Paglo – The Search Engine for IT
Paglo is a free IT management system (Yes, I like Free things!) that allows you to collect data, manage, and maintain all IT devices, applications as well as users’ information all at a glance!
It is also integrated with an open source supersearcher agent that probes your network for devices and other IT assets, and discovers everything about them. This means you could search and compile your whole company’s IT information and display the results as charts, lists, or tables within few clicks.
Cool, isn’t it?
Why use Paglo?
When you have more devices, applications, and users to manage, the more headache you have. It’s not on support wise, but is on information management wise. If you work for medium or enterprise level company, I am sure you will agree with me.
For example, do you know how many devices are running Microsoft Office 2003 in your company ? Or, how many computers that need upgrade to 2GB RAM in order to support Windows Vista ?
With Paglo, let it become your IT wingman and work for you without extra budget :) They make your life simpler and easier.
How to use Paglo?
There are few simple steps to use Paglo:
- Sign up an Paglo account
- Download Paglo Crawler
- Run Paglo Crawler on any desktop computer or server within your network. It crawls your network and IT assets and gathers information, which it then securely uploads to your private Paglo Search Index in Paglo’s telco-grade datacenter.
- Login to Paglo Web Account and start generate your IT management reports.

My two cents
Huh… external auditor is coming for a full IT audit on next month. It really a big headache when come to software and hardware license audit :(
Do you think Paglo can help me to resolve the problem? I don’t think my company allow me to upload company’s data to external party, so I can’t evaluate how accurate is the Paglo seach engine here.
Most medium and enterprise company have policy to protect their company private and confidential data, including IT devices, softwares and users information too. So, if Paglo could provide an alternative “Offline” version instead of “Online” version, I think it would really help a lot!
