What is Firefly III?

Firefly III ships seven develop builds in six days, still with no changelog attached.

Firefly III's feed is all automated develop pre-releases: seven builds between Oct 21 and 26, three of them on Oct 24 alone. None of them carries a changelog. Some are boilerplate warnings, others a single bot line. There has been no stable release in the visible window, so users can't tell from the feed what is changing.

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.

Firefly III vs Zluri: editorial side-by-side

F5.0

Firefly III ships seven develop builds in six days, still with no changelog attached.

◆ Current state

Firefly III's feed is all automated develop pre-releases: seven builds between Oct 21 and 26, three of them on Oct 24 alone. None of them carries a changelog. Some are boilerplate warnings, others a single bot line. There has been no stable release in the visible window, so users can't tell from the feed what is changing.

◆ Where it's heading

The cadence points to active work toward a next stable release, but the project leaves the record in changelog.md rather than in releases. Until a tagged stable lands, the feed measures commit activity rather than shipped features.

◆ Prediction

What's unclear is when the next stable release lands; the entries give no version target or feature list to anchor a prediction.

7.5

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.
