ShareGate Reviews & Product Details

ShareGate provides a basic, intuitive interface for handling fairly complex content migration and security auditing tasks. The migration process itself is straightforward. Performance has varied quite a bit at times, but in most cases we’ve attributed that to factors outside of ShareGate rather than the tool itself. It also includes a robust set of reports that makes auditing and security management a lower-friction process overall. From a pricing standpoint, we appreciate the lack of a feature paywall; even though there are more ShareGate offerings now, usage isn’t metered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, there’s very little to dislike. The issues we’ve run into have been tied to feature-set changes in the SharePoint / 365 platform itself, rather than anything specific to ShareGate. Support has fallen short in only a couple of instances depending on the issue, but otherwise it has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used ShareGate for moving and archiving about 600 SharePoint sites and it made it easy to move the site contents without having to give myself permissions to each one. It really saved me a lot of time because otherwise, I would have had to manually navigate to the desired location and relocate the data by hand. The software just made it really easy to move the site contents with little fuss. Also, the initial setup was fairly straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it difficult because there isn't a search function for the sites, requiring me to scroll through the source and destination locations each time. When I have 750 sites, it's a lot of scrolling. I always wanted the destination to be the same, but I had to scroll and select that each time as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to perform complete management of teams, SharePoint sites, and backups is a major advantage. As we have many SharePoint sites, ShareGate helps us a lot in managing the teams and sites, allowing us to identify which teams are unused and which are exceeding storage, so we can make decisions based on the information provided by ShareGate. The integration with Microsoft is flawless, bringing all the teams with their files on the SharePoint site very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on the volume of data on a SharePoint site, Sharegate may fail to perform the backup, and in that case, it becomes necessary to do a manual migration. Additionally, the filter in Sharegate Desktop for executing the backup is not very efficient, because we need to scroll several times until we find the desired site. Finally, the price could be a bit lower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides being my go-to application for performing migrations, it’s also an essential tool for the administration and governance of SharePoint and Teams. I really appreciate the reporting and exporting features, which make it easier to manage and share the information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like to be able to refine the Permissions Matrix reports more easily by importing a CSV of the specific sites I want to report on. This would be a great enhancement when I need to choose a subset of sites from thousands, instead of having to select each site manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like ShareGate's simplistic yet powerful interface that allows me to do things logically, like migrating from one site to another or from one library to another. The granularity it offers is awesome. I find the ease of use to be one of the best features. It makes management straightforward, allowing admins to make things happen within our environment. Additionally, compared to other tools, the initial setup was easy and straightforward. The simpler, the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, being able to halt certain processes isn't as straightforward as I'd like. For instance, when migrating something, there's generally a way to stop the migration, but there are instances where it doesn't allow you to do so, making it hard to know when and how to stop things.

What I like best about ShareGate is its ability to simplify complex migrations while still offering powerful functionality. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, which makes it accessible even for users who are not deeply technical. At the same time, it provides robust features such as reliable data migration with full support for permissions and metadata, making it highly effective for enterprise environments.

Another standout aspect is its automation capability through PowerShell, which helps streamline repetitive tasks and improves efficiency. Additionally, the governance and reporting features are very useful for maintaining a well-organized and compliant environment.

Overall, ShareGate delivers an excellent balance between ease of use and advanced capabilities, making it a dependable tool for SharePoint and Microsoft 365 management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the main drawbacks of ShareGate is its pricing, which can be relatively high, especially for smaller organizations or teams with limited budgets. The licensing model may feel restrictive if you only need specific features rather than the full suite.

Additionally, while the tool is generally user-friendly, advanced configurations and troubleshooting can sometimes require deeper technical knowledge, particularly when dealing with complex environments or large-scale migrations.

Another area for improvement is performance during very large migrations, where operations can occasionally slow down or require careful planning to avoid interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been really impressed with ShareGate, especially how much time it saves when working in SharePoint environments. The interface is intuitive, and it makes tasks like migrations, permissions management, and site restructuring much easier than doing everything manually.

One thing I really like is how quickly you can get visibility into your environment—whether it’s permissions, content, or structure—and take action right away. The reporting and governance features are also a big plus, especially when trying to keep things clean and organized across multiple sites.

Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient tool that simplifies complex SharePoint work and makes day-to-day administration much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall ShareGate is a magnificent tool. I wish the Powershell interface was a little more intuitive and easier to use, as it could become an extremely powerful and useful timesaving tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how ShareGate makes SharePoint migration and administration easier to manage. It saves me a lot of manual effort, especially with permissions, metadata, version history, and validation. The initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the reporting and error details could be improved. I’d like more detailed error messages and clearer reporting for failed or skipped items. For some migration issues, I still need PowerShell or manual checks to troubleshoot further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Migration for sure, I use it for Sharepoint/Teams sites and also email migration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Onedrive migration I kinda remember it's not able to select mutiple users migration together, it only allow once a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes moving sites and getting reports about our SharePoint environment easy. Even as a Site Collection admin across numerous sites in our enterprise, it is useful daily. The performance is great and I like that I can tweak the settings based on the performance of our tenant/account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes we get errors regardless of how conservative we are during migrations, but overall few issues. It mostly just works as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
