Spiceworks covers the Microsoft 365 outage from the help desk's side.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Formbricks and Ivanti — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Formbricks 6.2 candidate two fixes Helm installs and response filters before stable.
Formbricks' 6.0 cycle renamed Unify to Analyze and added MCP OAuth, and 6.1 added the v3 responses API. 6.2.0-rc.1 brought data retention policies and shared show-conditions; rc.2 on November 12 is mostly fixes: fresh Helm installs with bundled PostgreSQL, Valkey templates across upgrades, consistent multi-status response filters and a themed signature pad. It also exposes embedded-data keys in chart pickers and includes a Cube config change for custom database roles.
Ivanti's Secure Access Client ships weekly mobile point releases — 22.7.4 through 22.8.7 — with documentation as the only visible signal.
The visible Ivanti feed is dominated by weekly Supported Platforms Guides for the Ivanti Secure Access Client (formerly Pulse Secure) on iOS, Android, and ChromeOS, spanning versions 22.7.4 through 22.8.7. A cumulative Android release notes index for 22.2.1–22.8.6 and accompanying admin and MDM deployment guides confirm steady mobile-client cadence. The captured content is documentation landing pages, not detailed change descriptions.

Formbricks keeps building controls for larger self-hosted customers, retention rules and scoped APIs, while much of each candidate goes to its Helm and Compose packaging. The feed still shows release candidates rather than stable tags.
Expect one or two more 6.2 candidates of deployment fixes before a stable 6.2.0, likely within two weeks given the rc.1 to rc.2 gap.

With only documentation pages observable, product trajectory is hard to read concretely. The frequent point releases suggest active maintenance of the mobile security client; the historical Pulse Secure → Ivanti rebrand and the Classic UI / New-UI dual maintenance both indicate gradual consolidation rather than a fresh directional move.
Expect continued weekly point releases on 22.8.x and a likely transition to 22.9.x or a 23.x line later in 2026. Substantive product moves probably exist in detailed release notes the crawler isn't reaching — a different ingestion path (the per-version release notes endpoints, not the SPG landing pages) would surface more useful signal.
