Good too for healthcare website automation

  • March 18, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Boston workstation uses vba programming language ,with some keywords of its own. This enables the developer to unleash the power of vba.
Since uses vba and you need to code ,so you can code for anything. Unlike latest automation tools where you choice is limited where one has to use from a selected list of components.
very good for healthcare website and excel automation.
Can include dll or api files.
Can also read and write text file
can be used to read and write mails
can connect to ms sql server
Uses java script code for web scrapping like getelementbyid , getelementbyclassname
What do you dislike about the product?
As a legacy tool,it lacks a lot as compared to other tools in the market.
One has to code in boston workstation
Its hard to automate system based application,requires a very high skill level to do the same
lacks the concepts of image recognition,evn the concept of ocr is very different then other automation tool.In boston workstation ocr is used to find the position of a object,rather then reading the text .
Hard to perform citrix automation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we automate healthcare websites,excel automation,email and file folder automations
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes its a good tool , but there a better tool than boston

Working with BWS

What do you like best about the product?
Boston involves a developer completely. I love that it is coding based unlike Automation Anywhere which has drag and drop functionality. Boston has various functionality to connect to different file types and Applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Boston Workstation must provide way to integrate semi structured and non structured data in our automation like Pdf which is quite difficult otherwise. Boston Email Functionality sometimes do no work so we have to use VBA code to implement the same. Boston is not robust and gets hang sometimes . Also, It does not have Legacy technology unlike Automation anywhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with Boston Workstation is fun as it is pure coding based. We can apply different logics and come same way to automate our tasks. I have been working with Healthcare Company and automating repetitive tasks of Claims Processing, cash Posting and others. It is easy to work with Files in Folders using File system object through VBA code .
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Boston must enhance itself with time and be competitive to new emerging tools in the market like Boston, UI Path, Automation Anywhere. If the tool is promoted well , it might reach masses.

A Simple Healthcare Automation Tool

  • March 15, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility and freedom that the developers have in this tool is appreciable, using VB to code and automate is easy as you go.Although the system is very primitive in nature, it can perform a lot of automation related activities on the go, the experience has been good until now.The debugging and error handling experience has been the best of the tools i've used so far , it does offer a free flow coding structure like coding in a programming language IDE like python. It uses VBA so you'll need to work your way around a lot of scenarios as it simply isn't feasible in some cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being primitive in nature, it does not bring a lot of features on the table that the modern RPA tools do, it lags behind in modern capabilities like object recognition and hassle free coding while it does provide free flow control and better debugging to the developers. i'd still shoose modern RPA tools like Automation Anywhere, Ui PAth over this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool was designed for Healthcare Automation which it does pretty good but when It needs to perform complex functions, it doesn't provide the functionality, hence completely depending your healthcare need on it doesn't suffice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool offers only primitive solutions for the price point and one should consider other RPA tools which can offer features over a larger spectrum.Although the ease of development in the tool makes it really good for developers.
