Are they the same company or distinct ones? Many organizations use their own migration tools that function well; with large amounts of data, a fresh installation might be preferable. Generally, starting over is advised for optimal results.

I frequently rely on Acronis for cloning drives. The interface is user-friendly and it consistently performs well. I've probably used it more than fifty times. It's straightforward. However, if you're looking to avoid costs, there are free options like Clonezilla and similar tools. Since I haven't tried them before, I can't really say whether they're effective.
