| # Why Fleet | ||
|
|
||
| ## What's it for? | ||
|
|
||
| In an industry that views security and IT as a shopping spree rather than a process, it's little wonder that IT and security teams get stuck with bolt-on solutions, misconfigured tools, and disparate workflows. | ||
|
|
||
| Fleet helps organizations like Fastly and Gusto reimagine the "easy button." | ||
|
|
||
| By simplifying how they do device health, FIM, HIDS, posture assessment, malware detection, vulnerability management, MDM, and the rest, Fleet's API enables teams with thousands of computers to build an IT and security program that works. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Explore data | ||
| To see what kind of data you can use Fleet to gather, you can check out the [table reference documentation](https://fleetdm.com/tables). | ||
|
|
||
| ### Out-of-the-box policies | ||
| Fleet includes out-of-the-box support for all [CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows](https://fleetdm.com/pricing), as well as many [simpler queries](https://fleetdm.com/queries). | ||
|
|
||
| Take as much or as little as you need for your organization. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Supported platforms | ||
| Here are the platforms Fleet currently supports: | ||
| Fleet is an open-source device management platform for Linux, macOS, Windows, Chromebooks, and iOS devices (BYOD or corporate owned.) | ||
|
|
||
| - Linux (all distros) | ||
| - macOS | ||
| - Windows | ||
| - Chromebooks | ||
| - Amazon Web Services (AWS) | ||
| - Google Cloud (GCP) | ||
| - Azure (Microsoft cloud) | ||
| - Data centers | ||
| - Containers (kube, etc) | ||
| - Linux-based IoT devices | ||
|
|
||
| ## Lighter than air | ||
| Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for security without using it for MDM, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Open by design | ||
| Fleet is dedicated to flexibility, accessibility, and clarity. We think [everyone can contribute](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#openness) and that tools should be as easy as possible for everyone to understand. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Good neighbors | ||
| Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly [integrations](https://fleetdm.com/integrations) exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. | ||
|
|
||
| Fleet plays well with Munki, Chef, Puppet, and Ansible, as well as with security tools like Crowdstrike and SentinelOne. For example, you can use the free version of Fleet to quickly report on what hosts are _actually_ running your EDR agent. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| ### Free as in free | ||
| The free version of Fleet will [always be free](https://fleetdm.com/pricing). Fleet is [independently backed](https://linkedin.com/company/fleetdm) and actively maintained with the help of many amazing [contributors](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/graphs/contributors). | ||
| ## What's it for? | ||
|
|
||
| ### Longevity | ||
| The [company behind Fleet](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company) is founded (and majority-owned) by [true believers in open source](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company/why-this-way#why-open-source). The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time. | ||
| Managing computers today is getting harder. You have to juggle a mix of operating systems and devices, with a whole bunch of middleman vendors in between. | ||
|
|
||
| In keeping with Fleet's value of openness, [Fleet Device Management's company handbook](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company) is public and open source. You can read about the [history of Fleet and osquery](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#history) and our commitment to improving the product. | ||
| Fleet makes things easier by giving you a single system to manage and secure all your computing devices. You can do MDM, patch stuff, and verify anything—all from one dashboard. It's like having a universal remote control for all your organization's computers. | ||
|
|
||
| <!-- > To upgrade from Fleet ≤3.2.0, follow the upgrading steps for the earliest subsequent major release from this repository (it'll work out of the box until the release of Fleet 5.0). --> | ||
| Fleet is open source, and free features will always be free. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Is it any good? | ||
| Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams with thousands of laptops and servers. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage deployments as large as 400,000+ hosts. | ||

| - **Get what you need:** Fleet lets you work directly with [data](https://fleetdm.com/integrations) and events from the native operating system. It lets you go all the way down to the bare metal. It’s also modular. (You can turn off features you are not using.) | ||
| - **Out of the box:** Ready-to-use integrations exist for the [most common tools](https://fleetdm.com/integrations). You can also build custom workflows with the REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command line tool. Or go all in and manage computers [with GitOps](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#history). | ||
| - **Good neighbors:** We think tools should be as easy as possible for everyone to understand. We helped [create osquery](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#history), and we are committed to improving it. | ||
