Overall Satisfaction with Tidal Automation

We use Tidal Automation TA) to schedule and run the majority of our Enterprise Batch Processes. This includes our Claims, Policy, and Billing Processes. We have also automated with TA the sending of our document and checks to our printers for automated printing. We use TA to transfer files using SFTP to and from our enterprise the majority of our recurring file transfers. As our Enterprise Batch Processing is mission critical, we have implemented fault tolerance and have a backup master waiting to take over if the primary master presents an issue which allows our Enterprise Batch Processes to continue working 24 hours 7 days a week.
  • Tidal Automation, with the creation of Calendars, schedules and processes Jobs very well.
  • Tidal Automation monitors for files being present to insert a process to consume those files.
  • Tidal Automation does a very good job of monitoring and acting on dependencies for jobs to be initiated.
  • Tidal Automation graphically displays JobGroups very well showing the flow of Jobs in the JobGroup.
  • Tidal Repository (TR) is not very intuitive.
  • I wish Job Activity shoed more information about the Job as it does in the Definition area.
  • The Tidal Automation GUI needs to be cleaned up, so the sort columns actually sort.
  • I would like to be able to run a report that shows the version of the Tidal Agents installed on each server.
  • Over time we have added more and more processes under the Tidal Automation control. The business does not really know what is under Tidal Automation control as we have had very few work stoppages caused by Tidal Automation directly.
