Teams moving to ShareGate from tools such as AvePoint, Metalogix, MigrationWiz, and Movebot describe choosing it for easier workflows, stronger migration capabilities, or a more suitable cost model.

"All the tools you need for easy SharePoint migrations and tenant management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

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.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

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.

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

ShareGate facilitates our SharePoint migrations from on-prem to cloud, but it also provides the ability to report on many different use case scenarios including stale content, last modified, permissions, and workflow associations. I also use it for bulk metadata updates for list and library items, exporting large document libraries for archiving or system integrations, and for annual permission audits.

"Effortless SharePoint Management with Intuitive Tools"

5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

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.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

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.

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

Managing SharePoint at scale often leads to blind spots, but ShareGate has helped us eliminate them. We now enjoy clear visibility into permissions, external sharing, and inactive content throughout our tenant. Compliance audits that once required days can now be completed in just a few hours. Our team is able to respond to governance queries with precise data rather than relying on best guesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Cloud Migration and Data Analysis with ShareGate"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

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 do you dislike about ShareGate?

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.

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

Definitely it helps me in my migration from on-prem to cloud and migration of OneDrive from one geo-location to another.

Soon as the ShareGate Protect is promising, it can help me in my project for "Data Sharing Management in OneDrive".

As it can detect files that are over shared as an example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use making migrations between tenants quick and efficient. Also facilitates the management of the SharePoint environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
