We are creating a migration process for MicroStrategy environment and writing down pros and cons of using object manager or project merge. Have you had any undocumented issues with any of the tools (unexpected results or software bugs), any tool does the work quicker than the other or any preference depending of the number of objects to migrate?
 
We use Object Manager exclusively. We have tried project merge but couldn't quite get it to do what we wanted. It's probably because we didn't spend much time trying to figure out how it works. Object manager always more control in my opinion.
 
The one bug I know is 'Report Service' documents that have freeform sql grids on them. They will not work in Object Manager. You will have to delete the project in production and copy the entire project over. This was in 8.0.2 HF1 I think.

Otherwise I haven't found a reason to choose Object manager everytime!
