We recommend using AWS Migration Evaluator
for all new and ongoing database migration assessment projects. If you have already downloaded Fleet Advisor's Data Collectors tool, you may continue to use them.

For existing Fleet Advisor users, we recommend completing any in-progress assessments with Fleet Advisor, then transitioning to Migration Evaluator to benefit from critical patches, security updates, performance improvements, and new features.
