In their own words
CloudQuery
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.
OCS Inventory NG
OCS Inventory NG is open-source asset management software that scans and inventories devices and supports software deployment. Agents gather information from client computers, while a management server collects results for a web administration console. IP discovery and SNMP scans can identify network hardware, including devices without an OCS agent. Administrators can upload packages for agents to retrieve over HTTP or HTTPS, then view deployment status and statistics.
A REST API web service supports integrations with ITSM-NG, GLPI, CMDBuild and iTop. Plugins can extend data collection, server storage, administration display and task control. CVE Search compares fleet inventory with the CVE-Miter register to identify machines exposed to software vulnerabilities. The free package includes community support, plugins and unlimited agents. OCS Cloud costs €250 a month and includes SaaS hosting, support and updates. OCS Pro for up to 10,000 agents is listed at 0.9 € per agent plus 2500 € per year; larger deployments have custom pricing.
