Cons
  • User Interface
  • Modern Feel

  • Still a bit slow when navigating. If you close a job you have to wait a few seconds to open another one. Even when you made no changes.
  • When viewing a job and make no changes, the "ok" button changes the last modified date as if you made a change. No big deal, but wastes time when troubleshooting a problem and looking into what jobs were changed last.
  • You can see the parameters column in the "job activity", but not in "Job definitions".
  • Can't search the parameters field in the filter.
  • Changing a variable name does not change it on the job. It still works because Tidal Automation uses the ID number. It just causes confusion when you see a variable on a job and can't find the variable under "Variables". On top of that, Tidal Automation does not show the ID column under "Variables" making it even more difficult to find the variable.

We are on the fence. The increased pricing for renewals is staggering. With new automation options like Microsoft's Power Automate and Event Driven Ansible on the field, there are other options now available.

Having provided consulting services for years on Tidal by Redwood, I recommend going with a solutions partner or consultant to deploy it. I believe there are sizing and tuning guidelines that should be followed for environments of scale. I believe they are not critical when first lighting up the product, but if you are not aware of them you will encounter performance degradation after a few thousand job objects are added.

Alternatives Considered
Easy integration and more user-friendly. We selected this platform because of the price and the name. Honestly, Cisco is better known for the technology than a no-name brand for us, so it was easier to persuade upper management than explain who the company is for another competitor in an RFP.
