    Hello @Anshal Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help!

    From the title of the thread, I see that you want to know the limitations/disadvantages and what considerations should be taken when Azure Migrate tool.

    While Azure Migrate is a powerful tool for assessing and migrating workloads to Azure, there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind:

    Compatibility: Azure Migrate supports assessment and migration of a wide range of workloads, but not all workloads are compatible. Before using Azure Migrate, it's important to ensure that your workloads are compatible with the tool.

    Assessment accuracy: While Azure Migrate provides accurate assessments of your on-premises workloads, the accuracy of the assessment depends on the quality of the data collected during the discovery process. It's important to ensure that the discovery process is thorough and accurate to ensure that the assessment is accurate.

    Migration complexity: Migrating workloads to Azure can be complex, especially if you have complex dependencies between applications and workloads. It's important to carefully plan your migration and ensure that you have the necessary resources and expertise to complete the migration successfully.

    Cost: Migrating workloads to Azure can be expensive, especially if you have a large number of workloads to migrate. It's important to carefully consider the cost of migration and ensure that you have the necessary budget to complete the migration successfully.

    Downtime: Migrating workloads to Azure can result in downtime, which can impact your business operations. It's important to carefully plan your migration and ensure that you have a plan in place to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.

    When using Azure Migrate, it's important to carefully consider these limitations and considerations and ensure that you have the necessary resources and expertise to complete the migration successfully. It's also important to carefully plan your migration and ensure that you have a plan in place to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.
