What’s the right pre-migration tool for your project?

Summary

SMAT vs. PowerShell vs. Third-party tools - what’s the difference? 


A while back, Microsoft released the SharePoint Migration Assessment Tool (SMAT) to help organizations with their premigration analysis. Still, a lot of consultants write their own PowerShell to analyze farms and to get the insights needed to plan a migration project. On top of that there are a variety of third-party tools available that aim to assist organizations planning a migration.  

So, how do these pre-migration solutions compare – what are the Pros and Cons you need to consider picking the right solution? Join an expert in the field, Microsoft MVP Samuel Zürcher, and let him share his comparison of different migration assessment tools to make your decision a little easier. 

In this webinar you will learn: 

  • When it makes sense to use a tool for your migration planning 

  • The pros and cons of SMAT, PowerShell and third-party tools  

  • How you can decide which tool matches your migration project
