Spiceworks
Spiceworks covers the Microsoft 365 outage from the help desk's side.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ChurnZero and DoneDone — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ChurnZero's last two monthly release posts arrived with no feature detail captured.
ChurnZero has spent the past year putting AI agents into customer success work: signal agents for risk and opportunity, Pilot drafting emails inside Plays, and the June 2026 Agentic Essentials tier with an MCP server that feeds live account data into Claude and ChatGPT. The September and October 2026 release posts were published on schedule, but the captured feed text carries no feature detail, so the latest confirmed changes are July's Pilot email starter library and Play step work.
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.

The visible arc runs from AI signals (January and February) to agents acting inside Plays (May to July), with Agentic Essentials packaging that as a paid tier. Monthly cadence is intact; what shipped in the last two months cannot be judged from these entries.
Unclear from the captured entries: the monthly posts will keep coming, but whether recent months extended the agent layer or focused on integrations is not visible here.

After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
