What is ManageEngine M365 Manager Plus?

Steady administrative depth for M365, punctuated by a run of serious security fixes.

M365 Manager Plus handles reporting, management, and automation for Microsoft 365 tenants from an on-premises install, shipping numbered builds that share a train with its sibling M365 Security Plus — the two carry overlapping notes at the same build numbers. Recent builds mix genuine administrative additions with security work: shared, guest, and resource mailboxes now count as free across all modules, group memberships can be assigned from template rules, and mailbox management actions became available inside automation policies. Builds 4817 and 4818 fixed a predictable-SSO-ticket CVE, a privilege escalation in delegated technician administration, and remote code execution via PowerShell embedded in CSV input.

What is Klipfolio?

Dashboard analytics in slow maintenance, with admin controls the only moving part

The recent record is thin and heavily duplicated — each change appears two or three times, once with a mangled title carrying the body text. What actually shipped: a custom-role permission letting admins delegate viewer management, MFA device memory with an admin-enforced requirement, and API key access. The newest item is dated March.

ManageEngine M365 Manager Plus vs Klipfolio: editorial side-by-side

M5.0

Steady administrative depth for M365, punctuated by a run of serious security fixes.

◆ Current state

M365 Manager Plus handles reporting, management, and automation for Microsoft 365 tenants from an on-premises install, shipping numbered builds that share a train with its sibling M365 Security Plus — the two carry overlapping notes at the same build numbers. Recent builds mix genuine administrative additions with security work: shared, guest, and resource mailboxes now count as free across all modules, group memberships can be assigned from template rules, and mailbox management actions became available inside automation policies. Builds 4817 and 4818 fixed a predictable-SSO-ticket CVE, a privilege escalation in delegated technician administration, and remote code execution via PowerShell embedded in CSV input.

◆ Where it's heading

The product's direction is administrative depth rather than new surface — more reports, more attributes exposed to bulk operations, more management tasks reachable from automation policies rather than clicked one at a time. That is the right axis for the buyer, who is a tenant administrator doing the same operation across thousands of objects. Running underneath it is a security-hardening pass that has surfaced three distinct classes of flaw in two builds, all of them in the delegation and integration machinery that lets one console administer a whole estate.

◆ Prediction

Automation policies have absorbed mailbox tasks and template rules now drive group membership, so the next candidates are the remaining manual bulk operations — license assignment and user lifecycle actions are the ones the reports keep pointing at.

Dashboard analytics in slow maintenance, with admin controls the only moving part

◆ Current state

The recent record is thin and heavily duplicated — each change appears two or three times, once with a mangled title carrying the body text. What actually shipped: a custom-role permission letting admins delegate viewer management, MFA device memory with an admin-enforced requirement, and API key access. The newest item is dated March.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is concentrated on account administration rather than the analytics surface. Delegating viewer management and enforcing MFA are the concerns of a product whose growth comes from agencies and self-managed client accounts, where the buyer administers many downstream users. No dashboard, data-source or visualization work appears in the window at all.

◆ Prediction

The entries show four months without a release and no product-surface work, so there is nothing here to support a confident prediction about what ships next.
