As managed service providers (MSPs) take on greater responsibility for AI governance, security oversight, cloud optimization, and operational efficiency, managing customer environments at scale becomes increasingly complex. This month's AvePoint Elements release introduces new capabilities that help partners gain visibility into AI adoption, strengthen security and compliance, optimize Azure operations, and streamline service delivery through a centralized management experience.
Gain Greater Visibility into AI Adoption
As organizations expand their use of AI, visibility into agent activity, ownership, and data access is becoming essential for effective governance and oversight.
AI Agent Management Insights introduces a dedicated MSP experience for monitoring AI agents across customer tenants. New dashboards and reports provide visibility into agent adoption, activity trends, ownership, sensitive file access, and usage patterns, helping MSPs support governance initiatives while promoting responsible AI adoption.
Strengthen Security and Compliance
Maintaining secure and compliant customer environments requires ongoing visibility into configuration changes, risks, and vulnerabilities.
New Deviation Assessments in Baseline Management make it easier to identify configuration drift and monitor alignment with approved baselines. Interactive dashboards provide alignment scores, risk levels, baseline coverage, and prioritized remediation recommendations, while exportable reports support customer reviews, audits, and compliance initiatives. AI-powered recommendations help surface the most important issues to address first.
The release also introduces Vulnerability Detection capabilities across managed devices and applications, helping MSPs identify security risks more quickly. Detailed visibility into vulnerabilities and remediation priorities supports a more proactive approach to endpoint and application security, reducing exposure and improving overall security posture.
Optimize Azure Operations and Costs
Managing Azure resources efficiently remains a key priority as cloud investments continue to grow.
Now available in public preview, Azure Cost Management provides centralized visibility into Azure spending across customer environments. MSPs can analyze costs, monitor forecasts, identify optimization opportunities, and gain greater insight into budget trends, helping customers improve financial oversight and control cloud expenses more effectively.
For organizations using Azure Virtual Desktop, Off-Hours VM Optimization helps reduce infrastructure costs by automatically resizing virtual machines during non-business hours and restoring them when needed. Additional Azure Virtual Desktop enhancements, including reusable VM image creation, help simplify deployment and ongoing management while improving operational efficiency.
Improve Service Delivery and Operational Efficiency
This release also introduces several enhancements designed to simplify administration and improve consistency across customer environments.
Workspace Management now integrates with the new MyHub experience, delivering a more modern and streamlined interface with support for both Microsoft Teams and web access. Automatic upgrades and migration support help simplify the transition while providing users with a consistent experience across environments.
With SaaS Backup Pool Licensing, MSPs can centrally manage Cloud Backup for SaaS Applications subscriptions through a unified experience. License assignment, usage tracking, billing visibility, reporting, and customer access are managed through a single experience, reducing administrative overhead and simplifying subscription management.
Elements also delivers enhanced script management and automation capabilities, providing a centralized way to create, manage, deploy, and monitor scripts across customer environments. These improvements help standardize common operational tasks, reduce manual effort, and promote more consistent service delivery.
Built for Modern MSP Operations
From AI governance and security management to Azure optimization and service automation, this release helps MSPs manage customer environments more efficiently through a centralized platform experience.
Together, these enhancements continue to expand AvePoint Elements as a centralized platform for managing AI governance, security, cloud operations, and service delivery across customer environments.
