Lightning Tools DeliverPoint vs. ShareGate

Copy user permissions through the whole sites of SharePoint farm

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.

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

Haven't needed it that many times. But they respond very fast and are knowledgeable. They are easy to reach!

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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.

• Speeds up the management of user permissions
• Provides a comprehensive overview of permissions and settings of individual security levels across areas of company informations

• 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
