# Fleet user stories ## Jason Walton — Director of information security @ Schrödinger ![Four speech bubbles and four stars emanating from the Fleet logo](../website/assets/images/articles/fleet-user-stories-schrodinger-cover-800x450@2x.png) Jason Walton gives us some insight into how his team uses Fleet and osquery at Schrödinger. ### How did you first get started using osquery? I became aware of osquery a number of years ago — maybe 2017 when a colleague mentioned it. I experimented with it locally, and it was very interesting, but I never invested much time until I discovered Fleet (then Kolide Fleet) I believe around 2018. ### Why are you using Fleet? It’s easy to deploy and use in combination with [Launcher](https://github.com/kolide/launcher). It provides me with a single source of truth about endpoints in my organization, and provides a separate “reporting plane” independent of tools used to configure or manage systems. Aggregating data across platforms is also extremely helpful. ### How do your end users feel about Fleet? Our end users don’t notice it’s there — and we have *extremely* technical end users. This differs from other tools like our EDR solution which can occasionally cause performance issues. It’s a very lightweight tool. ### How are you dealing with alert fatigue and false positives from your SIEM? We actually don’t use a SIEM for this reason. We rely on alerts and signals from individual tools that have high fidelity.
