CloudQuery vs EMCO Network Inventory

CloudQuery is an open-source context engine for cloud infrastructure that syncs data from more than 80 sources. It maps information from services such as AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and Okta into a normalized relational schema that users can query with standard SQL. Data can be sent to destinations including Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake, and S3. CloudQuery Platform supports more than 70 integrations and processes synced data into a built-in ClickHouse database for inventory, SQL Console, policies, and reports. An MCP server in PostgreSQL or Snowflake mode lets AI agents and internal systems query synced data without a Platform subscription. Sync definitions use version-controlled YAML, and SDKs in Go, Python, JavaScript, or Java can be used to build unsupported integrations. CloudQuery can run on infrastructure the user controls, keeping data within the network unless configured otherwise. Its Free plan costs nothing, billed Forever, with a 1M rows limitation. Pricing counts rows each time they are synced. The CLI is offered for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
