ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus Cloud
The cloud edition's only real news is Slack, restated twice in four days.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and Infobip — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Three release branches running in lockstep to backport one tenancy-isolation sweep
Formbricks maintains 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 simultaneously, publishing release candidates almost daily, and most entries are single-fix backports rather than feature drops. The dominant thread across all three branches is workspace and organization scoping: API keys, surveys, quotas, integrations, historical response imports, send_email recipients and the contact detail page have each been re-tied to the authorizing workspace. Feature work is concentrated in the 5.3 line.
A CPaaS rebuilding around AI agents that act, not just channels that deliver
Infobip publishes quarterly roll-ups, and the feed stores each quarter twice — once as a bare label, once as the summary paragraph. Across Q3 2025 to Q1 2026 the through-line is consistent: AgentOS unifying the communication stack, AI agents that take action rather than reply, MCP servers connecting models to real channels, and AI voice work under Vocalize, against continued WhatsApp, RCS and CDP investment.

Two things are being built at once. The security thread reads as a systematic multi-tenancy audit — the same class of bug found repeatedly and patched everywhere, with fixes backported to every supported branch rather than only forward. The product thread is an agent- and automation-facing surface: an MCP server gaining OAuth challenge parity, per-scope permissions like surveys:write, dry-run scopes and audit logging, alongside workflows becoming a metered billing dimension.
Expect 5.3.0 to reach a stable tag with the MCP scope model and metered workflow_runs pricing as its headline, while 5.1 and 5.2 continue receiving only security and billing backports.

The company is repositioning from delivering messages to running autonomous customer interactions on top of them. Channels are becoming the substrate; the product being sold is the agent layer above. MCP servers matter most here — they make Infobip's channel reach callable by models a customer already runs, rather than requiring Infobip's own agent builder.
Expect the next quarterly to lead with AgentOS depth — orchestration, handoff and measurement across agents — since the channel and MCP groundwork it needs has now shipped over three consecutive quarters.
