Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Tidal integrates with other third-party systems, which makes it easy to connect and exchange data.""Tidal Automation offers extensive monitoring and reporting features that let users keep track of the status of their workflows and quickly spot any problems.""The versatility of being able to run on many different types of servers is valuable. There is also a versatility of different services that you could run jobs on. It's highly versatile. You can run a lot of different types of scripts on a lot of different types of servers. It interfaces with all of them.""Tidal Automation by Redwood is a user-friendly solution.""We use the solution for cross-platform and cross-application workloads. That's one of the core reasons we chose it. It's one of a few things in the industry that can be used for cross-platform integration.""The data management on offer was valuable.""The most valuable feature is the job scheduler, where you can schedule thousands of jobs to execute at specific times.""We use the solution for cross-platform, cross-application workloads. The solution’s ability to manage and monitor these workloads is very easy and accurate. We have file dependencies for running jobs. The job does not start until a file exists on a completely different server, then where the job will run. So, it is cross systems."

"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting. Being on the business side, I need to report on the efficiency and the business case scenarios we build upon for the RPA. I need to find and analyze the relevant data.""Assets and logs are valuable.""The centralized dashboard and asset management in UiPath Orchestrator have proven valuable in enhancing operational efficiency.""From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool.""The solution is easy to use.""The reporting features are good.""UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments.""I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."

Cons
"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.""One thing I would like to see improved is that, currently, when an action is executed and finishes in Tidal, it's marked as either "success" or "failure." I would like more options that would flag a job according to multiple options, rather than just "good" or bad"... Tidal has told us that it's possible to do so through the product or with a workaround.""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.""The job failure alerts can be updated with more details for better troubleshooting.""The GUI, the graphical user interface, gets a little bit busy.""My complaint about their pricing model is that every year or every time technology changes or somebody has a new requirement, it usually means that I can schedule that with Tidal, but I would need another adapter. So, every time there is a change, I need a different adapter that I don't have. That's why it is harder to plan for Tidal growth because you have to buy a new adapter every time.""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.""Understanding and using Tidal Automation could be overwhelming for someone with minimal programming language."

More Tidal by Redwood Cons →

"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars.""One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases.""They could provide a more intuitive UI for the product.""The product must provide process mining features.""The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved.""The vendor should provide free certification to their partners.""Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial.""The credential vault is generic and does not have process categorization. The tool needs to arrange a Customer Success Manager for support. It should also improve the credential manager and integrate a customized form of retrieving the details. There should be more dashboards as well."

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."
  • More Tidal by Redwood Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution's price is high. We have subscribed to 15 licenses which are paid on a yearly basis. We don't pay any additional costs for support and maintenance."
  • "I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
  • "The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
  • "The product’s pricing is a little higher than reasonable."
  • "UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
  • "Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."
  • "UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The product is quite expensive."
