ShareGate review
A deep Microsoft 365 migration suite with annual pricing suited to larger IT teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ShareGate provides migration and governance tools for IT teams, administrators, cloud architects, partners, and organizations consolidating or modernizing Microsoft 365 environments. ShareGate Migrate covers tenant-to-tenant, on-premises-to-cloud, and Google Workspace-to-Microsoft 365 projects across SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Planner, Exchange Online, and Entra ID. ShareGate Protect adds SaaS-based Microsoft 365 governance, including visibility, risk assessment, oversharing remediation, reporting, and cost optimization. Migrate is a Windows desktop application, while Protect is SaaS-based.
Pricing is annual and paid, with a 15-day free trial. Essentials costs $5,995 per year and includes SharePoint, Teams, Planner, OneDrive, and file-share migration, file and folder structure validation, and one workstation. Pro costs $9,995 per year and adds Microsoft and Box migration tools, Google Workspace migration tools, Entra ID migration, Exchange Online mailbox migration, Microsoft Purview sensitivity label migration, and five workstations. Enterprise costs $17,995 per year and includes all listed Migrate workloads, up to 25 concurrent migrations, 24/7 premium support, and Microsoft Purview sensitivity label migration.
The standout strength is its coverage of Microsoft 365 migration details rather than simple file transfer. Pre-migration source analysis and planning, dependency mapping, preservation of permissions and metadata, version and structure preservation, and incremental migration reruns support staged projects. Its integrations include SharePoint, Teams, Planner, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Entra ID, Google Workspace, Box, file shares, and Microsoft Purview. ShareGate suits organizations with substantial Microsoft 365 migration or governance requirements and the budget for annual licensing. Smaller teams seeking a lower-cost, general-purpose cloud migration tool should look elsewhere, particularly if they do not need its Microsoft-focused workload coverage.
