**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Theo C. | Functional Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2021

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

It is very easy to use ShareGate for migrating on-premise data to SharePoint. You can provide extra metadata for data in fileshares with a easy Excel file. You can also update metadata (in bulk) later on in the process. Also when migrating from SharePoint (on-premise) to SharePoint Online Sharegate provides a great set of standard reports you can use to support your business owners. You can also set up custom reports.

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

When migrating one SharePoint environment to another the extra feature for migrating Nintex workflows is not really working!
The error messages are not always accurate

**Recommendations to others considering ShareGate:**

If you want a easy-to-use migration tool for migrating SharePoint data (or on-premise data) to a different SharePoint environment. ShareGate is the tool you need.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. We use reporting functionallity to provide data to our business owners so they can make proper decisions about the use of their SharePoint environment
2. We are in the middle of an migration of one SharePoint Online tenant to another so we use ShareGate to migrate Teams and SharePoint sites
3. Inventarisation of custom objects or workflows or forms in our current environment

  ### 4. ShareGate is great

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2022

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

I love the simple, easy to use interface.  In the past we have used other tools (or even the tools built into Microsoft 365) and ShareGate beats them hands down.  On top of that the tool does exactly what the marketing says, from reporting to migration.

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

There is truly nothgin to dilike about ShareGate in my opinion.  My only really issue is actually an internal thing, the way our network is set up the authentication from inside the network can be a challenge.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

99% of the use cases fro SHareGate are around content migration.  Moving files from one locaiton to another, copy a list or library, etc.  More content managment then reporting for sure.  I have used a few reports in the past as well, but most of our users are using ShareGate for data management and migration.

  ### 5. Very helpful managing many SharePoint Sites and doing migrations. Good+comprehensive user interface

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Oil & Energy | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

The user interface and the speed at which you can manage migrations.

GUI doesn't respond to resized windows or smaller screen resolution on remote servers when connected via RDP. You have to scroll up and down.

Migrations (copying data between SharePoint Sites and from file system.

  ### 6. Intuitive tool that solves a lot of problems with migrating SharePoint sites/documents

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mining & Metals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 07, 2022

Limitations on what it can do, but improving all the time.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The easy migration of SharePoint files and sites, but more often recently has been lists.

  ### 7. The only tool you'll need for SharePoint administration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ted H. | SharePoint Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2021

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

ShareGate has the most uncomplicated user interface I've ever used. You can migrate a Site, content, or just files into SharePoint with a few button clicks. Conversely, you can fully customize the migration with the additional settings within the migration tool. It has an easy to use API for elaborate migrations. Performance is also customizable with a simple slider to migrate. This is very helpful when Microsoft decides to "tweak" their user requests limits algorythm causing other migrations to "time out". 

Above all, their customer support is the best of all of their competitors. I have sent tickets ranging from simple inquiries to advanced API migration strategies that I needed assistance with. They have always responded quickly and have solved 100% of my issues within the first or second contact.

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

It's hard to find something I dislike about the tool. But if I had to mention something I disliked, it would have to be the constant updates. It seems that every time I open ShareGate Desktop, there's a new update. But that's the nature of the beast with tools like this. Microsoft is always changing. In turn, ShareGate has to change with them.

**Recommendations to others considering ShareGate:**

I never start a new SharePoint role without my prospective employer knowing that ShareGate will be a part of the job. When it comes down to the cost, sometimes my managers will be a little hesitant. But when comparing ShareGate with other competitors, there isn't any competitor that comes close to the available feature set, cost & top-notch support that ShareGate has.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a SharePoint Administrator for 17 years and an independent contractor for five years, I have performed migrations for clients ranging from small mom & pop shops to global entities with 100,000+ users. Honestly, I can get done everything I need to through the M365 Admin panel, UI and PowerShell PNP. But I can do all the same things and a lot more, not to mention the great reporting features, with ShareGate in a tiny fraction of the time it would take me otherwise. This allows me even more time to help train and strategize with my clients to provide them the best SharePoint/Teams experience they can have.

  ### 8. ShareGate Desktop is the best for migrate data into Sharepoint or between Sharepoint sites

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeff B. | Head of IT Infrastructure, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

We used Sharegate to migrate approx 15TB of folders/files from traditional network file shares into various Sharepoint sites.  It was very easy to setup and run, and continued to run every few days to catch the "deltas"

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

Deal with banned characters in the folder or file names BEFORE you being the migrations is critical to your success.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/restrictions-and-limitations-in-onedrive-and-sharepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Sharegate in 2 use-cases:
1) bulk transfers from non-Sharepoint stores
2) cloning Sharepoint sites or splitting a large Sharepoint site into multiple smaller sites with different permission groups.

  ### 9. An absolute lifesaver for a SharePoint online administrator

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brian C. | Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2021

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

Sharegate has been one of my favorite tools as a office 365 and SharePoint administrator. The user interface is flawless, it offers extensive reporting and very robust migration options. The ability to throttle requests, change permissions, run extensive reporting through the included feature of apricot, as well as the exceptional support that I have received from sharegate makes this a must have.

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

I would not put this as a fault of sharegate but rather due to the fact of how powerful the tool is. There is a decent learning curve to ensure that the migration goes correctly and permissions are accurate at the destination.

**Recommendations to others considering ShareGate:**

Absolutely worth it just make sure you test it out and practice before doing anything production

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Migrations from on-premise file shares to SharePoint online as well as teams to teams consolidation or migrations

  ### 10. If you use SharePoint, you should be using ShareGate

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken N. | Power Platform Solutions and SharePoint Solutions Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2021

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

-Customer services, the team always get back to you, even though they don't have a solution yet, just to let you know that they are looking at it.

-the API is very useful when you have lots of data to migrate, with this you get better control on the migration process

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

Speed, I wish that it can speed up the migration, I understand that it is at the mercy of Azure. But if you can improve some how

**Recommendations to others considering ShareGate:**

I have used many other tools, ShareGate is simple to use and more reliable, Most of all the supports is great.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

-SharePoint migration, we migrate many sources into SharePoint online
-Copy sites and lists for development and backup before making any changes, we used to create scripts for this and it is working fine, but overtimes we realized that it is cheaper to use ShareGate vs having one developer scripting all day long.
-Permission report
-Copy permission between users, I'm sure you have one of those request "please make John's permission the same as me"

**Reviewed by:** Borhan Z. | Middleware Applications Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2021

I like that there useful reports ready to go, but we can also create custom reports to help us manage and govern our SharePoint sites (including OneDrive and Teams).

There is also a ShareGate extension on PowerShell, makes scripting migrations much easier.

**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

Sometimes, ShareGate migrations don't remember the login details used to set-up a migration, and so the migration fails. This is avoidable though.

Using ShareGate we manage our governance, tracking, management, deployment and most importantly - Migrations.

  ### 23. ShareGate - A real SharePoint Swiss Army Tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2018

**What do you like best about ShareGate?**

Started using Sharegate with just the migration piece a number of years ago. We needed a way to migrate a vast number of files and data to SharePoint in the cloud. After searching far and wide, we found Sharegate, purchased the migration piece, and quickly were moving files to the cloud, around the cloud, setting metadata and more. Awesome! Sharegate continues to improve frequently, adding new functions, tools, plus super responsive customer support!

The ShareGate team continues to improve and expand the capabilities of this tool. We've begun using it beyond SharePoint and into other Microsoft Cloud apps like OneDrive and Teams.



**What do you dislike about ShareGate?**

Let's see... What do I dislike about Sharegate? Perhaps that it can't read my mind, figure out what we need, and automatically do it for us.

**Recommendations to others considering ShareGate:**

If you're looking for or need a one-stop tool for SharePoint, take a hard look at Sharegate! You won't regret it and they offer a free trial. ShareGate has expanded their tool into OneDrive and Teams too.

**What problems is ShareGate solving and how is that benefiting you?**

After adopting SharePoint online, we quickly found it hard to move things around or in or out of SharePoint. No native tools or support for even say copy and paste records from one site to another. Sharegate solved ALL of that and much more.
