From the vendor

AvePoint Cloud Governance is a governance and provisioning solution from AvePoint, a New Jersey-based vendor founded in 2001 that serves over 28,000 organizations globally. The product provides automated governance, policy enforcement, and self-service provisioning for Microsoft 365 workspaces including Teams, SharePoint, and Groups, with capabilities extending to Google Workspace, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure, Salesforce, and AWS.

The platform enables IT teams to implement governance policies that automatically apply across workspaces and revert out-of-policy changes without manual intervention. Users can request new Teams, SharePoint sites, or Groups through guided self-service while IT maintains central control. Lifecycle automation handles workspace archiving, deletion, and renewal to maintain compliance and manage costs. The solution includes proactive monitoring of external sharing and guest access, workspace sprawl reduction through automated provisioning, and consistent enforcement of naming conventions and security standards.

Pricing is not published and is available by quote only from AvePoint's sales team, typically based on user count or data volume depending on the specific product tier. The platform deploys as a cloud-based service via AvePoint's Confidence Platform, accessible through a web browser console without requiring on-premises installation. AvePoint integrates across its Confidence Platform to support Microsoft 365, providing multi-tenant console capabilities for MSPs managing multiple customer environments. Support and implementation options are available through AvePoint's enterprise sales process. The solution targets IT directors seeking efficiency, security officers managing risk, and business owners balancing productivity with security controls. MSPs should verify whether specific governance, provisioning, policy enforcement, and backup features are bundled together or licensed separately, and confirm that the deployment model and feature set match their customers' tenant sizes and compliance requirements before committing.

Our take

AvePoint Cloud Governance is now positioned as Operational Governance within the Confidence Platform. Pricing is enterprise quote-only, with no published tier information available. MSPs should verify which specific governance capabilities are included in the tier they need and confirm whether provisioning, policy enforcement, and backup features are bundled or licensed separately. Compare against alternatives like ManageEngine Cloud Access Governance Plus or cloud-native Microsoft Entra governance tools before committing. Confirm product name and feature set at time of quote.
