Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before migrating from Google GWMMO
Why do IT administrators seek an alternative to Google GWMMO?
While GWMMO is a free utility from Google, it introduces two massive operational roadblocks: it strictly demands an active Microsoft Outlook desktop installation on Windows to load legacy MAPI drivers, and it routinely freezes with error 0x8004010f on PST files exceeding 20GB. Prism Migration operates 100% standalone, runs natively on macOS and Windows, and converts archives up to 100GB+ using memory-safe stream iterators.
Can I use Prism Migration to migrate PST files to Google Workspace without Outlook?
Yes. Prism Migration contains a built-in 64-bit B-tree parser that extracts messages directly from PST files and streams them into Google Workspace via Modern OAuth 2.0 PKCE, requiring zero Outlook installation.
Does GWMMO work on Apple Mac computers?
No. Google GWMMO is an x86 Windows-only executable that relies on Windows MAPI architecture. Prism Migration is compiled natively for macOS (Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, M4 and Intel) as well as 64-bit Windows.
How does Prism handle Google API upload rate limits?
Prism implements an adaptive backoff queue conforming to Google Cloud API quota limits, eliminating the HTTP 429 throttling and dropped messages common during batch migrations with GWMMO.
