## What it is
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
