Tidal Workload Automation
What it is
Tidal Workload Automation centralizes job scheduling and workload automation for business, operations, and IT processes. It can run on premises or in the cloud and automate workloads in either environment. Schedules may be time-based or event-based, responding to triggers such as file arrivals and database changes. The platform includes commonly used calendars and allows unlimited custom calendars. When jobs fail, it can alert on events, begin recovery actions, email job owners, send console messages, or create incident reports. Tidal advertises more than 40 prebuilt integrations, including AWS, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and ServiceNow. An API, CLI, and SSH and Web Services adapters connect applications to enterprise workflows. Security features include enterprise directory authentication, password-vault integrations, fine-grained role-based access controls, and policy management. The platform supports workflow dependencies, cross-platform execution, SLA monitoring, and audit logs. All support plans include 24/7/365 production assistance and direct access to Level 2 support engineers. Pricing is on request, with no free plan and a free trial available. Tidal’s workload automation history began in 1979, and Tidal Software became part of Redwood Software in 2023.
