Are you assuming MigrationWiz will carry over SharePoint Online permissions, only to find after cutover that ACLs did not come across?

MigrationWiz will migrate SharePoint Online document library content including files, folders, metadata, and version history within the destination library version limits. What it does not bring over includes SharePoint permission inheritance, site-level sharing settings, external user access grants, and SPO web parts or site features that are not present in the destination tenant.

In tenant-to-tenant SPO migrations, ShareGate tends to handle permissions migration more thoroughly because it is built specifically for SharePoint structure and content. MigrationWiz SharePoint capability is strongest when you are primarily moving document library content and expect permissions to be re-established through Entra ID group memberships in the destination tenant anyway.

Across two acquisition programs involving more than 100 SharePoint sites, ShareGate was used for this exact reason. The tool choice was driven by what the destination ACL model required, not by familiarity or preference.

What is guiding your decision between MigrationWiz and ShareGate for your SPO content migration?
