Pick the right migration tool, then prove it on paper

Twelve questions or fewer. Everything is optional except the source and target (or the scenario) - but the more you tell it, the sharper the shortlist. MTS ranks 96 migration tools from 64 OEMs and vendors against your constraints, tells you whether each one is free or paid and exactly how to license it, then generates the architecture, the phased plan, the prerequisites and the risk register - ready to export to Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

Pricing and licensing in this catalogue was last reviewed on 2026-09-18 and is indicative, for planning only. Confirm all commercial terms with the OEM or your reseller before committing to a licence position.

Constraints

How much downtime can the business take?

Asking for zero downtime narrows the shortlist to paid products very quickly.

Budget posture

Capabilities you actually need

Tick only what the programme genuinely depends on. Every tick is a filter, and over-specifying is the fastest way to end up with an expensive tool you did not need.

Migration behaviour

Changed-block tracking / incremental sync Live migration (no guest downtime) Non-disruptive test migration Rollback / failback after cutover Agentless operation Automatic driver / guest tools injection Network and IP mapping

Programme control

Wave / batch orchestration Discovery and assessment Application dependency mapping Programme reporting / audit trail API / CLI automation Encryption in flight

Identity & mail

What you already own

Tools you already have a licence and skills for get a meaningful boost - reusing them avoids a procurement cycle and a new operational burden.

This is a regulated environment and we need auditable evidence of the migration
