How AI is used

ShareGate is a toolkit for the movement and management of data within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. It consists of two primary products: ShareGate Migrate, which handles the transfer of content, and ShareGate Protect, which focuses on ongoing security and governance.

The software is designed for IT admins, cloud architects, and system administrators moving data from SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and Google Workspace. It supports preserving metadata and permissions during these transitions to help maintain folder hierarchies.

Beyond migration, the tool helps teams identify governance gaps, such as inactive workspaces and overshared files. This is designed to help organizations prepare for Microsoft 365 Copilot by identifying sensitive data that may be surfaced by AI indexing.

Buyers should confirm their specific workload needs, as some features—such as Google Workspace and Exchange Online migration—are available only in the Pro and Enterprise plans.

FAQ

What is a machine activation in ShareGate?

Can I migrate Google Workspace data with the Essentials plan?

No, Google Workspace migration (including Drive, Gmail, and Calendar) is available in the Migrate Pro and Migrate Enterprise plans.

How does ShareGate help with AI and Copilot security?

ShareGate Protect identifies risky access patterns, such as overshared files and open links, that Microsoft 365 Copilot may surface, which helps admins lock down sensitive data before indexing.
