Compared to the paid solutions and open source options available today, Fleetsmith has been a breath of fresh air for our IT team. Super easy to configure, the flexibility of a cloud-based tool, and a security-focused backend. It was very obvious from the get-go that Fleetsmith was designed by folks who understand the day-to-day challenges of managing devices, from startup to enterprise.

The team of founders previously worked in IT and security at Wikia and Dropbox, and weren’t satisfied with current Mac management options. They said that open source options were too much effort for small IT departments, and commercial products … were either too time-consuming to set up on-premises, or had cloud-based offerings that weren’t secure enough. They also wanted to avoid lengthy enterprise sales processes.

We chose Fleetsmith because it's more than just a computer management tool for IT—it adds value to the entire business. With all employees on a uniform, up-to-date computing environment, they're able to be more productive. For IT, that also means additional strategic bandwidth.

Fleetsmith is meant to be easy for pretty much anyone to manage. Even getting on board is easy. Thanks to an integration with Google’s G Suite through Fleetsmith’s web app, signing in takes just one click. Once end users and their devices have been added and a native Mac app has been installed, admins can deploy applications and force app and operating system updates for everyone or just for certain groups of employees.

Fleetsmith allows me to easily secure and manage my company's Macs. Securing employee computers is critically important as attackers increasingly target them, and choosing not to is a grave mistake no company should make.

Fleetsmith allows us to easily enforce disk encryption and other critical security settings so we can meet our compliance obligations. It also saves my team the precious hours they would’ve spent manually provisioning and tracking laptops. Most importantly, Fleetsmith isn’t your traditional hard-to-use enterprise software—the UI is intuitive and best practices are built in.

As a fast-growing startup, we needed a scalable, best-in-class device management solution that could be implemented with no additional headcount. Fleetsmith met and exceeded our needs.
