Complete data transfer along with the continuous replication between source and target Databases. Relative speed obtained for the migration process.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The validation for large set of rows can be a bit tideous and the configuration changes when switched to the json editor.

Very useful and beneficial for cloud migration rather then approaching traditional logical backup method. Ease of migrating data between two different db engine's.
