ShareGate Reviews & Product Details

ShareGate gives us the ability to manage and move data from SharePoint sites and OneDrive accounts. This helped a lot during the OneDrive cleanup that was needed due to changes made by Microsoft this year. Permissions reports on SharePoint sites helps keep management informed.

Secure and simple to integrate with our tenant. Updates to the server-based tool are regular and do not disrupt use of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Teams management tools that we used to rely on were removed several months ago and have not (yet?) been replaced Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find ShareGate's overall UI very intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes my tasks straightforward. I particularly appreciate the reporting on data migration success; it's clear and concise, so I don't have to search around in the UI to find the specific task I'm trying to accomplish. ShareGate also provides a description error and links to ways to resolve issues when certain items don't migrate successfully. The installation instructions are clear, and the upgrade process has been seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the ability to create SharePoint list migrations without list data (i.e. schema only) without having to select deselect the list data option in the current defaults. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShareGate allows us to perform cross-tenant migrations with little effort. Whether the content is in another M365 tenant, a local file share, google drive or an on-premise farm, ShareGate will be able to migrate it and not only migrate it, but do so efficiently without a steep learning curve. For scripted migrations, we have full access to the API via PowerShell. The growing suite of analysis tools give ShareGate a constant bump in value. The Permissions Matrix report in particular is a must-have to understand and plan for the migration of permissions and it can run this on huge sites in a matter of seconds. There is also the option to run a test migration or "what if" which allows us to figure out what may go wrong before we perform the actual migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are a highly specialized consultant and you bump into a problem with ShareGate, the support line is there and they will help for sure. However, I personally feel that most of the time spent in support is to explain a problem to an entry-level support agent before it gets escalated to the technical team. This often makes it so that I have to repeat everything and demo the problem again to multiple people. This is an area that ShareGate could definitely improve. There are also a couple of feature requests that the community has asked for again and again, such as the ability to Move (not copy) content, that have yet to be made available (fingers crossed).

Using ShareGate to migrate our legacy file shares into Microsoft 365 has been an outstanding experience from start to finish. The tool delivers exactly what IT teams need during a complex data migration: simplicity, reliability, and full transparency throughout the process.

ShareGate’s interface is exceptionally intuitive, making it easy to assess source environments, map permissions, and configure migration jobs without the usual headaches often associated with large-scale data moves. Even with nested folder structures and inconsistent legacy permissions, ShareGate handled everything smoothly, preserving metadata and ensuring a clean transition into SharePoint Online and OneDrive.

Performance was consistently strong—migration speeds were impressive, and the built‑in reporting provided clear insights into progress, issues, and post‑migration validation. When unexpected file conflicts or policy issues arose, ShareGate presented actionable recommendations that saved hours of troubleshooting.

Beyond the technical capabilities, the time savings and reduced risk were the biggest wins. What could have been a complicated, multi‑week project became a structured, stress‑free process thanks to ShareGate’s automation options and smart checks.

If you're looking to modernize file storage and move confidently into Microsoft 365, ShareGate is an invaluable tool. It’s reliable, efficient, and built with real‑world migration challenges in mind. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Im yet to find a downside of this tool, might be good to see further pre-writen report to help better manage 365 sites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use ShareGate for SharePoint migrations. It makes it easy to copy content from on-prem to cloud, whether the content is in a SharePoint instance, file shares, or other location. It is particularly great for mapping permissions and metadata. The reposts are useful to identify errors or content that needs additional remediation after copy. Delta copy is super helpful when migrating active sites.

Installing the software is easy, and you can manage your subscription and authorized users through the web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having to sign in every time you connect to a cloud location via browser authentication. Not sure that this is actually a ShareGate issue, though. It would also be helpful if you didn't need a server extension installed to maintain item IDs during the copy process.

Another pain point is that it's not straightforward to roll back from an update when there are issues. I would like a revert option for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShareGate makes managing SharePoint much easier. Its intuitive interface means that very little training is needed to get started. In our organization, we rely on it for tenant audits, reviewing permissions, and migrating content. What used to take us hours can now be completed in just minutes. The reporting tools also provide clear insights into our environment, eliminating the need for PowerShell scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing model can become expensive if you require several administrators. Additionally, certain features we assumed would be included in the base product are only available in the premium tier. From time to time, updates alter the interface layout, leading to a short period of adjustment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use ShareGate for our cloud transformation for our on-prem file server and personal folder and it's a big help as I don't need to create PowerShell script or do a manual upload of the data. The migration steps are easy although I haven't tried mapping user for example in the meta data. I have also used the application in analyzing data on-prem in preparation to the migration. As this can detect if a folder will exceed the 5000-threshold limit or if the file name is too long.

It's also easy to contact the support since you have launched your AI support as well. It gives the exact information I need.

I am also using the application, to check permission of a SharePoint site and to check if there are legacy security group that was used to grant access to sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is sometimes, even though the migration is completed, I can still see that the job is running, and the completion time/date is not yet finalized. I am not sure if the problem is within Sharegate or Microsoft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciated ShareGate for its permission matrix report, which provided a good overview of permissions on SharePoint sites. I liked being able to archive sites to reduce SharePoint cost and the periodic review feature, which reminded site owners to categorize or archive their sites. Previously, I found features like site templates, site categorization, access reviews, and sharing reviews to be useful in making our SharePoint more manageable.

Their archive functionality is useless. It only retains files, not data in lists so we lost a lot of data. Restoring data from their Archive feature is also completely broken, you have to restore folder by folder. you cannot restore all files from a site. Also, restores to OneDrive fails on large files. And their support staff is not helpful in recovering data although data is a critical asset in any company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve been loyal ShareGate customers for years because the product is intuitive, reliable, and makes migrations effortless. Their customer support is exceptional—responsive and knowledgeable—and the pricing offers great value compared to alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only area for improvement would be providing more in-depth training materials or enhanced video tutorials for a smoother onboarding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ShareGate is incredibly easy to use. The interface is straightforward and simplifies tasks that are usually complex, such as SharePoint and Teams migrations.

The migration process is reliable and smooth. The reporting tools—especially for permissions, cleanup, and pre-migration checks—save a lot of time and help avoid mistakes.

The upsides of using ShareGate include fast, stress-free migrations and helpful cleanup and governance reports that make managing environments much easier. It’s very user-friendly with almost no learning curve, and it consistently saves hours of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features feel limited when dealing with very large or complex environments. At times, you need to run multiple passes or perform manual checks to ensure everything transferred exactly as expected.

The reporting can be a bit basic in certain areas—especially if you’re looking for deeper analytics or long-term monitoring. It’s great for quick checks, but not always for detailed, ongoing governance.

The downsides of using ShareGate include occasional struggles with very large or highly customised migrations and some limitations in its advanced reporting and analytics. It also requires a desktop app rather than offering a fully cloud-based version, and the licensing cost can be a bit high for smaller teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
