CodeTwo Exchange Migration review
A Windows-based migration tool for staged, hybrid, and cross-environment Exchange moves.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CodeTwo Exchange Migration is a locally installed Windows application for moving mailbox and public-folder data to on-premises Exchange Server. It is intended for Exchange administrators managing migrations from Microsoft 365, on-premises or hosted Exchange, and IMAP-based systems such as Google Workspace. Supported mailbox data includes email, calendars, contacts, archives, and other Exchange content, with controls for scheduling, mailbox matching, filtering, and migration reports.
Its strongest fit is a staged migration program rather than a single, narrow mailbox transfer. The software supports staged, hybrid, and delta migrations, along with cross-forest and cross-domain moves. It also covers public folders and archive mailboxes, which can matter when an organization is moving more than primary mailbox content. The published plans show a paid New license with a one-off software license and technical support included for one year. A Free trial provides 30 days and allows a maximum of 10 items per folder.
Platform choice is central to the buying decision. CodeTwo Exchange Migration is Windows-based and self-hosted, so it suits teams that want a locally installed administration panel for migration planning and execution. It supports Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace as migration sources, but Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migrations are directed to CodeTwo’s separate Office 365 Migration product. Choose this product when the project involves on-premises Exchange targets, staged workflows, public folders, archives, or complex Exchange topology. Organizations seeking a cloud-only tool or a dedicated Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant workflow should consider an alternative.
