An review of an excellent task schedule management software: VisualCron

It is a long time I have been searching a professional task schedule software with low cost. In my company we use a very profession software to manage automatic jobs. So I want to have similar software on my personal PC which do a lot of financial analysis daily. Several softwares such as "Job Scheduler" and "TORQUE" were tried. I found those softwares either very hard to use or very expensive. Finally I found VisualCron from google. After carefully browsing through the visualcron website(http://www.visualcron.com/) I found most features I wanted. And I can afford it! Downloaded, installed it, then I start to set up the tasks to run daily. It is very easy to set up: for example, it will not take more than five minutes to set up a series of tasks which have interdependency.

I have used VisualCron for more than one month and feel very good: it is stable ( never crashed since I started one month ago), uses very small memory ( only around 30M in memory ) and no memory leak. I recommend visualcron to those who want professional task schedule software but do not want to waste time on learning how to set up it: visualcron is really easy to pick up!

Enjoy it!
