Overview
What is VisualCron?
VisualCron is an automation and job scheduling platform for Windows servers that runs scripts, file transfers, database jobs, reports, and system integrations. It offers hundreds of built-in tasks, event and time triggers, conditions, variables, a graphical workflow editor, and detailed logging. Extraction tasks pull data from files, databases, web sources, and documents. IT administrators, developers, DevOps engineers, and operations teams use VisualCron to replace Windows Task Scheduler and run thousands of jobs daily.

Reviews
VisualCron reviews
Joshua L.
Software Developer
“Liked how capable it is, script execution for extending it, fast support, and the low price for its abilities. Found a learning curve and disliked how global conditions work.”
Michael J.
CEO
“Liked the many task and variable options, very fast support, affordable price, and detailed logging. Found the initial learning curve steep.”
Bharath K.
Implementation Manager
“Liked how well it handles scheduling and many task types. Found that moving a license between servers requires a costly support plan, prompting plans to switch.”
Albert S.
Trading
“Liked the built-in triggers and integrations, quick support, documentation, and forum. Found a steeper curve on some features and rising costs that make first-time approval harder.”
Dinendra D.
Manager
“Liked that it automates nearly all of the team's IT tasks and runs more than 1,000 jobs daily. Noted no major drawbacks.”
Robert F.
Web Admin
“Liked the easy configuration, DevOps integration, strong support, and running 600 tasks across 10 servers. Found load-balanced, fault-tolerant operation lacking.”
Andres O.
CEO
“Liked the excellent overall experience and responsive support across time zones. Found that cost is the main objection raised by clients.”
Jean-Marc P.
IS Manager
“Liked the versatility, the responsive support team, and the good value for money. Found some learning curve when getting started.”
Rinaldo H.
Technical Application Support Analyst
“Liked the power of the product and that customizations are available on request from the vendor. Found the learning curve steep.”
Matt D.
System Software Engineer
“Liked seeing all jobs in one place so users can support them without server access. Found the upgrade process cumbersome.”
Md Abdul M.
Software Quality Assurance Engineer
“Liked the user-friendly interface, easy setup and monitoring, and scripting support. Found some jobs run long and the home screen slows with many jobs.”
