What is Avoma?
Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
What is KACE?
KACE extends its PHP2SHELL fix to the SDA deployment appliance, six days after disclosure.
KACE has now patched the critical PHP2SHELL vulnerabilities across both appliances: SMA 15.1 and 15.0 on October 23, and the SDA 9.3 deployment appliance on October 27. SMA also gained official support for Windows 11 26H2 agents and patches, following KACE Cloud's 26H2 support a few days earlier.
Avoma vs KACE: editorial side-by-side
Avoma
6.3COLLAB
Avoma's meeting data is now reachable over MCP, buried in a monthly roundup between SEO posts.
◆ Current state
The tracked feed is mostly Avoma's comparison-content engine — Pipedrive vs Salesforce, HubSpot vs Zoho, Gong vs Chorus, Outreach vs Salesloft — aimed at buyers shopping adjacent categories rather than at existing users. The product signal arrives once a month in an Insider roundup, and July's carries the substantive items: secure MCP access, source selection in Ask Avoma, AI email templates, and rebuilt Pipeline Walk and Pipeline Trend reports.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are happening at once. The product is opening up — MCP access means the meeting record stops being something you read inside Avoma and becomes something other agents can query, and letting users pick which sources Ask Avoma draws from is a trust control on the same surface. The content operation, meanwhile, is chasing CRM and revenue-tooling comparison traffic, which reaches buyers evaluating a category Avoma sits beside rather than in.
◆ Prediction
Expect Ask Avoma to keep gaining grounding and scoping controls now that source selection exists, and the MCP surface to widen if it is picked up. The monthly Insider post will stay the only place shipped work is visible, so per-feature detail will keep arriving bundled and late.
KACE
5.0COLLAB
KACE extends its PHP2SHELL fix to the SDA deployment appliance, six days after disclosure.
◆ Current state
KACE has now patched the critical PHP2SHELL vulnerabilities across both appliances: SMA 15.1 and 15.0 on October 23, and the SDA 9.3 deployment appliance on October 27. SMA also gained official support for Windows 11 26H2 agents and patches, following KACE Cloud's 26H2 support a few days earlier.
◆ Where it's heading
The changelog is dominated by security response and OS-version coverage, with both SMA branches patched in lockstep. Feature work is limited to agent reliability fixes. KACE behaves like a maintained endpoint-management line rather than one being redirected.
◆ Prediction
Expect November Patch Tuesday content and further cumulative patches on both SMA branches. The entries don't point to new feature work.
