Policy Management
ConvergePoint alternatives compared with Policy Management
ConvergePoint requires SharePoint. If your team runs WordPress — not Microsoft 365 — this is the alternative.
Policy Management Pro works on the WordPress site you already have. No SharePoint licence needed. No per-user cost.
The numbers
What you actually pay.
Per-seat SaaS pricing climbs with every hire. A self-hosted licence is flat — one annual fee per site, regardless of user count.

Why teams switch
What SaaS compliance really costs you.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Every new hire raises the SaaS bill. A self-hosted Policy Management licence is flat — add staff and sites without adding cost.
Your acknowledgement records live on their servers
Sign-off records and audit evidence sit in someone else’s cloud, under their retention, access, and uptime rules.
Leaving means a painful migration
Limited export and complex data retrieval make renewal feel mandatory — even when the tool no longer fits your organisation.

Common questions, answered.
We use Microsoft 365 — is Policy Management Pro still worth it?
Yes, if your site or intranet runs on WordPress. You can run Policy Management Pro on WordPress while your team also uses M365 for email and documents.
How difficult is the WordPress setup compared to SharePoint?
Significantly simpler. Install the plugin, configure settings, and start publishing policies. No SharePoint farm, no PowerShell, no Azure AD configuration.
Can staff access policies without a WordPress admin login?
Yes. The plugin provides frontend acknowledgement pages via shortcodes, so staff never see the admin dashboard.
Does Policy Management Pro integrate with Active Directory or Entra ID?
Not natively. WordPress SSO plugins (like WP SAML Auth) handle Entra ID at the platform level, and Policy Management works alongside them.
