Fleet is an open-source device management (MDM) and security platform for IT and security teams, built on osquery. It provides cross-OS device management, patching, software deployment, vulnerability management, and telemetry via GitOps, REST API, webhooks, and the fleetctl CLI.

Use cases

  • manage macbooks with open source mdm
  • enforce os updates and patch software across windows and macos
  • collect osquery telemetry from thousands of endpoints
  • track cis benchmark compliance on laptops
  • deploy software to employee devices automatically
  • manage ios and android devices via gitops yaml
  • run vulnerability management on my fleet of computers
  • self-host an alternative to jamf

When to choose

  • you need multi-OS MDM (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) from one platform
  • you want infrastructure-as-code / GitOps-driven device management with a REST API
  • you need osquery-based visibility, CIS benchmarks, and vulnerability reporting at scale
  • you want an open-source, self-hostable alternative to Jamf or Intune

When to avoid

  • you only need simple agent-based monitoring without device management
  • you require fully-managed hosting for a small fleet (managed cloud is limited to large deployments)
  • you need deep support for platforms outside Fleet's supported OS list
