An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…

Very reliable processing engine, and scheduling is flawless—crucial elements in our financial transaction processing
Because we've been on it for 20 years, it's pretty easy for us to automate jobs with Tidal at this point. It has become second nature. It's pretty simplistic to set up and get going, although there are different levels of complexity you can have within the product. It depends on how simple you want to keep it. If you just keep it: Job A, Job B, Job C, Job D, that becomes pretty simple. But when you start integrating some complex calendars that use sub-calendars—and you can go three, four, or five deep to set up schedules—it becomes more complicated. The beauty of it is you can go as deep as you need to. We can get really complex or we can keep it simple. We have some use cases for both scenarios. The thing that I like the most is the reliability of the engine. The actual scheduling part of the product is pretty much flawless, but the stability of the product is what I find to be reassuring. We are a financial company, we move billions of dollars a day, and if we don't have our transactions processed in a timely manner we can be penalized and our clients can be penalized. It can have a serious financial impact.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It has been super stable. There are no complaints on stability. We would not be using it if Tidal wasn't stable."
"We had a number of different schedulers in this organization and we've been porting everything that was running out of these other, unrelated schedulers into this scheduler. That has afforded us the ability to set up direct dependencies between processes that couldn't talk to one another before. Over the 15 years, we've definitely gained a lot from that. What had been manual controls have become automated controls..."
"By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Tidal Automation can use this data to optimize turbine settings and improve overall efficiency and performance."
"It's easy to use and easy to administer, and it's very flexible."
"We wouldn't be able to do many of the complex scheduling that we do today without it. For us, it is a mission-critical app. Because if it doesn't work or has a problem, then SAP doesn't function. It is that critical. So, it's an essential tool for us to manage and run SAP jobs."
"The first, big thing that we got out of using Tidal Workload Automation was having a centralized view of the status of all of our batch processes across all these systems... We can look into the schedule at any given time and see if things are running on track or if they are falling behind. We can also see if something failed."
"Tidal Automation is very efficient and can quickly automate most manual and repetitive tasks."
"We have to run about 12,000 jobs every day and the majority of them need to be launched from our ERP, JD Edwards. The native compatibility of the Tidal platform with JD Edwards dovetails with our greatest need. It's directly connected to the heart of our IT system. We couldn't work without it."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"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 Software interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"To better fit their unique needs, the solution should give more customization options."
"For the most part, the drill-down and the logging are really good. But if we take an Informatica job, for example: We have the ability, and the operators have the ability, to actually drill down and see, at a session level, where the failure is. There is, unfortunately, no way to extract that into an actual output email or failure email. It's not that that information is not available, but extracting it into an email would be a nice-to-have."
"The drill-down into details using the Graphical Views feature is a bit difficult and not that helpful. If you want to go into the details, you have to go to the Job Activity. Graphical Views is not that easy for getting that kind of information."
"With the client, we have had certain issues. The user interface for Tidal is a little slow. A lot of people would love this tool if they had a faster user interface. The drill-down functionality should be much quicker than what it is pulling out now. If I fill out some data, then it takes awhile to get that data back onto the screen. It's not as fast as we were expecting."
"Initially, it is complicated to understand the functionalities as there is limited product documentation."
"They can do better reporting in terms of production statistics reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"If you are willing to shop around to other vendors, you can possibly get a good price on your support license."
"The solution has no hidden costs. It helps me to plan forward into the future. I know that I can add another 100 or a thousand jobs, and that's how much it will cost me today."
"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."
"The licensing model's flexibility is awesome. The way it's licensed for us is that it's licensed per master and then per agent. We have an enterprise agreement, so we have unlimited agents, and we have it on 500 devices."
"...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."
"We think the pricing is very fair. We have been happy with the pricing compared to some of the other solutions in the space."
"There have been pricing increases, but with the reduction that our company obtained from Tidal this year, the pricing has become very acceptable for this type of product."
"We pay maintenance annually through Blue House of about $9,000. That's for our two environments: production and test."
