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’s pricing starts at 0.39 cents per GB and goes down based on your data volume. Additionally, Movebot offers all service provider partners 20–40% discount on all migrations. Movebot is fully cloud hosted which means you don’t need to install any software or manage infrastructure, finally it 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).

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.

As Movebot is fully cloud hosted, it means that you don’t need to manage the infrastructure or install any software. 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.

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.
