Tidal by Redwood Reviews

Tidal Automation is a better tool than Redwood for enterprise-level applications. It is a stable tool and easier to integrate with any product.

We have a lot of custom-made applications within and outside our company. The product helps us connect with all of the applications in a better way than Redwood. It has in-built plugins enabling easy synchronization.

Tidal Automation’s most valuable feature is customization. It can work and connect with any app.

The product’s UI is outdated. They should work on this particular area. There could be better accessibility for the iPhone and other software similar to Redwood.

We have been using Tidal Automation for five or six years.

I rate the product’s stability a seven out of ten.

We have to make minimal efforts to scale Tidal Automation. Its scalability is an eight or nine out of ten.

The technical support services are good, but they should respond faster.

Neutral

The initial setup process is straightforward. 

The product generates a return on investment.

The price is reasonable in terms of the product’s functionality.

I rate Tidal Automation an eight out of ten. It is a very good container if you are looking for a single enterprise-level scheduler to control the entire operation.

I am a part of the sales operations team which deals with the pricing of products, getting the pricing set-up up in the system, collecting sales data from sales teams from various geographies, converting the files to a consumable format of Excel, getting the data uploaded on to the database, connect the database to reporting and data visualization tools like Power BI which helps us build reports, dashboards, and analyze business trends.

All of these tasks include a lot of manual processes that take a lot of time and effort.

The data needs to be uploaded to the database every time new data comes in. It could be a single line item or a thousand line item, data upload needs to be done manually and the DB job needs to run later we refresh reports and dashboards so that the new data gets populated. And all the necessary changes are made to the reports before they are published to services.

This is just a part of the daily routine and just this itself includes a lot of manual intervention. Tidal Automation has made it so simple by using time-driven and event-driven job scheduling and management. A significant amount of time and manual effort is now saved without compromising on the quality of the outcome.

Workload Automation has become simplified by Tidal Automation.

Tidal Automation is very efficient and can quickly automate most manual and repetitive tasks. It helps you save a lot of time and provides highly accurate output with minimal or no scope for error. The software has capabilities of handling errors and detecting failures which is a great feature and an added advantage to its users. Tidal Automation has abilities to manage and monitor jobs across various platforms and it is easy to integrate with other applications and services.

The initial set-up of the Tidal Automation is a bit complex and time-consuming; this can be eliminated by fastening the set-up process by reducing the number of steps involved.

The software can be made more user-friendly by producing effective training modules for new users and beginners.

The tool downtime can be reduced.

Understanding and using Tidal Automation could be overwhelming for someone with minimal programming language.

The above are minor challenges I can across, the product is cool and provides great services, and have not observed any major issues.

I've used the solution for less than a year.

The product is highly stable and will remain stable in the long run.

I find the software very useful and solved most of the problems on my team. I believe Tidal will be a great competition to other automation software out there.

My experience with customer service and support is great.

Positive

There were no automation tools used before.

The initial setup is a bit complex.

The initial setup was done in-house.

In terms of ROI, we have witnessed an:

• Increase in Productivity by ~28%
• Increase in Accuracy by ~8%

Tidal Automation licensing comes at affordable pricing and it is worth the features offered.

Microsoft SharePoint and Azure were also evaluated.

It's a great workload automation software that will simplify a lot of manual tasks.

Our business frequently handles large volumes of financial transactions that must be handled accurately and quickly. Automating financial procedures like billing, invoicing, and payment processing with Tidal Automation can help cut down on errors and enhance productivity.

Additionally, Tidal Automation aids us in automating IT operations chores like software updates, server upkeep, and security patching. This can decrease downtime, boost system dependability, and enhance IT efficiency as a whole.

By automating tasks and facilitating the quick implementation of new processes, Tidal Automation is assisting our organization in adapting to changing market conditions, customer requirements, and other factors.

By lowering the possibility of errors and the costs that go along with them, this product can produce outcomes that are more accurate and consistent.

It enables us to concentrate on tasks that are more valuable, like procedure improvements, innovation, and customer service. As a result, workers may be more productive because they can accomplish greater tasks in quicker amounts of time.

Tidal Automation has personalized showcases that provide real-time insights into job execution, resource utilization, and other metrics. This feature can help users monitor and optimize their operations more effectively.

Additionally, it provides compliance and audibility features that let us keep track of and manage all actions done, as well as monitor and restrict access to private data. This might improve data protection and ensure that all legal criteria are met.

The best feature is that it allows task scheduling based on particular occurrences, like the receipt of files, database updates, or system notifications. This can ensure tasks are finished as required and in reaction to particular circumstances.

To better fit their unique needs, the solution should give more customization options. More options for personalization could make it simpler for users to modify the service to fit their particular processes and increase overall efficacy.

It should be capable of handling even more work and more difficult processes, which is beneficial in big organizations.

Overall, Tidal Automation is a strong tool for automating processes. However, there are ways to make the service better in areas like the ones on the list above.

I've been using the Tidal Automation tool for five months now, and it's been a fantastic tool for automating our work tasks and allowing us to complete more tasks in less time. It increases productivity and reduces the need for manual intervention.

We use it in our production environment. We use it to schedule and execute many jobs. It is used by multiple application teams within our organization, such as SQL, Unix, ETL platform, MFT, and our AWS team. Other application teams include front office, back office, and accounting. They all use the Tidal environment.

We use Tidal to connect to other resources and systems through many of its adapters, such as for S3, ServiceNow, and PeopleSoft. We use it to trigger jobs in those applications. The REST API is very easy. Our application users use it to create, rerun, or cancel their jobs. And if they want to update something in the database, they do it with the REST API. It's a good feature.

That direct integration to our applications means we don't need to do other integrations from other applications or create scripts for these integrations. The multiple adapters available for connecting to other software make it easy for users to use the solution.

With other tools, you do not have the ability to schedule jobs on their own. You need to create a group and then assign everything to that group. Only then will the job be able to execute. In Tidal, you can schedule a single job and there is no need to create a group. That's what I like the most.

There are other helpful features as well, like SLA monitoring and the data book so you don't need to maintain other documents.

We also use the Graphical Views feature because our end-users want to see how their jobs are being executed and to monitor flows. They want to see how a job flow is going or where it stopped.

The drill-down into details using the Graphical Views feature is a bit difficult and not that helpful. If you want to go into the details, you have to go to the Job Activity. Graphical Views is not that easy for getting that kind of information.

Also, the user interface could be much better. It's an old-looking UI. Tidal could be much more user-friendly and attractive. I think they are working on that.

Another change I would like to see is that when we face issues or bugs in Tidal, we don't get to the root cause. We are told by Tidal, "Just apply this fix pack and it will resolve the issue." But we need to know the root cause. What has caused that issue? That scenario can be improved and Tidal has to work on it. They should provide us with some root cause analysis about every issue because we have to provide the root cause to our organization. Without the root cause, it is difficult for us to identify the problem.

I started working with Tidal, as an administrator, in April, so I have been using it for six to seven months.

In our non-product environment, it is not as stable for us as it is in our production environment. I'm not sure why it is like that.

It is scalable. It has many features that other tools do not provide. It is very convenient to use and we can scale it up.

Tidal has been widely promoted in our company and we are getting multiple requests to onboard teams into Tidal. They are exploring it and giving us feedback. We pass the feedback to Tidal and then they provide us with enhancements. Our job counts are increasing, day by day.

We have 500 to 600 people using Tidal in our environment.

Technical support is good except for the root-cause issue I mentioned. But they are always willing to help. When we ask them to join a bridge, they usually join it and they try to support us. They have good product knowledge and help us troubleshoot things on the calls.

Neutral

We have two deployment models, making it a hybrid, because we have Tidal on-prem and Tidal for cloud as well. They are two different tools, but they are linked to each other. The cloud environment is based in different regions including US East and US West. We have Tidal in both.

The deployment was straightforward. It was not that difficult because we installed it in a Windows environment. It took three to four months because there was a process we needed to follow. We had a team of eight people involved.

There is some maintenance needed. Sometimes, we face issues with the Client Managers, which is the UI console for Tidal. We need to clear the cache monthly so that we do not face issues.

Our organization has been using Tidal for the past 10 to 15 years. That means it's a valuable tool.

It's cost-effective because it is available at a low cost. That saves us a lot of money compared to other tools.

I have worked with IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler previously and Tidal has many more features. Tidal is a low-cost tool and not expensive in comparison to other tools.

The ease of use of Tidal for automating is moderate, if you have the proper knowledge and training on how to schedule a job. A new person will need some training on how to get a job scheduled in Tidal.

They have multiple new features coming up in the future. They are going to come up with repositories, for example. If you are going to use Tidal, I would recommend going through their documentation in-depth and only then start using it, so that you are aware of everything. When I joined, I was not experienced with Tidal, so I had to go through the documentation, and then I started working with our live production.

It has great monitoring and managing features that track and respond to dependencies. Errors are identified and notified by the error handling functionality. It fixes the issues automatically, and error downtime is reduced - minimizing the failures.

Initially, it is complicated to understand the functionalities as there is limited product documentation. The setup and configuration of the software is a bit complicated. Providing the training videos for all the modules would be appreciated and It helps to gain more knowledge and understanding of the product. 

Support and assistance of the software should actively provide more service to end users. 

While performing the integration with other third-party systems, we experienced a lag and found it to be slow in performance
