VisualCron Primary Use Case

Sourav-Dutta - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead - Database Administrator at SMART ENERGY SYSTEMS LLC

We use VisualCron for all our automation needs, like connecting to FileZilla, calling APIs, generating PGP keys, creating encryption files with the PGP key login to Azure, etc. It can automatically log in to SQL Server and execute SQL script jobs in bulk. We had 2,000-3,000 users at my previous company.

I used VisualCron for automatization, particularly for moving files around. I also used it for integration, so it's a middleware solution. When two systems need to talk to each other but speak different technical languages, such as different APIs, XMLs, or file imports and exports, I used VisualCron to translate the export from one system to another.

It's a scheduling tool. We can configure it and schedule different tasks and it will automatically process this task in a timely manner.

We have some applications running in the server and built them to be executed in a timely manner. We use this tool to trigger those applications and process some specific tasks.

Product Owner Insight & Analytics Platform at Otto (GmbH & Co KG)

It is quick and easy to use scheduling and some simple SQL jobs. We have some tools to automate our stuff, including CI/CD stuff (like Jenkins) and building pipelines. For the every day business user, this is way too complicated. It breaks a fly on the wheel for these sort of requirements. VisualCron is a handy tool that we (the IT department) provide for the business departments to obtain easy access when automating and scheduling. We absolutely love this nifty piece of software.

Director of IT at a recruiting/HR firm with 51-200 employees

We use this product for practically everything when it comes to data management and much more. We've been able to automate a great number of processes that make us more efficient, eliminating manual processes that free up our employees to take on more of their prioritized projects on a daily basis. It also greatly helps with communication, whether it be for error reporting or status reporting. It's hard to come up with a primary use case when we've been able to improve so many different processes.

We use it for replacing files from our FTP server to our network work folders or as an email selector for invoices. We receive invoices into a certain mailbox depending on the sender address where we make mail triggers. In the trigger, we can manage what to do with the attachments:

  1. We put the invoice into a process folder. 
  2. We put the attachments into a subfolder where we merge the invoice with attachments. 
  3. Once you make the job/trigger in every mail, it is processed automatically.
