Cloud Elements shines when you want to offer multiple options to the user on a type of system, such as supporting integration to CRM and wanting to offer Dynamics, Salesforce, and HubSpot on equal footing. If you only have a single integration with a single system, using Cloud Elements adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction.

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.

Pros
UiPath
  • The API itself is very robust and easy to use, being a standard REST interface, standard HTTP response codes, well-packaged error messages, etc.
  • Their uptime is great! I think I've seen one (short) 5-minute' blip' the entire time we've been connected for any type of primary function.
  • Their support is top notch, they respond quickly, and the team that works with you is communicative and knowledgable.

  • VisualCron can pack and unpack files from many types of packing methods.
  • Clear job scripts with complex constructions can be written in VisualCron
  • VisualCron provides a clear graphical overview of the situation of all jobs.
  • VisualCron clearly indicates when a job has run into an error.

Cons
UiPath
  • The only thing I can think of that they could improve is the quality of the assets they produce in the go-to-market process. This is a huge value add service, but the quality of what was produced was lower than what we would have produced internally. We spent more time going back and forth on the assets than it would have taken us to build them from scratch.

  • 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.

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.

At the time we found Cloud Elements we found no other option that had a Unified API for cloud storage providers.

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.

  • Not my area of expertise, but it made my job as an implementer much easier, especially after finishing the first integration.

  • 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.
