CloudQuery vs LOGINventory

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.

LOGINventory discovers and documents hardware, software, configurations, and permissions across IT networks. Its core discovery is agentless, using WMI/RPC, SNMP, or SSH; an Offline Agent can cover Windows, Linux, and macOS devices outside the local network. Coverage includes Windows, Linux/Unix, macOS, SNMP devices, hypervisors, Microsoft cloud services, AWS virtual machines, and Exchange. The maker says the product can capture up to 1,117 individual values per Windows device by default. The Inventory Edition covers network inventory; the SAM Edition adds license management, software usage measurement, target-versus-actual comparisons, and compliance reports. It runs on the customer's infrastructure and stores inventory data in a local SQL database; the maker says inventory data is not transmitted to it. The optional LIA assistant sends requests through Azure OpenAI with automatic anonymization and can be disabled. The server requires Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016–2025 (x64) and SQL Server 2012 SP4 or later. Pricing includes a free plan, Inventory360 at €6.50 per year, and a 30-day trial; listed prices exclude VAT.
