We use it to run a bunch of periodic report-building tasks. Compute internal metrics, archive support tickets, that sort of things. Compared to plain cron, we get proper tracking and history of the runs that failed, and a web UI to access the results (generated reports, for us).

I wouldn't use it for production-sensitive crons, but for administrative stuff, it works fine.
