Why moving legacy email archive information to Office 365 can be so difficult and painful
Migration of legacy archives like Enterprise Vault are often left as the last part of the journey from on-premises servers to Office 365. A wide range of third-party migration tools are available, but many complex twists and turns await the unwary as they cope with journal reports, archive mailboxes, splitting and explosions, and the sheer amount of data to be migrated. It’s an interesting problem to solved. https://www.petri.com/moving-legacy-archives-office-365-painful
We had Enterprise Vault in our environment and we did purchase a 3rd party product. It did take weeks, and many phone calls with their tech support before we were finally able to get 99% of the e-mail out of Enterprise Vault and back into people's mailboxes.
It was not a fun process, but at the time it had to be done to get us migrated to Office365.
If I remember a RFP was put out to help select something that would work. I wasn't on the project during that phase so I don't know what factors led to the choice of the product we did end up with.
Welcome Tony... Nice to see a regional manager of Archive 360 recommend your product. After all, if you didn't recommend it, who would?
