Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several key areas. The replication appliance required for migration must be deployed on Windows Server (2012 R2 or 2016), with no mention of Linux support for this critical component. Windows-specific tools and ports (WinRM, WMI) are discussed before Linux equivalents, and screenshots and step-by-step instructions focus on Windows environments. While Linux migration steps are included, the central migration workflow is dependent on Windows infrastructure, creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Provide clear guidance or alternatives for deploying the replication appliance on Linux, or explicitly state Windows-only requirements earlier in the documentation.
- Offer Linux-first or parallel examples for all steps, including screenshots and command-line instructions.
- Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and provide Linux/macOS workarounds where possible.
- If Windows is a hard requirement for the replication appliance, suggest containerized or cloud-hosted options to reduce friction for Linux users.
- Add a summary table comparing Windows and Linux migration workflows, highlighting differences and required tools.
