Thoughts on Tidal Automation
Overall Satisfaction with Tidal Automation
Used for scheduling of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly batch processing scripts on Linux and Windows servers.
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
- You do not need a large staff to support Tidal. Users can be easily trained to use Tidal. In the three companies where I used Tidal two admins were sufficient to support Tidal.
I liked the ability to write code directly within Automic. I understood the logic of the "object oriented" design of the user interface, but I felt it was confusing to understand and troubleshoot.
You don't have to look too deep into Control-M to see it's mainframe roots. The user interface works, but is dated.
