Unstructured Data Migration Tool Selection

Choosing the right tool for moving large amounts of unstructured data—like files, images, and videos—to Azure depends on your network, budget, and how quickly you need the data. You must compare four main options: Azure Data Box, Azure Data Box Gateway, AzCopy, and Azure Data Factory. The key factors to evaluate are their maximum speed, the file protocols they support, how they encrypt data, whether they can work offline, and their cost structure.
