What is Countly?
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.
What is Usermaven?
Usermaven is rebuilding analytics around Maven AI agents that report without being asked.
Usermaven shipped Maven AI Agents in September, which run scheduled analyses and surface insights proactively, and now lets users save AI-generated charts to dashboards and share agent reports by public link. Over the summer it added an MCP server, a Salesforce integration with reverse ETL, and Event Sources for importing conversions from other tools.

Countly
5.0ANALYTICS
Countly 25.03.59 defaults to Node 26, supports MongoDB 9 and tightens app scoping.
◆ Current state
Countly 25.03.59 on November 13 is a large LTS patch. Clean installs and Docker images move to Node.js 26 and MongoDB 9.0, with older versions still working, and arm64 Docker images arrive. Security fixes tighten which apps a scoped token or member can reach across exports, dashboards, alerts and data tools, and wrong two-factor codes now count toward lockout.
◆ Where it's heading
Countly is still mostly hardening access control, carrying the token-scoping work from 25.03.58 into every plugin that reads or changes app data. At the same time it keeps the self-hosted stack on current runtimes.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 24.05 patch that backports these scoping fixes, as 24.05.55 did after 25.03.58.
Usermaven
2.5ANALYTICS
Usermaven is rebuilding analytics around Maven AI agents that report without being asked.
◆ Current state
Usermaven shipped Maven AI Agents in September, which run scheduled analyses and surface insights proactively, and now lets users save AI-generated charts to dashboards and share agent reports by public link. Over the summer it added an MCP server, a Salesforce integration with reverse ETL, and Event Sources for importing conversions from other tools.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from a web analytics dashboard to a data layer that AI agents query and act on, with data flowing in from CRMs and payment tools and back out to operational tools. Recent releases tie agent output back into the classic dashboard.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper agent actions, such as alerts or audience syncs triggered from agent findings, building on the agents and reverse ETL already shipped.
