Integrating the products together is something we are moving twords. It is in our plans for future product upgrades.
lets start with one problem first, then move on to the others.
Lets look at using security assist together with Universal Email. You say adding universal email breaks the data assist update. SI would need to look at the code to be sure, but one thing to check first of is the order of the server behaviors and check that only the last server behavior in the list has a redirect applied to it.
If the email code is before the DataAssist code, and the email code is set to redirect after sending the email, the redirect will occur before the update can.
If you cannot spot the problem, send us a copy of the page so we can take a look.
