Six Tools Compete to Replace Excel Macros, None Covers All

Global – October 27, 2026 -- No single tool replaces an Excel macro end to end: six options (Power Query, Office Scripts, Power Automate, Python, RPA and Alteryx One) each cover a different slice of the work, according to a new comparison of automation approaches.

Power Query and Office Scripts cover data preparation and workbook tasks

Power Query suits macros that mainly import files and cleanse data, and it can reshape and aggregate data before loading it. It handles button clicks, workbook events and precise output formatting poorly.

CIQ ELM Checks Patch Conflicts Before Rollout to Linux Fleets

Global – October 12, 2026 -- CIQ Enterprise Linux Manager (ELM), the fleet lifecycle tool bundled with RLC Pro, runs a forward-only dependency check on draft content views so incompatible libraries surface before a patch reaches any production host.

CIQ frames the problem around operators who say the patch, not the CVE, took production down. An update can pull in an incompatible library or bump a version another component depends on. The conflict information exists before deployment, but teams often see it only after the change is live.

CIQ Bundles Enterprise Linux Manager Free With RLC Pro Subscriptions

Global – October 12, 2026 -- CIQ is providing its Enterprise Linux Manager (ELM) at no additional charge to all RLC Pro subscriptions, giving fleet operators control over when packages reach production hosts.

ELM mirrors upstream repositories onto customer-owned storage

The tool sits between package sources and the hosts that install them. It mirrors upstream repositories onto infrastructure the customer already operates, whether connected or not, so hosts pull from that mirror rather than repeatedly querying off-site lists.
