What is Keboola?

Keboola adds dark mode while it tightens the MCP server and retires idle workspaces.

Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. On the user side, data apps start faster on pre-built images, Kai gained shared team memory, and the UI now has dark mode.

What is ManageEngine M365 Manager Plus?

Steady administrative depth for M365, punctuated by a run of serious security fixes.

M365 Manager Plus handles reporting, management, and automation for Microsoft 365 tenants from an on-premises install, shipping numbered builds that share a train with its sibling M365 Security Plus — the two carry overlapping notes at the same build numbers. Recent builds mix genuine administrative additions with security work: shared, guest, and resource mailboxes now count as free across all modules, group memberships can be assigned from template rules, and mailbox management actions became available inside automation policies. Builds 4817 and 4818 fixed a predictable-SSO-ticket CVE, a privilege escalation in delegated technician administration, and remote code execution via PowerShell embedded in CSV input.

Keboola
ANALYTICS
5.0

Keboola adds dark mode while it tightens the MCP server and retires idle workspaces.

◆ Current state

Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. On the user side, data apps start faster on pre-built images, Kai gained shared team memory, and the UI now has dark mode.

◆ Where it's heading

The platform is limiting what agents and stale resources can do while making its AI assistant and apps quicker to use. The pattern is deliberate cleanup ahead of wider agent usage, not new surface area.

◆ Prediction

Expect more guardrails around the MCP server and Kai, such as tighter scopes or approvals, alongside further deprecation notices with fixed dates.

M5.0

Steady administrative depth for M365, punctuated by a run of serious security fixes.

◆ Current state

M365 Manager Plus handles reporting, management, and automation for Microsoft 365 tenants from an on-premises install, shipping numbered builds that share a train with its sibling M365 Security Plus — the two carry overlapping notes at the same build numbers. Recent builds mix genuine administrative additions with security work: shared, guest, and resource mailboxes now count as free across all modules, group memberships can be assigned from template rules, and mailbox management actions became available inside automation policies. Builds 4817 and 4818 fixed a predictable-SSO-ticket CVE, a privilege escalation in delegated technician administration, and remote code execution via PowerShell embedded in CSV input.

◆ Where it's heading

The product's direction is administrative depth rather than new surface — more reports, more attributes exposed to bulk operations, more management tasks reachable from automation policies rather than clicked one at a time. That is the right axis for the buyer, who is a tenant administrator doing the same operation across thousands of objects. Running underneath it is a security-hardening pass that has surfaced three distinct classes of flaw in two builds, all of them in the delegation and integration machinery that lets one console administer a whole estate.

◆ Prediction

Automation policies have absorbed mailbox tasks and template rules now drive group membership, so the next candidates are the remaining manual bulk operations — license assignment and user lifecycle actions are the ones the reports keep pointing at.
