    Dancing Numbers
    Dancing Numbers is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses needing an easy-to-use, cost-effective accounting solution, particularly during transitions from manual bookkeeping or other software. It’s especially useful for firms with basic accounting needs or limited expertise, offering automation for routine tasks. However, it may not be suitable for large enterprises with complex financial operations, businesses requiring advanced customization, or those in highly regulated industries. It also might fall short for companies with extensive international operations or high transaction volumes.

    VisualCron does accommodate continuous file processing. Like packing and unpacking compressed files, splitting or merging files, sending E-mail's and executing queries on databases. VisualCron in less suitable for performing very complex operations on files like, arithmetic with numbers, dates or amounts. Very complex job scripts become cluttered. Debugging Job scripts is not easy.

    NetCart DBA VisualCron
    • VisualCron should more specifically indicate the root cause of an error.
    • If copying a file goes wrong, VisualCron reports 'can't copy file'. I expect 'no read permissions from original' or 'no write permissions from destination'.
    • VisualCron offers no way to execute a Job script line by line
    • In VisualCron, nested loops cannot be created.

    Usability
    Dancing Numbers
    I’ve been using Dancing Numbers for a few months now, and overall, it’s been a great experience. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it relatively easy to navigate even for someone with a moderate level of accounting knowledge. The automated data entry and reconciliation features are particularly helpful, saving us a significant amount of time and reducing manual errors.The integration with various accounting systems is a big plus, allowing us to seamlessly connect with our existing tools. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had questions or needed assistance.However, there are a few areas where Dancing Numbers could improve. While the core functionalities are strong, some advanced features feel a bit limited compared to competitors. Additionally, the pricing structure could be more flexible to accommodate different business sizes and needs.Overall, Dancing Numbers is a solid choice for businesses looking to streamline their accounting processes with a reliable tool, though there’s room for enhancement in certain areas.

    Questions and problems can be addressed to VisualCron 's support department via E-mail. I usually get a good answer from them fairly quickly. There is also a VisualCron forum where you can ask questions that will be answered by other VisualCron users.

    For simple processes, VisualCron is easier to use and maintain. For complicated processes, Quadient Inspire offers more options. The graphical representations of waiting, running or completed jobs is adequate for both products. The logging of job actions is better in Quadient Inpire as in VisualCron.

    • With VisualCron, I need 3 times less time to get file processing right.
    • If a VisualCron job goes wrong I need twice as much time to find the problem.
    • Visualcron does not run on Linux but on Windows which can make an upgrade and reboot take up to 6 times as long.
