What is Mixpanel?

Mixpanel is pushing analytics out of its own tab — into Postgres, Slack, and now Glean's assistant.

A dense April run covered three fronts: enterprise administration with Custom Roles and an organization-wide Audit Log, collaboration with threaded comments and a notification center, and data reach with the Postgres Connector reaching general availability. Alerts were reworked with evaluation windows, retroactive simulation, trigger history, and webhooks. The outlier is a Glean integration that exposes Mixpanel as an MCP app inside an enterprise AI assistant.

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.

Mixpanel is pushing analytics out of its own tab — into Postgres, Slack, and now Glean's assistant.

◆ Current state

A dense April run covered three fronts: enterprise administration with Custom Roles and an organization-wide Audit Log, collaboration with threaded comments and a notification center, and data reach with the Postgres Connector reaching general availability. Alerts were reworked with evaluation windows, retroactive simulation, trigger history, and webhooks. The outlier is a Glean integration that exposes Mixpanel as an MCP app inside an enterprise AI assistant.

◆ Where it's heading

Mixpanel is treating the query builder as a bottleneck rather than a product, and routing answers to where non-analysts already work. The Postgres Connector attacks the same problem from the other end, pulling transactional data in without ETL so fewer questions require a pipeline first. Custom Roles and the Audit Log are the enterprise prerequisites that make wider distribution sellable to security teams.

◆ Prediction

Expect more assistant-side distribution — additional MCP surfaces or chat clients querying Mixpanel directly — and further first-party connectors that skip the warehouse for common transactional sources.

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.
