SK Shreyas K. Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/5/2023 "Tidal Workflow Overview" 5/5 What do you like best about Tidal Automation? Strong Security Upgrades, Tidal introduced AES‑256 encryption across all databases and configuration files, ensuring enterprise‑grade protection for sensitive data. The encryption process now includes detailed logging and auto‑backup, making system administration safer and more transparent. Major Cloud Security Expansion, A standout improvement is the addition of 47 comprehensive AWS security tests. These cover IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager, and CloudWatch, helping teams automatically detect misconfigurations such as unsecured policies, unused access keys, missing MFA, and insufficient CloudWatch alerts. Better Integration with Jira,You can now link existing Jira tickets directly to Tidal tasks, which helps synchronize workflows across engineering, compliance, and operations. This eliminates duplicate issues and ensures better alignment between teams. Improved Event Triggers & Agent Stability, New job event triggers—such as alerts when a job may collide with an outage window—help prevent unexpected failures.Tidal also improved agent stability by preventing older agents from shutting down unexpectedly and tightening job parameter validation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tidal Automation? A richer analytics dashboard with drill‑down insights, customizable reporting, and better log visualization would significantly enhance operational transparency. More frequent bug‑fix releases and continuous performance optimization, especially for large job streams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tidal Automation solving and how is that benefiting you? We have project where we have to schedule jobs based on particular events Tidal workflow Automation has helped in this, it also provides real time monitoring with SLA information which helps in saving cost and managing the project.

AG Arjun G. 1/19/2026 "Highly Recommended Despite Performance Lag" 5/5 What do you like best about Tidal Automation? I like that the system, most of the time, will be up and running. It is a good thing, which I like about Tidal Automation. The initial setup was good, and we got much support from Tidal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tidal Automation? I feel like Tidal Automation is a bit slow compared to other automation tools on the market. I'm hoping for more of a GUI display and better performance. It would be great if it displayed more errors directly in the UI rather than having to log in to the back end server to collect the details. I would be happier if the logs could be available on the front end rather than logging into the server where Tidal is installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tidal Automation solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Tidal Automation for scheduling our data integration jobs. It's reliable, often up and running, which is useful. However, it's a bit slow compared to other automation tools and could be more GUI-friendly for error display. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AB Asa B. 12/18/2025 "Robust for Enterprise, Costly for Cloud" 4/5 What do you like best about Tidal Automation? I like Tidal Automation for its usability and interface, which helps in understanding how a dependency tree runs and building complex automations. It's great for compartmentalizing tasks, letting you rely less on large-scale code blocks and break things down into microcode or microprocess segments. I find it requires a lot less training for operators, making it user-friendly. Tidal Automation also has wonderful plugins with great features when needed, and it is relatively straightforward to install. When it comes to enterprise scheduling, it's a solid choice that's easy to use and enterprise-ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tidal Automation? Tidal is monolithic while it can have some redundancy. Its costs of running is not inexpensive. Tidal licensing in recent years has increased dramatically, which made it a lot less cost effective against certain other rivals. Its overhead has become one of its underlying issues. They need a lighter version, also something that is more cloud-centric, that can run dynamically and distributed. I also wish they had SAAS for tidal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tidal Automation solving and how is that benefiting you? Tidal Automation solves complex dependency automation issues with a usable interface and a single pane of glass for all enterprise automations. It also reduces operator training needs by allowing application owners to manage their own automations easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tidal Administration Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/12/2025 "Eighteen years of Operational Value and Benefits with Tidal" 5/5 What do you like best about Tidal Automation? Our organization transitioned to the Tidal Automation Workload Scheduler eighteen years ago, migrating from Maestro and Tivoli. Over the years, with continuous enhancements and improvements, Tidal has proven to be a highly reliable and stable scheduling solution. After implementing this product, we were able to automate numerous reporting processes, significantly improving operational efficiency and providing long-term benefits to our users. Tidal’s intuitive graphical user interface is easy to navigate while still delivering the essential functionality required by the business. Its user-friendly design, along with built-in features such as full batch-processing visualization, allows users to view end-to-end workflows prior to integration into production cycles. This has been a valuable capability for our team. I particularly appreciate the command-line interface, which is straightforward to use and provides robust control for managing complex scheduling activities. Additionally, Tidal’s automated error-notification features, based on job status, have greatly reduced the need for manual intervention and minimized operational workload. Tidal also integrates seamlessly with various cloud-based platforms and ServiceNow, which has become essential for modern enterprise environments. Overall, I am extremely impressed with the application’s capabilities, reliability, and performance. Finally, the support provided by Redwood has been excellent—responsive, friendly, and consistently accommodating to our needs from initial implementation to ongoing maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tidal Automation? License cost became significantly high as twice as what we had. Also, expanding the scheduler or adding new adapters/software may involve additional cost. Lack of Training guide and documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT Service Support Specialist 12/12/2025 "Simplifies Routine Tasks, Offers Workflow Flexibility" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Tidal Automation? Once I understood the basics of Tidal Automation, it became quite simple to use. Building workflows is like putting together puzzle pieces with three or four different classifications like jobs, groups, milestones, and terminate jobs. With these job types, I can create workflows that follow logical paths depending on the outcome of the previous job. I find it interesting that there can be scheduled jobs or event-based jobs that only kick off once a certain event is met. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Tidal Automation? Sometimes the interface is glitchy, and that might just be trying to do too much at once. Occasionally, we find glitches, and they're often patched in the next version. But in between versions, we only upgrade once a year, due to the high criticality of the environment we're working in. It's difficult if you don't know what you don't know. It's hard to think about a new idea if you don't have someone to bounce ideas off of. Oftentimes, you'll use it one way for a long time before you figure out there's a new and better way of doing things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Tidal Automation solving and how is that benefiting you? Tidal Automation saves a lot of employee time by handling mundane and routine tasks, automating file exchanges with vendors for academic processes and financial systems.
