Migrate Entra ID first. Everything else follows.

Get your migration sequence right before you move a single file to avoid problems once you get started.

Step 01

Users and groups 


Start by copying users, security groups, and M365 groups to the destination tenant so your migration has a solid foundation.

Step 02

Mailboxes and content 


With identities already mapped, mailboxes land correctly, files reach the right owners, and permissions follow automatically.

Step 03

Move with confidence, not crossed fingers

Move through your complete migration without identity mismatches, permission errors, or last-minute fixes.
How it works

The Entra ID migration capabilities IT teams actually need

Most identity migration problems aren't discovered during the migration. They're found after, when a mailbox lands in the wrong place, a permission doesn't follow, or a user can't log in.

ShareGate gives you full control of every mapping decision before execution, so usual problems get caught before anything moves, not after the fact.

See every identity and what will happen to it.

Get a view of all your users, groups, and security groups and see every conflict before anything runs.

Fix mismatches before they become failures. 

Choose how users match between tenants and correct issues before execution. No more mid-migration surprises. 

Assign licenses during migration, not after.

Make sure users arrive in the destination tenant licensed and ready for mailbox migration. No manual step, no delays. 

Re-run without rebuilding.

Save your mapping plan and reuse it across migration waves. No starting over every time you run a new batch. 

Get your domains to translate between tenants the first time.

Define exactly how domains map from source to destination, even across complex multi-domain environments.

Have your users ready to work as soon as they land

An automated first-login flow means migrated users can access their new account immediately. No IT hand-holding required.

Pricing model

Flat annual fee of $9,995/yr. Unlimited users, unlimited data, unlimited migration passes.

Mailbox and content migration included.

Active Directory / Entra ID migration is priced per user at $6.25/user for 12 months (SMB Edition, up to 1,000 users).

Above 1,000 users, it moves to the Enterprise Edition (PowerSyncPro Directory Sync) at $8.00/user, or contact sales.

Per migrated source account, sold via subscription. Quote-based, with no prices published on quest.com.

Only user accounts consume a license; groups and contacts don't.
Workflow integration

Entra ID is one of the workloads you can migrate with ShareGate Migrate Pro, along with Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and more.

Migrate identities, mailboxes, and content in one tool with one subscription.

Identity migration is a separate product (Active Directory license) outside the core MigrationWiz mailbox and workload workflows.

Requires purchasing and managing multiple licenses for a complete tenant migration.

Identity migration is part of Quest ODM's broader platform but sold separately under AD-specific subscription plans.

Pre-migration conflict detection

Conflicts between source and destination identities are surfaced before execution.

Review and resolve mapping issues before anything moves.

No dedicated pre-migration conflict review. Matching is resolved during the migration pass, where source data overwrites the matched target.

Simulate Change isn't supported when Entra ID is the destination.

A pre-migration Matching step pairs source and target objects and produces a matched/unmatched list to review before anything moves.
Manual identity mapping

Manually choose, correct, or override how users match between tenants.

Supports complex M&A scenarios, multi-domain environments, and cases where automatic matching is insufficient.

Automatic matching based on UPN and attributes.

Manual override of individual user mappings isn't supported in cloud-to-cloud scenarios.

Match manually or by up to three chosen attribute pairs. Domain Move is supported; UPN changes happen via domain pairing (local name kept, domain swapped), not a distinct "UPN rewrite" feature.
Re-runs and delta passes

Unlimited re-runs at no extra cost.

Run as many migration waves as your project requires, across all users and all workloads, all covered under one flat annual license.

Each migration pass billed per user.

Re-runs and delta passes incur additional cost under the per-user model. Removing and re-adding a user to a project consumes a new license.

One license covers re-migration of the same user. New users added to scope consume an additional license.

Frequently asked questions

Which Entra ID objects does ShareGate Migrate support?

ShareGate migrates users, security groups, Microsoft 365 groups, and group memberships between cloud Microsoft 365 tenants. License assignment is included as part of the migration flow.

ShareGate doesn’t migrate device objects, workstation profiles, or on-premises Active Directory. It's purpose-built for cloud-to-cloud tenant migrations.

When should I migrate Entra ID users in a tenant-to-tenant migration?

Entra ID should be the first thing you migrate in a tenant-to-tenant project. Identities need to exist in the destination tenant before mailbox migration can begin. If they don't, mailboxes can't map correctly and permissions won't follow.

ShareGate is built around this sequence: migrate Entra ID users and groups first, then mailboxes, then content, all with the same tool. Getting the order right is what prevents the cleanup work that happens when identity is treated as an afterthought.

What should organizations consider when matching and migrating identities between Entra ID tenants?

The most important thing is resolving how users in the source tenant correspond to accounts in the destination before execution. ShareGate surfaces conflicts—cases where automatic matching is ambiguous or incorrect—so you can review and override them before anything moves.

For M&A scenarios with multiple source tenants or complex domain structures, manual identity mapping is available to handle cases where automatic matching isn't enough. The goal is to start the migration with every mapping confirmed, so permissions follow the way they’re supposed to and users can work on day one.
