Displayr vs ManageEngine ADManager Plus: at a glance
What is Displayr?
Displayr lets users pick Chat's AI model and reasoning level, and pay by the token
On 13 November Displayr added a model and reasoning picker to Chat, with each model drawing down the AI package at a different rate; GPT-6 Astra costs about ten times GPT-5.4 per token. That follows Google Slides export on 9 November and a move of custom visualizations to their own domain a week earlier. September brought Rules through Chat and API document duplication.
What is ManageEngine ADManager Plus?
ADManager Plus Build 8050 adds blast-radius maps and ML-driven access reviews.
After a 2026 of mostly fix builds, ManageEngine ADManager Plus Build 8050 (9 November) is a feature release. It adds an Impact Radius view showing which objects a compromised privileged account could reach, adaptive access reviews that trigger certification when risky access is detected and suggest approve or revoke, WCAG accessibility controls, attribute dependencies in templates, and wider Entra ID and Azure app role backups.

◆ Current state
On 13 November Displayr added a model and reasoning picker to Chat, with each model drawing down the AI package at a different rate; GPT-6 Astra costs about ten times GPT-5.4 per token. That follows Google Slides export on 9 November and a move of custom visualizations to their own domain a week earlier. September brought Rules through Chat and API document duplication.
◆ Where it's heading
Two lines run in parallel: cutting the steps from analysis to deliverable (Slides export, API duplication) and giving Chat more authority over the document. The model picker adds a cost dimension to that assistant work, since users now trade speed and accuracy against package consumption.
◆ Prediction
Displayr says detailed pricing information is coming, so published per-model rates or package changes are the most likely next step for Chat.
ManageEngine ADManager Plus
2.5ANALYTICS
ADManager Plus Build 8050 adds blast-radius maps and ML-driven access reviews.
◆ Current state
After a 2026 of mostly fix builds, ManageEngine ADManager Plus Build 8050 (9 November) is a feature release. It adds an Impact Radius view showing which objects a compromised privileged account could reach, adaptive access reviews that trigger certification when risky access is detected and suggest approve or revoke, WCAG accessibility controls, attribute dependencies in templates, and wider Entra ID and Azure app role backups.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from Active Directory provisioning toward identity risk and governance: January's Marketplace Extensions brought third-party app identities in, and Build 8050 adds risk mapping and continuous access certification on top. Backups are widening to cover more of the Microsoft cloud configuration.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next builds to return to fixes for these new modules, then extend Risk Exposure Management and access reviews to more Microsoft 365 and Entra ID objects.
