needs a minimum user count for them to consider. Lets look at the different options available within Microsoft which are offered without any additional cost.
Mover.io – Acquired by Microsoft in 2019 and now one of the key tool to help with SharePoint migration
Cross Tenant Mailbox Migration – Capable of migrating mailboxes from one tenant to another
Backups and Restore – Manually or using scripts/native tools
If the migration needs to be done using Free Tools, Its also important to have
- Experts on Mover and Cross Tenant Migrator
- Experts on PowerShell as half of the activities needs to be scripted
- Good planning on sequencing multiple activities which needs to be moving in parallel
Third Party tools can provide a single console for all different migration activates happening in parallel and help to properly sequence the activities.
