Easier SharePoint/M365 Administration when using ShareGate
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We mostly use ShareGate for complex and comprehensive migrations between tenants/sites. But ShareGate is also very usable on a daily basis for more simple administration tasks like copying libraries and (their contents), running reports for audit purposes and removing orphaned users and managing MS Teams (for example: sites without owners). The time you save in comprehension to other tools is worth the money of a ShareGate license!
Pros
- Migrating Sites and data on harddrives to SharePoint
- Copying all kinds of SharePoint objects between sites
- Reports on Orphaned users and other audit requirements
Cons
- More and better reports
- Sometimes errors for a migration aren't that clear
- A more wizard like approach for importing data from a networkdrive would be nice
Return on Investment
- We save money and time on our migrations by using ShareGate
