the ShareGate migration tool – from migration to content management, it is used to migrate to Microsoft 365, move channels in Teams, and merge tenants.
the Permissions Matrix Report used to validate, monitor and manage permissions for internal and external users. It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.
the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.
the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.
a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.

Professional in Information Technology (5001-10,000 employees employees)

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

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sharegate is used to manage multiple environments both in the cloud and on prem. The reporting makes it simple. The pre-scheduling of migrations is a huge Time Saver. It makes managing multiple environments very easy. My entire team loves it. Their support is top-notch.

Pros

  • Migrations
  • Reporting
  • Day-to-day management
  • Pre-scheduling

Cons

  • I haven't found anything I don't like

Most Important Features

  • Migration
  • Reporting
  • Scheduling
  • Pre test processes

Return on Investment

  • Share gate has saved my colleagues and I hundreds of hours of migration headaches
  • Share Gates reporting tools as an administrator make my job very very simple.
  • The ROI could be measured alone in man hours saved migrating environments. That alone has probably paid for the licensing cost
