OpenUEM

OpenUEM positions itself as a truly open-source alternative to commercial UEM/RMM solutions. Unlike proprietary platforms that charge per endpoint or per technician, OpenUEM is completely free with no seat limits, no endpoint caps, and no paid tiers.

Key differentiators:

• Security-first design — Mandatory mutual TLS between all components, certificate-based console login, on-demand VNC with one-time passwords
• Multi-platform agents — Windows, Linux (Debian/RedHat), and macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)
• Package management integration — Deploy software via Winget (Windows), Flatpak (Linux), and Homebrew (macOS)
• No cloud dependency — Fully self-hosted, your data stays on your infrastructure
• Identity Provider support — Authelia, Authentik, Keycloak, Zitadel integration

• Complete hardware and software inventory across all endpoints
• Remote assistance via VNC, RDP, and RustDesk integration
• Package deployment through Winget, Flatpak, and Homebrew
• Configuration profiles with automated tasks per OS
• Windows Update monitoring and Linux security update detection
• SFTP file browsing, upload, and download
• Wake-on-LAN and scheduled power management
• BitLocker encryption and antivirus status monitoring
• PDF and CSV report generation
• Multi-tenancy with multiple organizations and sites
• Certificate-based security with built-in Certificate Authority
• Dashboard with real-time component status

The UEM and RMM market is dominated by expensive, closed-source solutions that lock organizations into per-seat pricing models. For small IT teams, MSPs starting out, and organizations that need full control over their endpoint management infrastructure, commercial options are often prohibitively expensive or require trusting a third party with sensitive asset data.

OpenUEM fills this gap by providing a production-ready, self-hosted endpoint management platform with no licensing costs. The security-first approach — mandatory TLS, certificate-based authentication, no stored passwords — makes it suitable for environments where security compliance is critical.

For IT professionals evaluating endpoint management solutions, OpenUEM represents a compelling option: full source code access, active development, multi-platform support, and a growing feature set that already covers the core needs of endpoint inventory, remote access, software deployment, and configuration management.
