Cloud migration tools address work involved in assessing environments and moving workloads or databases. Compared on continuous replication and database migration, these entries also differ in dependency mapping, discovery and assessment, and deployment model. Included workload limits, free-plan availability, and paid-from pricing can help you weigh access and cost. Striim, CAST Highlight, and Google Cloud Migration Center are among the tools to consider, with AWS Transform MGN (formerly AWS Application Migration Service) also represented. Identify whether your work centers on understanding an existing environment, converting databases, or keeping data replicated during a move, then compare the listed capabilities against that scope.
