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 Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.

Whatagraph is turning a report from a document you send into a place clients come back to.
Whatagraph has been working on the parts of agency reporting that break under volume rather than on new analysis capability. Stored data removes live API calls from render time, connection failover keeps widgets alive when one teammate's token expires, and the Basis rebuild traded live loading for stored data to fix slow widgets and mismatched spend figures. Alongside that runs a steady stream of presentation control — automatic conditional formatting, per-metric decimal places, chosen comparison colors, consolidated theme settings.

Build 6322 is the quietest of the run: a single fix for restarts triggered by an outdated ExchangeOnlineManagement PowerShell module during Microsoft 365 enumeration.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

The through-line is reliability and reader experience at agency scale, where one account runs hundreds or thousands of sources across several people. Report shortcuts extend that from inside a single report to the relationships between reports, letting a heavy report be split into a hub and supporting detail rather than one long scroll or five unlabeled links. Integration work continues to be additive and specific — Ahrefs Rank Tracker, WhatConverts, Snowflake, bol. — chosen to fill named reporting gaps rather than to broaden a catalog.
Expect the portal framing to get more structure — navigation, landing behavior or access controls on the entry-point report — since a hub built from a link widget will run into the limits of being just another report.
