PCMover

Avantages

The best part of this program is the accessibility of the HUMAN support team. You can actually call a phone number and talk to a real human being. Almost unheard of these days.

Inconvénients

The one thing that would've helped me in using PCmover would have been if they had made it more apparent that you could ONLY transfer the programs and data, but NOT Windows itself. Windows needed to be installed on the new machine, before doing the transfer. Had I been aware of that at the beginning, I would've save a LOT of time and aggravation.

Also, it took a very long time to transfer the data (29 hours 46 minutes)! But, it was a LOT of data (650gb).

Avantages

It does not require any technical knowledge. It's simple to transfer all files, settings, and applications to your new computer. It transfers browser settings including toolbar, customizations, template and preferences. It's also saves time, the software saves time and effort by automatically transferring everything for you. The software also preserves your settings, such as desktop background, fonts, and many more.

Inconvénients

It's expensive especially for home users who may only need to transfer files and settings once.
The transfer process takes too long if you have large amount of data to transfer. For businesses purposes you are required to purchase multiple licenses for pc mover, of which is expensive. PC Mover's customer support are limited which makes it difficult to resolve issues.
There's is a potential for errors during the transfer process, which result in lost or corrupted files.

Avantages

It was easy to install, there is nothing else good about PCMover.

Inconvénients

It failed to actually do the task it was supposed to do, which was to copy applications, settings and files from one windows 10 computer to a new windows 10 computer.

Avantages

Easy to use. Transferred almost everything (including some older applications) from my Windows 7 laptop to my new Windows 11 laptop.

Inconvénients

Took about a day and a half to complete the move but that may have been due to the amount of clutter and reduced RAM & processing speed on my Windows 7.

Avantages

It will move accross your most popular programs from Microsoft or Adobe and copy the registry's settings

Inconvénients

Will not move some bespoke software struggles on the less popular programs and even though some programs and apps are copied they don't work - and it's a bit slow

Avantages

At POWER we love the safety that comes with the use of PCmover. We've eliminated the need to store our customers data when transferring (e.g. via harddrive), which was one of our main concerns.
We're now also able to easily transfer programs, profiles and settings, which we had to manually setup before.

Inconvénients

A few of our employees, who are not great with English, had some issues using the software. It was slightly difficult for them to understand how to start the software correctly.
We also had a few employees report, that they found it difficult to know if the software had transferred everything or not. In most such cases, all data was transferred, but was on a new (transferred) user.

Avantages

Ease of use, Customer Support and Overall implementation.

Inconvénients

Nothing, it is extremely good software that does exactly what I need it to do.

Avantages

The most important part of this product for us is the security of a customers data when transferring. With the GDPR legislation, gone are the days of using an external hard drive or USB thumb drive to transfer a customers data - and we are all the merrier since we have such a great tool now to transfer a customers data with peace of mind.

Inconvénients

The software can be a bit diffilcr to understand if you are not that comfortable with english and maybe not as easy to use as we have seen with some of our employees.

Avantages

Invaluable program for transferring programs, settings, including registry settings from drives with blown, unrecoverable boot sectors, from migrating from machines, and when upgrading to newer versions of Windows.

Inconvénients

Depending on what is on the source drive, the program can be painfully slow and could take over 24 hours to complete migrations.

Avantages

Made easy for everyone, just click what you want to migrate (more advanced features also for migrating specific files / programs) and wait. Really easy to use and a valuable tool in my "toolbox" to get the daily work done with customers. Time saving in a nutshell.

Inconvénients

The only thing missing is the migration of printer drivers that I haven't got to work yet so that when the customer goes home with the new product, the old printer is plug and play.

Avantages

The simplicity and user functionality. Fast transfer and four options for transferring.

Inconvénients

I'm missing the function that it could be used on macbooks. Printers dont come along from old computer to new.

Avantages

Easy to use, and very easy to clone PC to PC

Inconvénients

Not possible to migragte betwee Mac and PC
