Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried.""The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations.""It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput.""It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data.""Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features.""The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors).""It is a scalable solution.""We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."

"Tidal Automation’s most valuable feature is customization. It can work and connect with any app.""Especially in the newer versions of Tidal, the segmentation of user permissions enables us to give people operator permissions for their jobs, to rerun jobs, but view-only for other groups' jobs. We're able to keep people from hurting themselves or other groups accidentally. The permissioning is really good.""Tidal Automation by Redwood is a user-friendly solution.""Tidal Automation allows organizations to automate complex workflows and processes, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.""One of the most useful features is being able to set up a schedule and create dependencies. The calendar can kick off processes at certain times, based on dependencies that you specify, like time, or whether another process has finished. Dependencies are the most useful thing.""Tidal Automation offers extensive monitoring and reporting features that let users keep track of the status of their workflows and quickly spot any problems.""It's the most efficient tool in doing repetitive tasks and saves a lot of time with minimum possibility of error.""Tidal helps administrators and users to see the information that is relevant to them in that single pane of glass. They can see jobs running, they can see job history, and they can see job progression. If you look at alternatives like Airflow and clouds, you'd have to design your own UI to monitor the progress of the different jobs that you've created in Airflow. So Tidal is huge for us."

Cons
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security.""I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot.""You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes.""There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data.""Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs.""The initial setup can be a little bit difficult.""Sometimes additional connectors are needed.""In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."

More Jitterbit Harmony Cons →

"One area for improvement is the command-line interface and the API to bulk-load jobs. It's a little bit kludgy, but we still manage without it. They're working on it and it's getting better all the time. In addition, the documentation for their API for creating jobs needs to be updated. It's a bit of a learning curve.""When we patch to the next version, there is often a little thing that breaks. It has rarely been a big deal, but I always seem to have to follow up on one tiny issue. It would help if they had some better QA testing of their patches.""The user interface is the place that needs the most work. If and when we find issues with the product, they are usually in that area. If I had to choose, that's where I'd want issues, as opposed to in the engine. But the UI is average. It's a little sluggish at times and there are some bugs in it.""The UI might have the potential to provide a more polished and user-centric encounter, promoting seamless engagements and simplifying the navigation process for individuals interacting with the software.""One of the weaknesses of the product is, when something happens, it's difficult to find out the root cause. There are a lot of logs you can take a look at in Tidal. Sometimes, they are useful, but other times, they're not. That is mostly relegated to the administrative team. Users for the most part don't see that and don't know anything about that. They just know they have a problem, then it's up to the administrative team to see what happened and figure out the problem.""Their software installation and update process could use some improvements. I'm pretty sure they're working on that, but that's definitely an area where it could be streamlined a lot. There's still a lot of manual work that you have to do with the schedule when you deploy masters or do the agents.""It takes a lot of time to learn the product. I have admins and developers who are working on the products for the last three to four years and still don't know all the functionalities. Tidal has really great things about it, but people are focused on their day-to-day job and the solution is not intuitive.""Tidal Automation could be further integrated with other systems used in the operation of tidal energy systems, such as weather forecasting tools, energy management systems, or asset management software."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
  • "The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
  • "I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
  • "Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
  • "The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
  • "The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
  • More Jitterbit Harmony Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The new prices that we've received seem reasonable and comparable to the marketplace."
  • "We pay maintenance annually through Blue House of about $9,000. That's for our two environments: production and test."
  • "The pricing is pretty reasonable. That seems to help a lot versus other companies. There are no other fees aside from the standard licensing fees. There are other products out there where you pay based on how many jobs you run and so on, and I know that's very frustrating for users."
  • "The solution’s licensing model in terms of its flexibility and transparency regarding costs is pretty good. A person can buy the license, and if you decide to stop support, you can do that but still have the product. So, it's not like you're paying constantly to keep that license alive. Certainly, you want to keep support going too. Once you buy it, you own it. It's not like I have to keep paying somebody to keep using it."
  • "If you are willing to shop around to other vendors, you can possibly get a good price on your support license."
  • "Our annual maintenance cost is competitive for what we have and what they do."
  • "There are project, system, and server costs. Some of the things that they are doing is introducing new products. They are introducing what they call their Repository, which is a way for you to move a job. That doesn't cost anything to us, because it is reusing a tool called Transporter. The repository is the successor to Transporter, so we already own it and are sort of grandfathered in. But that new product requires a server and database, so now we have to go out and get a server and database. So, there is a cost there."
  • "...it is a pretty affordable scheduler tool that lets us do a lot. You get a lot of bang for the buck... The licensing model is hugely flexible."
