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. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

What is Matomo?

Matomo bets on AI-traffic measurement as its differentiator while modernizing the UI for upmarket buyers.

Matomo is on a near-monthly minor-release cadence threading three concurrent themes: AI-traffic instrumentation, visual modernization (dark mode and theme refresh in 5.10.0), and privacy-compliance shortcuts aimed at EU operators. Patch releases land between minors with security and archiving fixes, and the team still ships occasional Matomo 4 backports for legacy customers.

ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs Matomo: editorial side-by-side

M2.5

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. Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

◆ 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 and operational integrations. The dependence on Microsoft's own PowerShell modules is the cost of that coverage, and 6322 shows where it bites — a stale module on the customer's side takes the product down mid-enumeration. Feature builds and pure-fix builds alternate at roughly a two-month cadence, so a single-issue build reads as a gap between feature cycles rather than a slowdown.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued expansion of Entra ID and cloud-native backup coverage and more storage-target options, with security patches folded into each build; the next build carrying a Features section is due on the cadence this feed has held.

2.5

Matomo bets on AI-traffic measurement as its differentiator while modernizing the UI for upmarket buyers.

◆ Current state

Matomo is on a near-monthly minor-release cadence threading three concurrent themes: AI-traffic instrumentation, visual modernization (dark mode and theme refresh in 5.10.0), and privacy-compliance shortcuts aimed at EU operators. Patch releases land between minors with security and archiving fixes, and the team still ships occasional Matomo 4 backports for legacy customers.

◆ Where it's heading

After introducing AI-agent detection in 5.6.0 and dedicated AI chatbot traffic reports in 5.8.0, Matomo is positioning itself as the analytics tool that explicitly accounts for non-human traffic — a stance neither GA4 nor Plausible has taken head-on. The 5.9.0 one-click CNIL preset and 5.10.0 UI overhaul read as moves to broaden the buyer pool beyond technical self-hosters.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper AI-traffic features — segmentation, attribution, and per-agent breakdowns — plus the one-click compliance pattern extended from CNIL to other regulators.
