ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of admiralmetabolic and OpenCTI — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
admiralmetabolic has covered its core obesity derivations and moved to upkeep.
Three releases in thirteen months took the package from two anthropometric ratio derivations to ADVS, ADCOEQ and ADLB templates with matching vignettes and shared SDTM test data. The February 2026 release contains no new functions — a template path fix, a CRAN relative-path fix, central lint configuration, and the kapa.ai Ask AI widget added across admiral documentation.
OpenCTI spends a release unblocking queues and hardening upserts
7.260817.0 is a fix release. The most consequential item is malformed STIX messages nacking forever and blocking worker queues indefinitely — a stall in the ingestion path rather than a display bug. Alongside it: upsert clearing an existing createdBy when incoming confidence is higher, draft upserts crashing on existing attack patterns, OTP handling in the stream middleware, and case template relation authorization. Score fields were added to threat actor groups, intrusion sets and malware.

The package is consolidating into the pharmaverse ecosystem rather than growing its own surface: test datasets moved out to pharmaversesdtm, lint configuration moved to admiraldev, and documentation now points back at the shared admiral ecosystem page. What stays package-specific is the metabolic derivations themselves.
With no metabolic-specific derivations in the latest release, the next cycle looks more likely to bring another dataset or template than new functions.

The platform's feature energy went into the connector catalog and integrations rework in July, and the releases since have been consolidating: mass operations on relation times, shareable saved searches, and now a pass over ingestion robustness. Adding score to more entity types continues the slow enrichment of the data model that runs underneath the feature work.
Given score arriving on three entity types in one release, expect it to keep spreading across the data model, and the queue-blocking class of bug to draw more worker-side hardening.
