ShareGate

What ShareGate does

ShareGate, operated by Workleap Platform inc., is a Microsoft 365 migration and governance platform headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2011, the company serves IT professionals and managed service providers responsible for executing tenant migrations, maintaining governance, and preparing environments for AI adoption in Microsoft 365. The company claims trust from over 100,000 IT professionals and operates a partner network exceeding 1,800 resellers, MSPs, and system integrators globally, with 650+ partners across EMEA following a recent QBS distribution expansion.

The platform consists of two core products: ShareGate Migrate, a downloadable desktop application handling tenant-to-tenant, on-premises-to-cloud, Google Workspace, and Box migrations across workloads including SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange Online, and Entra ID; and ShareGate Protect, a SaaS governance platform for oversharing remediation, AI/Copilot readiness assessments, and M365 cost optimization. In June 2026, ShareGate launched ShareGate MCP, a Model Context Protocol server that allows governance tasks to be executed conversationally through ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot, and the Entra ID Migration module consolidating identity and workload moves into a single platform. A PowerShell module supports scripted automations, and the platform reports migrating 5 PB of data monthly.

ShareGate employs a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales, self-serve trial funnels, and a global channel partner program. Revenue derives from annual perpetual licenses for Migrate ($5,995 Essentials, $9,995 Pro, $17,995 Enterprise tiers based on machine activations) and recurring per-user subscriptions for Protect with no minimums. Notable enterprise users include STIHL, IDEMIA, Baytex Energy, Compeer Financial, Lallemand, and Oxford Instruments, with channel partners CDW, Adepteq, SoftwareOne, and Avanade driving indirect revenue. The company reports a 96% CSAT score and 3-hour support response times.

Direct peers

• CloudFuze: Enterprise cloud-to-cloud migration vendor with strong Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 capabilities, overlapping with ShareGate Migrate's Google Workspace workload. Competes for large enterprise tenant-to-tenant deals.
• Quest Software (On Demand Migration): Direct competitor for tenant-to-tenant and Active Directory/Entra ID migration to Microsoft 365, overlapping with ShareGate's Migrate and the new Entra ID Migration module. Targets the same IT-pro buyer with similar workload coverage.

• CodeTwo: M365-focused vendor offering email signature management, migration, and backup; competes with ShareGate on Exchange Online and broader M365 management tooling for IT teams.
• AvePoint: Publicly traded M365 data management, migration, and governance platform with the closest product overlap to ShareGate's Migrate and Protect. Operates the largest direct competitor suite across migration, security, and governance for Microsoft 365.
• BitTitan (now part of AvePoint): Migration-focused platform (MigrationWiz) historically competing head-on with ShareGate Migrate for tenant and Google-to-M365 moves; now an AvePoint brand but still positioned as a direct alternative in the channel.
