Krugle Basic

Krugle Basic is a version of Krugle Enterprise intended for small teams and pilot evaluation deployments of Krugle. Krugle Basic operates in exactly the same manner as Krugle Enterprise, but is limited by:

which information can be included in the searchable index
the amount of information that can be stored in the system
advanced features such as access control and reporting
