Thanks for the feedback. With the Spring '19 major release, you will have the ability to create up to three sandbox environments in a single AAD tenant. We will look at expanding this to additional sandboxes and production environments in future releases.

Thank you for this suggestion! We have added Application Insights telemetry signals related to Cloud Migration events, including when Data Replication, Data Upgrade, and Cloud Migration complete, to the set of signals that are emitted to the Application Insights resource connected to the environment.
