AvePoint announced the launch of the AgentPulse Command Center, a new component of its Confidence Platform that functions as an AI agent registry and security control hub. The command center offers a single, integrated view of all AI agents operating within an organization, tracking activity, data access, and policy compliance while flagging oversharing and monitoring high‑activity agents. Administrators can remediate security or cost issues directly from the Confidence Platform interface, streamlining governance workflows.
The launch comes amid growing industry concern that 75% of organizations using AI have experienced a data breach in the past year, and that 40% of agentic AI projects are abandoned by 2027 due to inadequate governance. By providing real‑time visibility and cost‑control tools, AgentPulse addresses both security and financial risks that have become critical for enterprises adopting generative AI. The AI governance market is projected to reach $4.83 billion by 2034, and AvePoint’s integration with Microsoft 365, Azure, and other SaaS ecosystems positions it to capture a larger share of this expanding opportunity.
AvePoint’s Q3 2025 results underscore the strategic importance of the new product. Revenue rose 24% year‑over‑year to $109.73 million, driven by strong demand in its SaaS segment, which grew 44% to $77.3 million. Net income increased to $13.02 million, and earnings per share reached $0.06, a $0.01 miss against the consensus estimate of $0.07. Management attributed the revenue beat to robust customer adoption of its cloud‑based solutions and the EPS miss to higher operating expenses associated with accelerating product development and sales initiatives. The company highlighted record quarterly net new ARR and non‑GAAP operating profitability, signaling confidence in its ability to monetize the expanding AI platform.
Investors reacted to the earnings miss, with the market focusing on the EPS shortfall despite the revenue upside. The EPS miss reflected the company’s investment in new capabilities, including AgentPulse, and the associated cost increases. Analysts noted that while revenue growth remained solid, the EPS miss underscored the need for continued cost discipline as AvePoint scales its AI offerings.
Competitive analysis shows that AvePoint faces rivals such as Microsoft’s own governance tools, IBM’s AI security solutions, and emerging startups focused on AI compliance. AvePoint differentiates itself through its deep integration with the Microsoft ecosystem, a robust channel partner program of roughly 5,000 partners, and its AI Lab in Singapore, which supports ongoing research and innovation in AI governance. The company’s focus on AI governance aligns with broader industry trends of increased AI adoption and the corresponding need for secure, compliant deployment.
AgentPulse is currently available in private preview. AvePoint has not yet announced a general availability date, but the preview rollout is expected to expand to all customers in the coming months as the platform matures and additional compliance certifications are obtained.
