Should I use ShareGate?

Simplify Microsoft 365 migrations & governance - sharegate.com

· 2 weeks ago

Buy if you're an IT team or MSP facing a real SharePoint, Teams, or tenant-to-tenant migration or M365 governance sprawl. Skip if you're a small org moving a few folders — Microsoft's free Migration Manager covers that.

MSP licensing differs from in-house licensing; confirm before quoting client work

medium

Migrate and Protect are separately priced products; budget for both
