What is CodeTwo Exchange Migration

CodeTwo Exchange Migration is a Windows-based migration tool for moving mailboxes and related data between Microsoft Exchange environments, including on-premises Exchange and Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online). It is typically used by IT administrators and service providers to plan, execute, and monitor email migrations with options for staged or cutover approaches. The product focuses on Exchange-specific objects and provides a local management console rather than a fully cloud-native migration service.

pros

Exchange-focused migration coverage

The product is purpose-built for Exchange migrations rather than general file or storage moves. It supports common Exchange migration scenarios such as on-premises to Microsoft 365 and tenant-to-tenant moves. This specialization can reduce configuration overhead compared with broader migration platforms when the scope is primarily email and Exchange-related data.

Admin controls and monitoring

It provides an administrative console to define migration jobs, map users, and track progress. Administrators can run migrations in stages and monitor status to manage cutover timing. This operational visibility is useful for coordinating end-user communications and troubleshooting during migration windows.

Runs in customer environment

The software runs from a Windows machine in the customer’s environment, which can align with organizations that prefer to keep migration execution under their own control. This model can fit environments with strict network routing, firewall rules, or change-control processes. It also allows administrators to manage performance by sizing the host and scheduling jobs.

cons

Not a general integration tool

Despite being used for data movement, it is not a broad data integration platform for ongoing synchronization across many SaaS applications. Its primary scope is Exchange migration rather than multi-system ETL or continuous integration pipelines. Organizations needing cross-application integration beyond messaging typically require additional tools.

Windows-hosted operational dependency

Because it runs as installed software, it requires a maintained Windows host (or server) with appropriate connectivity and permissions. This adds operational tasks such as patching, credential management, and capacity planning. Teams that prefer fully managed, cloud-native migration services may view this as additional overhead.

Microsoft-centric migration scope

The product is designed around Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365 mail workloads. It is less applicable for migrations centered on non-Microsoft email platforms or broader content repositories outside the Exchange ecosystem. If a project includes multiple workload types (e.g., files, collaboration sites, and email), organizations may need separate migration products.

Plan & Pricing

Pricing model: One‑off perpetual license per source mailbox (license consumed per migrated mailbox). Minimum order / constraint: Minimum number of mailboxes is 10 (site). How pricing is delivered on vendor site: Price is determined by an on‑site pricing calculator (select currency and number of mailboxes) on the official pricing page; the public pricing page does not show a static matrix or fixed per‑mailbox dollar amounts. Additional notes (from official site):

  • A single license allows migration of both primary and archive (In‑Place Archive) mailboxes of a user.
  • Migration of a Public Folders database consumes 100 licenses (fixed count).
  • Technical support is included in the license price and expires after one year; free updates and access to knowledge base are included.
  • Additional licenses are sold at the same price scale as new licenses; per‑mailbox cost may decrease when increasing total license count.
  • Payment methods: credit/debit card (via PayPal/Braintree), wire transfer, or purchase order.

Example costs: Not displayed on the public pricing page (requires using the pricing calculator/order form on the site). Free tier/trial: 30‑day free trial with support; no credit card required. Trial limits: up to 10 items per folder in trial. Discounts / volume pricing: Not published as a static table on the public site; ordering system may apply lower per‑mailbox pricing when ordering additional licenses (site explains example of lower per‑mailbox price when expanding an existing order).
