February 6, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ShareGate to move the contents from SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint online, copy the Nintex workflows associated with SharePoint list/site collection to other site collection repositories, and copy contents from file share to SharePoint online/on-prem site collections.

Pros

SharePoint on-prem to online migrations with contents.
SharePoint online to online migrations.
File share migrations to SharePoint on-prem or online sites.
Copy the Nintex workflows to SharePoint online.

Cons

Elaborate details about migration errors/warnings.
Copy just workflow abilities, especially power automate, Nintex site workflows/list workflows.
Modern UI look.

Likelihood to Recommend

ShareGate is well suited for SharePoint on-prem to on prem site migrations, on-prem site to online SharePoint migrations, file share migrations to SharePoint online. Moving power and automating workflows using the ShareGate tool is less appropriate.

Easier SharePoint/M365 Administration when using ShareGate

Rating: 8 out of 10

January 22, 2025

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

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for all kinds of migrations big and small. The reports are also very usefull and the MS Teams administration options are a bonus. It's file/networkdrive migration options could be completere but they work. I hope ShareGate will invest some more effort in to that feature. ShareGate is quite complete as it is right now.

Sharegate is great for Sharepoint Administration and Migration

Rating: 10 out of 10

October 12, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use ShareGate for a number of purposes. The main purpose is migrating SharePoint site collections and content between our environments and within an environment. We also use ShareGate to run permissions matrix reports. We are currently exploring Apricot functions for our Teams purposes, however not at this time do we use this in production. ShareGate Desktop is the tool we use currently. We also love the different reporting features available for site collections. Lastly, we use ShareGate to remove orpaned users each month

Pros

Site Collection and content migration
Permissions Reporting
Content searching

Cons

Auditing -connect with MS purview
Better reports export for permissions matrix
Better user mapping (poll source and destination sites and try to auto map)

Likelihood to Recommend

Migrations from one 365 tenant to another are so easy with Sharegate that there is little work to prepare and post-check. This tool is very user friendly and if you understand Sharepoint you can understand Sharegate. One other feature I like about Sharegate is that you can migrate parts of Sharepoint and not just the whole thing!
