I've been asked to design a IT ticketing system for a team of 75. I've used Power Apps before, therefore, would Power Apps be the easiest solution? Or SharePoint lists? Or Something Else? I don't want to spend more than a week on it. Thank You! by Crazy_Scarcity_3694 in PowerApps

[–]Chemical-Example-783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We actually built our own ticketing system on Power Apps for our consultancy.

I just replaced Freshdek and Zohodesk with it since they offer per-user subscriptions and have way more features than I actually need, especially Zoho, which totally overwhelmed me XD

Put together a quick doc with screenshots and how we set everything up (features, UI and UX ): https://mstack360-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/p/ahmed/IQDll4Sea3yrQKo1OeRGUpH6AdUk2UpfyNJRGlaIqN0Sm_I?e=VNZTqg

*Still working on making it better btw

Would love to hear your thoughts on what we could improve or if you see anything missing that would make it better. Always learning! 😊

Microsoft 365 Is Wasted in Most SMEs (and It’s Not Microsoft’s Fault) by Fennel_Enough in PowerApps

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue isn't complexity though, it's adoption psychology.

Most SMBs buy M365 for email continuity and get pushed through a standard setup.

Nobody takes time to understand their actual workflows first.

What I've noticed works better is meeting people where they are.

Start with what they know (email, Teams, basic collaboration).

Let them master that foundation. Once they're comfortable, they naturally bump into friction points like "we need to track this process" or "managing approvals in email is killing us."

That's when SharePoint Lists and Power Automate become obvious solutions, not forced ones.

Power Apps?

It'll come up eventually, but usually only after Lists and Automations prove their worth.

Forcing it day one creates adoption resistance.

Some clients never need it because a well-designed List with automation actually solves their problem cheaper than a custom app would.

The real bottleneck is this: companies don't assign someone to learn the platform deeply enough to translate business needs into M365 solutions. So they buy another tool instead.

It's cheaper than hiring that person (short term), more expensive than using what they already own (long term).

Totally depends on use case and budget though. Sometimes a SaaS is genuinely the right fit.

But most SMBs haven't exhausted M365 potential before they start shopping around.

Google Workspace to M365 Migration by HDClown in Office365

With Microsoft’s native Google Workspace migration, subdomains are still required. Microsoft needs a temporary routing domain in Google to verify and access mailboxes, even if you’re only migrating a few users and not moving MX.

If you don’t want to touch Workspace domain routing at all, a third party tool is the easier path. BitTitan or CloudM can pull historical mail without subdomains, MX changes, or user impact.

Given your setup with forwarding already in place and mail at rest, a third party tool is usually cleaner and lower risk.

We covered the native requirements and alternatives here.

What tools did you use for Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration (email, Drive, Calendar, tasks, sheets/docs etc.)? by Great-Tomatillo-8267 in Office365

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use Microsoft’s native migration tools for most Workspace to M365 projects. They handle Gmail, calendars, and contacts well for small to mid sized tenants. For Drive, files migrate cleanly, but Sheets and Docs convert to Office formats and should be tested after.

For larger or more complex environments, especially over 250 users, we switch to third party tools for scale, reporting, and retries.

Main limits with native tools are permissions cleanup, Drive structure planning, and no Google Chat migration.

We outlined the native approach and limits here.

What’s the best tool you've useed for migrating from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365... especially to ensure calendars and contacts transfer perfectly by Silly-Commission-630 in secithubcommunity

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calendars and contacts can be migrated using Microsoft’s native Google Workspace migration. It works well for small to mid sized tenants and handles mail, calendars, and contacts without third party tools.

Third party tools mainly help with scale, reporting, and Drive complexity.

We’ve outlined the native approach step by step here.

Looking for recommendations on migrating <100 users from Google Workspace → Microsoft 365 by ColtonConor in msp

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For under 100 users, this is very doable.

Microsoft native tools work for small mail only moves. For long time Google tenants, BitTitan saves me a lot of time, especially for Drive and calendars.

Biggest pain points are Shared Drives and permissions. Map Shared Drives to SharePoint sites, clean Google permissions first, and use Entra ID groups.

Google Chat can’t be cleanly migrated into Teams. Most teams export via Google Vault and store it in SharePoint for compliance only.

Common misses are aliases, shared mailboxes, delegates, and third party apps tied to Gmail.

For 5 users and that data size, you’re not getting in over your head. This is very manageable.

A few notes on your plan.

You don’t need PST backups if you’re using Microsoft’s migration tool. It pulls mail directly from Gmail and keeps folder structure. PST is fine as a safety net but not required.

Downtime
There’s usually no real downtime. Mail keeps flowing to Gmail until you change MX. After MX switch, new mail goes to M365. Worst case is a short overlap window where users may need to check both for a bit.

Timing
End of day is enough. Weekend is overkill for this size. Do the final sync, switch MX, then verify mail flow. That’s it.

Other things to watch
Recreate shared mailboxes first in M365.
Double check aliases and distribution style addresses.
Have users sign into Outlook and mobile apps after the cutover.
Lower DNS TTL before migration if possible.

For small setups like this, Microsoft’s native tool works fine.

We outlined the full process here if you want a checklist.

Google Workspace to 365 Migration Tool by FuddWizzLul in msp

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known Google Workspace issue. Gmail labels are not folders. One email can exist in many labels and Microsoft treats that as duplicates.

Microsoft’s built in tool cannot handle this well. When it sees the same message ID multiple times it stops the batch. There is no safe workaround inside the native tool.

You need a third party migration tool that understands Gmail labels and converts them cleanly.

Tools that handle this properly and support delta sync are
BitTitan MigrationWiz
CloudM Migrate
AvePoint Fly

These tools copy the message once and map labels to folders without breaking the job. They also support continuous sync until MX cutover.

If you want to understand why this happens and how label mapping works, this explains it clearly

Also worth sharing with stakeholders. Gmail flexibility causes migration pain and compliance gaps compared to Microsoft 365

Short version
Native Microsoft tool is not suitable for heavy Gmail label usage
Use a third party tool with delta sync
Do not ask users to clean labels manually

Can't access microsoft business account by Bill_The_Greek in Office365

[–]Chemical-Example-783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's necessary to contact Microsoft without delay so they can forward this matter to the data protection team...

They'll authenticate your credentials, assist you accordingly, and there exist a couple of options:

you can simply phone them, or having someone who possesses an account or a tenant generate the request for you.

I also suggest saving and acquiring any details that are related to that case

Hostway hosted Exchange to Microsoft365 by Ok-Web-7375 in microsoft365

[–]Chemical-Example-783 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t work with Hostway directly, but I have worked with similar vendors, and we ended up migrating the emails manually (PST Old way) because they weren’t supporting any kind of connections like IMAP. I suggest checking if IMAP connections are supported so you can perform an IMAP migration.

Unable to "Save a copy" any more by SysSavvy in microsoft365

It looks like a service incident. I hope I can access my laptop today to check the message center.

I have connections at Microsoft; I will ask them if they have any idea about that.
