# DevOps platform company consolidates endpoint management with Fleet

A DevOps platform company helps teams build, secure, and deploy software at scale. Its internal environment includes macOS, Windows, and Linux systems used by a distributed engineering team.

Fleet helps the company manage these systems with more consistency and better visibility.

## At a glance

* **Industry:** DevOps and security software  
* **Devices managed:** Growing fleet of Linux, macOS, and Windows devices  
* **Primary requirements:** GitOps workflows, osquery visibility, multi-OS management  
* **Previous challenge:** Limited visibility across Linux and diverse device types

## The challenge

Before Fleet, the company struggled to manage a diverse set of devices.

Linux servers and ARM-based systems were difficult to monitor with existing tools. Windows device enrollment was also inconsistent, which created gaps in the company’s overall visibility.

The team needed a platform that could support multiple operating systems and scale as it grew.

## The evaluation criteria

The team focused on three priorities:

1. **GitOps workflows**  
    Manage configuration using its own development platform.  
2. **osquery integration**  
    Use detailed telemetry for compliance and auditing.  
3. **Multi-OS support**  
    Manage macOS, Windows, and Linux from one system.

## The solution

Fleet gave the team a single platform for device management and visibility.

The company uses Fleet to manage device posture policies and support self-service applications across operating systems. These workflows are now easier to maintain because they rely on a unified API instead of separate tools.

Fleet’s open-source model also aligns with the company’s engineering culture and security expectations.

## The results

Fleet improved consistency and reduced operational overhead.

* **Better cross-platform visibility:** Teams can monitor devices across operating systems from one place.  
* **Faster compliance response:** Real-time policy updates help address issues quickly.  
* **Simpler operations:** Consolidation reduces the need for multiple tools.

## Why they recommend Fleet

For this company, the biggest benefit was consolidation. Fleet provided a single, open platform that supported multi-OS device management with real-time visibility and automation.
