Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

Datadobi DobiMigrate is enterprise software for moving file and object data between heterogeneous storage platforms, including on-premises and cloud environments. It is suited to organizations managing complex NAS, object-storage, and large-scale unstructured-data migrations where metadata, permissions, integrity, and cutover control matter. The product provides a graphical management interface for planning migrations, scheduling work, throttling network and server usage, and monitoring progress.

Its standout strength is the combination of iterative migration and audit-oriented controls. Automatic change tracking helps support staged migrations, while cutover planning and execution workflows organize the transition from source to target. Checksum validation, chain-of-custody validation, migration-result reporting, and rollback support provide a structured way to verify results and respond to migration issues. Metadata and permissions transfer also support migrations where access preservation matters, rather than treating the task as a simple file-copy operation.

DobiMigrate supports SMB/CIFS, NFSv3, S3, AWS, Dell EMC ECS, Dell EMC VNX, Dell EMC Isilon, NetApp StorageGRID, NetApp SnapLock, and Cloudian HyperStore. Its listed integrations also include S3-compatible object stores, and a REST API supports programmatic migration setup. Pricing uses a contact-sales model, with pricing based on terabytes migrated. Organizations that need auditable file or object cutovers, rollback, and reporting should consider DobiMigrate. Teams seeking open-source software, self-serve pricing, or block-storage migration should look elsewhere.
