If you have worked with the Linux operating system at some point in your life, you may know, or at least have heard about, the task scheduler Cron, one of the most famous within this free environment. Considering that most users use Windows, we must not lose sight that there is a version adapted to the OS of Microsoft called VisualCron, which is the one we will analyze this time.

As we said, VisualCron is a task scheduler with many exciting features. This adaptation offers an experience at the height of the original Cron, which you can check if you've used before. This software's leading solutions are related to scheduling PC tasks so that we don't have to do them manually.

Of course, there are tasks we have to carry out ourselves, but if you think a little, surely others will come to your mind that you do every day at the same time or after a specific time. If this is your case, then you will find in VisualCron a luxury assistant that will allow you to get rid of those obligations, leaving everything in its hands so that the processes are carried out automatically.

The first detail in which we can observe the ease of operation of VisualCron is that it starts with the operating system Windows, so you will not have to worry about launching it. We have to add an interface that we will discuss in detail later, which is well achieved and allows us to get a very smooth user experience, avoiding wasted time.

VisualCron offers you the ability to schedule all the tasks you want and, of course, to view the list of planned actions at all times, either to add new ones or to remove any of those that are established. That adds many attractive configuration options, which can be seen especially when we create new tasks since it is possible to customize them to the maximum.

And what kind of tasks can I schedule thanks to VisualCron? Almost anyone comes to your mind, from the execution of different files or functions to system control tasks such as a logout or a reboot, sending files through various platforms, making backups, sending emails, and so on. As you can see, the variants are endless.

Yes, one last thing we wanted to mention about VisualCron before gathering the most critical information is that the installation process of this tool is frustrating. Not only is it confusing because it splits into several different installation windows, but it takes too long, and at times it is impossible to know if it has been installed correctly or not. Something that should undoubtedly improve in future versions.

And on the other hand, of course, do not lose sight of the fact that this software is not free, but you can use VisualCron for a few weeks before deciding whether you are willing to pay to make a definitive way with their services or not. In particular, we believe that the trial time is not wrong, as it is enough to know if it is worth paying for this service, mainly if you have never used a similar one before.

Let's move on then to the user interface of VisualCron, which we already said is one of the aspects we have undoubtedly liked most about this application. Indeed, the organization of the contents from a series of menus and submenus at the top of the screen is perfect. It helps novice users move better between its contents, especially since it is available only in English.

What we liked most about VisualCron is its design and the excellent placement of the main functions, which allows us to save a reasonable amount of time in internal scrolling. Then, the versatility it has to adapt to each type of user's needs is another reason we could recommend it, of course.

The worst thing about VisualCron is, without any doubt, its installation. It is confusing, prolonged, and divided into so many windows that it is difficult to know if we are installing a single application or several simultaneously. However, it must be recognized that once this installation procedure is completed, no other annoying elements are observed in the daily user experience.

In conclusion, for all those who need an assistant responsible for scheduling tasks on your computer, you will find in VisualCron a tool that can be of great help. Of course, being a paid software, you have to evaluate this feature initially because other task schedulers are entirely free, but noblesse obliges, perhaps not as complete.
