What is AgencyAnalytics?

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.

The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.

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.

AgencyAnalytics vs ManageEngine ADManager Plus: editorial side-by-side

A6.3

AgencyAI got skills three weeks ago; everything since has been making them routine.

◆ Current state

The cadence is weekly and heavily weighted toward AgencyAI. Skills landed in early August as named, runnable agency tasks; scheduling followed, so those tasks now run on their own. Around the assistant, the reporting surface keeps widening: advanced filtering on custom metrics and KPIs, client tags, a report shares view, and a MailerLite data source that brings email campaign metrics alongside every other channel.

◆ Where it's heading

The assistant is being moved from something an operator invokes to something that runs on a schedule against connected client data, which changes it from a feature into part of the reporting pipeline. The integration work continues at its usual pace and serves the same end — the more channels are connected, the more a scheduled skill has to reason over. Filtering and tagging are the plumbing that lets those tasks be scoped to the right accounts.

◆ Prediction

Expect scheduled skills to gain delivery — results pushed into reports or sent to clients — rather than staying inside the assistant panel.

M2.5

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.
