Hi Could you anyone please share all Bigfix capabilities for POS devices?
I know Bigfix can patch POS, obviously. Is there anything else like SWD, BFI, Power management etc. Documentation is on POS is not so clear in IBM documentations.
Kind of urgent. Many thanks in advance.
Yes, I work for a nationally known retailer who has been comprehensively managing our POS environment for the past 12 years using Bigfix. We do everything from inventory, patching, and software distribution to security management, configuration management, and a fully automated custom server and register staging process.
We have used several other products in the past like SCCM, LANDesk, etc, but have had the best experience with Bigfix.
Hi JonL, Many thanks for your reply. Form your reply It seems POS is no different than a Windows workstation, is it?
I believe we can run Analysis to get details about POS peripherals as well?
Registers are a special case of PC or workstation featuring additional peripherals that a normal computer would not have. Yes, you can indeed create analyses for gather data about peripherals, POS configuration, and create alerts for error conditions. We have created dozens of them to inventory and alert us for many scenarios. They are tailored to our particular POS implementation.
