Change sets or Ant migration tool?

Hello everyone,

I am having some difficult deciding which tool should I use.

I read some user saying Ant migration tool is safer and easier to use. Could someone help to evaluate them?

Thanks!

Regards,

Pedro Motta

Hi Pedro,

Please check once below info : 

Change Set Considerations
You can move metadata only between the production org and its sandboxes. You can’t move changes between two production orgs or Developer Editions.
You can add components with a change set, but you can’t delete them. You must use another method to delete components, typically manually.
Because change sets are cloud-based, they’re not ideal when used with a source control system.

Ant Migration Tool Considerations
Requires a more developer-oriented skill set, with experience of Ant and scripting tools
Requires storing the username and password on disk, which some security policies don’t permit:
