Agent Installation | Required on each source machine | No agent installation |
Replication Method | Block-level replication with detailed data transfer | Uses a connector to replicate data |
Best for | Physical servers, VM-based environments (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) | Large VMware environments or where agent installation is impractical |
Setup Complexity | More setup due to agent installation | Simpler setup (no agent installation) |
Control & Granularity | High control over replication, detailed logging | Less granular control but fast discovery and replication |
Supported Environments | Physical, VMware, Hyper-V, Cloud | Primarily VMware environments |
Use Case | Migrate diverse workloads including bare-metal servers | Migrate virtualized environments quickly with minimal configuration |
