I'm looking for advice from people who have actually migrated a large system from WebForms to MVC.
What are the things to watch out for? The literature says that both can co-exist for the same system but was it really that easy? Was managing authentication between the two seamless?
Was maintenance easier/tougher after that?
Thanks.

My advice is not to migrate at all. Keep your legacy WebForms stuff and see if you can get buy-in to do all new projects in MVC (that aren't already a part of the existing app, of course). If you only use one app and that is the WebForms one.. you might be out of luck. It's my experience that very few times can you redo the app even when it would save a lot of time and effort down the road, because it's very rare that management cares about longterm versus short-term.
