"Functional Decline, Lacking Support"

0.5/5

What do you like best about ShareGate?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ShareGate?

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.
