Keboola is clearing legacy plumbing so its AI agent has a clean platform to run on.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Basedash and ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Basedash is turning chat and MCP into the main way dashboards get built.
Basedash is an AI-first BI tool where the chat assistant now builds and edits full dashboards, not single charts, with a live preview inside the conversation. Its MCP server can write real Basedash artifacts from Cursor, Claude, or any MCP client. A Models layer of governed, reusable SQL and an AI Sources panel sit underneath, giving the assistant shared definitions and making its answers inspectable.
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
RecoveryManager Plus is a backup-and-recovery tool for Active Directory and Microsoft 365, and it is the most feature-active of the ManageEngine set here. Recent builds add real backup coverage — AD sites and subnets, Entra ID local admin passwords, S3-compatible repositories, SIEM audit forwarding, and Entra ID BitLocker recovery keys — alongside CVE patches and RemCom agent hardening. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

A Models layer of governed, reusable SQL and an AI Sources panel sit underneath, giving the assistant shared definitions and making its answers inspectable.
The last six weeks show a clear sequence: make AI answers traceable (Sources), give the AI governed building blocks (Models), then let it produce whole dashboards both in-app and from external agent clients. Distribution is moving outward too, through Grok Bot, MCP, and four interface languages. The dashboard is turning into something an agent generates on request, with Basedash acting as the governed system of record.
Expect the dashboard-generation flow to reach automations next, letting agents schedule or monitor what they build, along with more controls on which Models agents may use.

Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.
The direction is coverage expansion: methodically extending what can be backed up and restored across on-prem AD and Entra ID, while broadening cloud storage targets and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.
Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.
