Thoughts on Tidal Automation
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Pros
- Easy to use
- Stable platform
- Great support desk
- Continually enhances product
- Well designed and easy to under database structure
- Comprehensive API
Cons
- API is poorly documented
- I would like to be able to code Python, Powershell, Linux in Tidal rather than have to call a file on the server
- Agent updates must be applied manually or using third-party tools
- Limited variable functionality, no string manipulation, limited numeric manipulation
Likelihood to Recommend
The API is powerful and comprehensive, but lacks good documentation.
The agent service is lightweight and scales well.
Calendar support for scheduling is unmatched.
Versioning support is kludgy and migrating between DEV, QA and Prod needs work.
