P2V migration, does it matter which tool?

I have been looking into migrating a physical device to become a VM in ESXi. I see there is a native tool if you will, vCenter Converter as well as Starwind P2V Migrator comes up a lot.

Does it matter which tool is used? Are they both the same or is one better than the other?

A sidenote question, are server licenses affected in doing a P2V migration? I have a Dell server running Windows Server OS.

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Both work :)
StarWind V2V converter just moves the data from the physical layer to the virtual. It does not alter anything.
