    Desktop Operating System upgrades and migrations to ensure installed applications are compatible with the new environment. If an environment does not have a lot of locally installed applications and heavily dependent on web applications, cloud applications, and Microsoft App-V, then AppDNA is not going to be beneficial in that organization.

    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.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Citrix AppDNA has a user friendly interface for admins to use and the product is updated well by Citrix Support.
    • It does not take a lot of resources to deploy AppDNA and can be done within a work week even for a large environment.
    • The reports not only show compatible and incompatible applications, but provide suggested solutions for incompatible applications to resolve and make them compatible with new Operating System.
    • If you have Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop Platinum, AppDNA is included and no additional cost.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Citrix AppDNA should get more frequent updates on application compatibility list and provide even more detailed suggestions for fixes and perhaps auto-fix feature for some applications.
    • Compatiblity with legacy Operating Systems could be expanded to include more applications and OS to increase usability.
    • A good essential tool that should be marketed more by Citrix to organizations for usage beyond Citrix environment. Most non-Citrix IT personnel and management are unaware of the benefits of AppDNA and it's ability to help with desktop Operating System migrations.

    It is a powerful tool for copying files along with their associated metadata and version history. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and supports workflow migrations. However, it may not be ideal for non-technical users. Currently, it does not support Power Platform workflow migrations and lacks a pause function—offering only start or stop options during migration.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the ShareGate tool, which is used effectively for migration purposes, not only to migrate the contents from SharePoint to SharePoint but also to the contents from file share to SharePoint. This tool helps us review the warnings/errors from the migrations quickly and helps us identify what caused the errors. I hope the ShareGate product team will consider migration of power automated workflows using this tool in future releases.

    The tool is generally very reliable, with minimal downtime or unplanned outages. It performs consistently during migrations and administrative tasks, and users rarely encounter critical application errors.

    In most cases, ShareGate performs well—pages load quickly, and reports are generated in a reasonable timeframe, even for moderately complex environments. Its interface is responsive, and it handles standard migrations and administrative tasks efficiently. However, performance can slow down during very large migrations or when processing high volumes of data, especially if the source or destination environments are heavily customized

    You only need some global admin consent after that you can do almost anything which is available in the app.

    AppDNA is more robust and provide a nice report of application compatibility list to review and segment verified applications from problematic applications. It takes one step further from the Microsoft Windows Migration Tool by providing solutions to fix the problematic applications.

    Cost prohibitive since it's based on size migrated and rather expensive. However, the feature-set is VERY good and has some things ShareGate doesn't.

    ShareGate scales well across departments and sites, supporting large migrations and tenant moves with strong Microsoft 365 integration. However, it lacks advanced automation, Power Platform support, and pause/resume functionality, which can limit its effectiveness in highly complex or enterprise-scale environments.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • AppDNA was relatively easy to deploy with a small team of 3-4 support IT personnel and took a week to deploy and another week for us to configure and use.
    • Great tool to cut down on manual process of testing initial application compatibility before system upgrade.
    • If you are a Citrix Platinum customer, there is no reason not to use this tool and a great way to consider upgrading to Platinum if you are an Advance or Enterprise customer.
    • For a single large organization (over 3000 desktops), if you are planning a desktop Operating System upgrade you need to take a look at AppDNA.

    • 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

    ShareGate Screenshots

    Screenshot of the ShareGate migration tool – from migration to content management, it is used to migrate to Microsoft 365, move channels in Teams, and merge tenants.Screenshot of 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.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of 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.Screenshot of 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.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
