Overall Satisfaction with Tidal Automation

Tidal Automation is a tool which is used to schedule, automate and manage things in a way is easier while functioning and working on it. Some of the business problems and scope of use are: 1. Tidal is working towards hybrid solution (i.e) where most of the applications now are converting from on-prem to Azure environments. 2. GUI is an area where it can be improved, making more user-friendly and attractive by improving its functionality as it sometimes gets little busy and time-consuming. 3. Also, whenever there a bug/issue in Tidal we are reaching out to/ raising a case with TIDAL team so they help us in identify it which may sometime delay and if its production environment it leads to loss of revenue which may eventually leads to customers trust in product.
  • Tidal Automation allows us to automate and schedule/ perform various tasks in a easy and effective manner. It is highly interactive and effective allowing nearly 4k -5k jobs to run a day.
  • Tidal is designed to be easily shareable and collaborative allowing multiple users to work at a particular time making work effective.
  • Tidal allows us to ensure that every event which is triggered is exactly when it's supposed to be regardless of other activities which are going as well.
  • It is user-friendly to generate the reports required of a particular object and allows us to test the codes perfectly well before executing in live environment.
  • It fluctuates when there are many URL's open in use which is time consuming as it delay to load while working.
  • When there are more than 1 function to perform in an object/job it is not possible as it takes 1 function at a time.
  • There are some things where we need to do it repeatedly for every n mins which can be try to resolve which sometime maybe irritating as there will other activities also going on.
  • Sometimes, when there are more than 2-3 TWA open and if we select a job and try to cancel, it selects the jobs which are also selected in another tab of TWA to cancel which is a serious threat in production environment.
  • It has a positive impact on factors like increase in productivity, easy to implement as there some options pre-built in it which automates and perform.
  • It also reduces human error mostly as it involve less manual performance and tool is time saving in this perspective.
  • It also has negative impacts like cost of the tool as its expensive and if it's not properly utilized it may lead huge revenue loss as all will be scheduled per plan.
  • We have to continually monitor its effectiveness to ensure a positive return on investment.

Some of the scenario's where it is well suited are: 1. Manufacturing: Tidal can automate the scheduling of production objects, ensure that materials are delivered on time. 2. It is also well suited in IT environments where there is a need to monitor systems, application workflows and data backup and recovery. 3. It is good tool for managing and processing large volumes of data which cannot be done everyday by running codes/scripts manually which Tidal does it with ease when required. Some of the scenarios where it is less appropriate are: 1. Tidal is not much recommended if workflows are simple and don't require much automation to perform as manual working may suffice. 2. Tidal is used for enterprise scale manufacturing organizations with complex/hard workflows to process large volume of data and may not be cost effective for small scale organizations. 3. Tidal is best suited for repetitive processes, if workflows are more ad-hoc or on demand then it is not best fitted.
