ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs themis
A side-by-side editorial comparison of ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus and themis — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus vs themis: at a glance
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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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 themis?
themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.
themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.

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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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.
themis
2.5ANALYTICS
themis is back to adding real resampling algorithms after a documentation-heavy stretch.
◆ Current state
themis supplies recipes steps for handling class imbalance in tidymodels. The 1.0.x line was consumed by documentation accuracy, message translation and internal consistency work. Version 1.1.0 returns to substance with two new under-sampling methods.
◆ Where it's heading
The package grows by adding algorithms rather than restructuring itself. tomek() was rewritten to handle multiple classes and drop the unbalanced dependency, case weights arrived at 1.0.0, and cluster-centroid and condensed-nearest-neighbour under-sampling arrive now — each shipped as both a recipes step and a direct-implementation function.
◆ Prediction
Expect further under- and over-sampling methods in the same paired form, as the package fills out coverage of the standard class-imbalance literature.
