What is ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus?
Exchange Reporter Plus is in security-and-compatibility mode, chasing Microsoft's cmdlet deprecations and closing XSS reports.
Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.

What is ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus?
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.

ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus vs ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus: editorial side-by-side
ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus
0.0ANALYTICS
Exchange Reporter Plus is in security-and-compatibility mode, chasing Microsoft's cmdlet deprecations and closing XSS reports.
◆ Current state
Exchange Reporter Plus is running a maintenance-first release cycle dominated by two forces: a steady stream of bug-bounty-reported security fixes (stored XSS, path traversal, ReDoS) and the need to keep pace with Microsoft's Exchange Online changes. Feature work is sparse and mostly plumbing — cmdlet migrations, JRE updates, and a shift away from dedicated service accounts toward Entra app registration.
◆ Where it's heading
The product's near-term direction is defined less by new capability than by keeping reporting intact as Microsoft deprecates the cmdlets it depends on (Get-Message, Search-AdminAuditLog) and tightens tenant access. The one clearly forward-looking thread is authentication modernization — moving Exchange Online configuration to Entra app registration and removing the MFA-disable requirement — which improves security posture without expanding the reporting surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect the security-fix cadence to continue and further Microsoft-driven cmdlet and auth migrations as Exchange Online evolves, with feature additions remaining incremental.
ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus
0.0ANALYTICS
RecoveryManager Plus keeps widening its backup coverage across the Microsoft identity estate.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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 (S3, region-specific Azure) and operational integrations (SIEM). Security hardening rides along with each cycle. This is a product actively growing its capability surface, not just maintaining it.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build.
