We are using both the Aelita ARM for AD and the migration products. There
have been a few minor unintuitive things with the migration software but
other then that it has reduced our workload and performed with very few
hiccups. On the whole we are pretty happy with the product. The ARM for
AD has been our single best AD tool purchase to date - just because we had
to use it once to recover an OU that contained all of the management people
in one of our offices (I am skeptical that this could have been done in the
time frame we had without alerting people that it had happened with any
other recovery method).
All in all I would say the products - especially ARM - have been worth it.
For the record I also am not an Aelita employee - just a customer.

I think most people know my position on Aelita/Quest (Man it is funny to
say
that in the same sentence).
We are currently using EMM and I believe it has done everything promised
without issue. I highly recommend getting On-site support if your
migration
is large.
Also ARM (ERD) for AD and Exchange are excellent products as well. If your
job is to restore mailboxes, then ARM for Exchange is a godsend. Also I
feel it is the only way to do mailbox restores in Exchange 200x.

My experience with Aelita is that they are an outstanding group of people
that will bend over backwards to fill your needs. We use EMM now to
migrate
servers into our Active Directory from many sources (NT Domains, other AD's
and Workgroups) and have hit a few snags here and there. Aelita folks
jumped through hoops to make things work right and keep us on schedule.
We are also using their ERDisk for AD product to back up and restore AD
objects. Works great.
And NO, I do NOT work for Aelita. I just use their products.
