Paglo, which bills itself as “a search engine for IT,” offers inventory and network management, software auditing, remote monitoring, and alerts. Here’s what AppScout had to say about Paglo:

At its heart, Paglo is a search utility, and through the types of information you can obtain through targeted searches, IT staff can greatly minimize the time required to research and obtain information about their existing systems in order to diagnose issues, track changes, or proactively find problems.

How does it work? In a nutshell, the system administrator downloads and installs the Paglo “crawler” program, which peruses the company network and collects information about installed hardware, software, etc. The admin can then view the results in a simple dashboard and run searches.

Most amazing of all, Paglo is free (at least for now — it’s currently in the public beta stage). It’s definitely worth a look for anyone who needs IT-infrastructure management on the cheap.

Got a tech dilemma? We're here to help.
