# 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.
