3.5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

Migration tools. User OneDrive management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

"Seamless SharePoint Migrations to the Cloud"

Seamless migrations, allows you to move entire sites, lists, document libraries, and columns from older on-premises versions directly to SharePoint Online in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During migrations, it does not preserve the original IDs of SharePoint objects, which can break direct links to those items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rich Functionality, Minor Authentication Annoyance"

4/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

I used ShareGate to complete a company-wide migration of on-premises SMB file shares into SharePoint Online. I appreciate its rich functionality, which allowed me to split a large, monolithic site into smaller sites. The initial setup was very easy, and it moves large amounts of data between sites reliably while maintaining version history and metadata and providing reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

I kept having to reauthenticate. It would be much better if it stopped requiring the need to reauthenticate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Brittany Freitas of ShareGate

edit

Thanks for the kind words on functionality and fair feedback on the authentication friction. Good news: we recently released the Connection Manager, which saves your SharePoint and Microsoft 365 connections automatically so you don't have to re-enter them each time. You'll find it under Settings → Connections in ShareGate Migrate. You can click on the link below for a quick walkthrough.

"A Versatile Solution with Room for Improvement"

4/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

I like the versatility of ShareGate. It's like a Swiss army knife and good for a lot of things, especially in migration and reporting. I also value the custom reporting feature. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

I don't like that multi-site migration and OneDrive bulk jobs can't run serialized using the GUI. Setting up batch-jobs that work with a multi-server load balancing system would be better, instead of having isolated servers that don't communicate. They also seem to have lost momentum by focusing on Exchange and Entra migration rather than making SharePoint migration best in class. And not including Apricot in the 5-user license package is a no-go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, Great Support—Made Our File Share to SharePoint Migrations Smooth"

5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

Easy of use and overall support. The tool has helped us with numerous migrations from file shares to SharePoint and helped us secure and modernize our organization in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

Very little honestly. The tool "just works". We've had a few small issues with licensing but were able to get them corrected easily. Early on there was a problem where it would lose permission on a file share if the server was rebooted but that hasn't been an issue in a while. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Migration, Intuitive Interface"

5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

I love the ShareGate interface, it's very easy to use. Even an untrained person can use it, and I find it quite effective. I find tenant migration with ShareGate efficient, whether it's from on-prem elements to the cloud or for data migration in general. For me, ShareGate is quite performant, especially after working on a migration of nearly 40 terabytes on-prem to Office 365 without limitations from ShareGate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

Today, it is a missing feature in ShareGate to allow the migration of workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Data Migration with ShareGate"

5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

I find the GUI of ShareGate very easy to use and self-explanatory. It's simple to move high volumes of data in the background with great ease, ensuring the data has been successfully transferred. The errors displayed help quickly identify any anomalies and correct them as soon as possible. Also, the initial setup of ShareGate was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

I haven't found anything that doesn't work well with ShareGate so far. The only thing is that single sign-on would be a little more helpful, especially if the sign-ins could be used for both the source and the target. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
