ShareGate

What ShareGate is
ShareGate provides migration tools alongside Microsoft 365 governance and security products. ShareGate Migrate moves SharePoint, Teams, and Planner content between on-premises and cloud environments, between tenants, or within an environment. Pro and Enterprise plans add workloads such as Google Workspace, Exchange Online, Box, and Entra ID identity migration. Migrate installs on Windows computers and does not support macOS. ShareGate Protect gives visibility into a Microsoft 365 tenant, identifies risky sharing and permissions, and provides actions for addressing issues. Its reports cover sites, groups, OneDrives, sharing links, and users, and AI can generate reports from plain-language prompts. Protect is limited to one production tenant per subscription. Protect and Migration Assessment encrypt data in transit with TLS 1.2 and at rest with 256-bit AES; they do not collect full document contents or personal messages and email content. Data at rest can be stored in North America or Europe, while processing remains in Azure East US 1. Pricing starts at $5,995/yr with a 15-day trial.
