What is Drivetrain?
Drivetrain is sharpening its FP&A table workspace with no major directional moves.
Drivetrain's recent cadence is concentrated almost entirely on the table-building experience used by FP&A teams: export fidelity to Excel, conditional formatting, preset actuals columns, and transformation reordering. Most releases are paired duplicates from different feed sources rather than separate launches. There has been no public release activity since mid-September 2025.
What is Zluri?
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.

Drivetrain
0.0FINANCE
Drivetrain is sharpening its FP&A table workspace with no major directional moves.
◆ Current state
Drivetrain's recent cadence is concentrated almost entirely on the table-building experience used by FP&A teams: export fidelity to Excel, conditional formatting, preset actuals columns, and transformation reordering. Most releases are paired duplicates from different feed sources rather than separate launches. There has been no public release activity since mid-September 2025.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is hardening as a spreadsheet-fluent reporting surface rather than expanding into new domains. Each release reduces friction for analysts who previously had to drop into Excel to finish the job — preserved formatting on export, gradient cells, and ordered transformations all point in that direction. The lull since September raises questions about whether a larger release is being assembled.
◆ Prediction
Expect either a delayed bigger release on planning, scenarios, or AI-assisted modeling, or a return to the same incremental table polish. If silence continues into Q2 2026, that itself is a signal that resourcing has shifted.
Zluri
7.5FINANCE
Zluri is turning SaaS management into identity governance, and Segregation of Duties is the pivot.
◆ Current state
Zluri now covers discovery, access requests, access reviews and Segregation of Duties enforcement in one product. September releases spread SoD conflict signals into both access requests and certifications, and they gave approvers more control over who decides. The latest release closes a data-trust gap: JDBC, on-prem AD, CSV and SDK sources now show when they last refreshed.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from SaaS discovery and spend toward the IGA territory of policy, certification, and remediation. Each release either adds a governance control or makes the underlying identity data more trustworthy. The Workflows v2 canvas, SoD detection and source prioritization all support automated, auditable access decisions.
◆ Prediction
SoD and Workflows v2 are likely to move from early access and beta to general availability. Expect deeper links between them, such as SoD violations triggering canvas playbooks directly.
