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?
Its 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 dont notice its there — and we have *extremely* technical end users. This differs from other tools like our EDR solution which can occasionally cause performance issues. Its a very lightweight tool.
### How are you dealing with alert fatigue and false positives from your SIEM?
We actually dont use a SIEM for this reason. We rely on alerts and signals from individual tools that have high fidelity.
