Hello – I am new to SharePoint but have 10+ years of Document Management experience with Documentum and Livelink. I started at a new company who has no records/document management processes or systems in place and are in the process of migrating their office suite to 365, including SharePoint so that seems the most economical to implement for document/records management. I am working with the business to determine their controlled records and we will need to migrate key files from the network drive (where they currently work) to SharePoint. I want the company to benefit from as many features of SharePoint as possible and Metadata (columns/attributes), but to support a clean migration it would be best to migrate content AND our required metadata at once. My IT has identified a migration tool that can do content but I have spoken with them and they are unable to include metadata.
Does anyone know of anything (affordable or free) that can do both?
Dear Rachel,
For your SharePoint migration with metadata needs, Please have a look at Vyapin’s SharePoint Migration Tool – http://www.vyapin.com/products/sharepoint-migration/dockit/sharepoint-migration-tools too.

Hi Rachel, I just remembered this awesome comparision matrix that @alexdove created : https://collab365.org/sharepoint-comparison-matrix-for-3rd-party-migration-tools/
hi Rachel, I’ve asked AvePoint, Sharegate, Metalogix and Lepide to provide an answer. I am not sure 100% how much Metadata then can bring over (from on-prem to Online),
