What is Umami?
Umami spent late 2025 patching Next.js CVEs, then shipped Boards and Session Replay in v3.1.0.
The window splits sharply. Four of six releases are December 2025 patches across the v2 and v3 lines, all responding to the same Next.js and React security advisories plus Docker build breakage — several shipped within days of each other because the first fix updated Next.js without the affected React versions. Then v3.1.0 in April 2026 delivered custom dashboards as Boards, Session Replay, Web Vitals performance tracking, a redesigned share page, and a large batch of fixes.
What is ManageEngine ADManager Plus?
ADManager Plus opened to third-party identity apps in January, then shipped six months of fixes.
Six builds since late January, and five are almost entirely defect work: scheduled reports failing to send as email content, mobile app logins on iOS and Android, CPU spikes after upgrade, a broken Log360 SOAR integration, M365 automation-policy tasks failing, and a JRE bump to 11.86.19. The exceptions are Build 8036, which added Security group type to the M365 Modify Single Group action, and Build 8034, which introduced Marketplace Extensions so administrators can install third-party application extensions and manage identities in those applications from inside ADManager Plus.
Umami vs ManageEngine ADManager Plus: editorial side-by-side
Umami
0.0ANALYTICS
Umami spent late 2025 patching Next.js CVEs, then shipped Boards and Session Replay in v3.1.0.
◆ Current state
The window splits sharply. Four of six releases are December 2025 patches across the v2 and v3 lines, all responding to the same Next.js and React security advisories plus Docker build breakage — several shipped within days of each other because the first fix updated Next.js without the affected React versions. Then v3.1.0 in April 2026 delivered custom dashboards as Boards, Session Replay, Web Vitals performance tracking, a redesigned share page, and a large batch of fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The security cluster is a framework dependency showing its cost — an analytics tool inheriting its release schedule from Next.js advisories. v3.1.0 is where product work resumes, and its content is telling: Session Replay and Web Vitals move Umami past pageview counting into behaviour and performance, which is the territory occupied by heavier commercial analytics rather than the lightweight privacy-first tools it grew up alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to build on Boards and Session Replay rather than return to the counting core, since both are new surfaces that arrived with a single release and no follow-up yet.
ManageEngine ADManager Plus
2.5ANALYTICS
ADManager Plus opened to third-party identity apps in January, then shipped six months of fixes.
◆ Current state
Six builds since late January, and five are almost entirely defect work: scheduled reports failing to send as email content, mobile app logins on iOS and Android, CPU spikes after upgrade, a broken Log360 SOAR integration, M365 automation-policy tasks failing, and a JRE bump to 11.86.19. The exceptions are Build 8036, which added Security group type to the M365 Modify Single Group action, and Build 8034, which introduced Marketplace Extensions so administrators can install third-party application extensions and manage identities in those applications from inside ADManager Plus.
◆ Where it's heading
The extensibility move is the only structural change in the window, and nothing has built on it since. What follows is a maintenance train — roughly one build every six to eight weeks, carrying fix roll-ups and one security patch — which reads as a mature on-premises product prioritising stability for existing installs over new surface.
◆ Prediction
On this cadence the next build is most likely another fix roll-up. Whether Marketplace Extensions gets a second act is not answerable from these entries.
