"A Simple Healthcare Automation Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about LGI RPA?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LGI RPA?

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 choose modern RPA tools like Automation Anywhere, UiPath over this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LGI RPA:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LGI RPA 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool for Experienced VBA Developers"

3.5/5

What do you like best about LGI RPA?

User Interface is very easy to understand. Web and Windows Application develop by Boston Work Station easily. Most of the Healthcare organizations like and use Boston Work Station (BWS), and all the core developers specially Visual Basic 6.0/VBA love it.

1. BWS is the powerful scripting platform where developer automate manual and consuming task.

2. BWS support verity of methodological coding including HTML, CSS and JavaScript (Like: InnerText, OuterText, Parent Element, Child Element, Index)

3. BWS Support Keystrokes like: Tab, Shift, Alt.

4. Excel Data and MS SQL Server Database handle easily with BWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LGI RPA?

BWS is not for beginners, because everything is handled with the help of coding. It is more complex compared to other Robotics Process Automation (RPA) tools like Automation Anywhere, UiPath.

BWS supports only Visual Basic 6.0 / VBA as an automation development language.

BWS follows Internet Explorer (IE) web browser by default, all the Web automation runs on IE only. It is too complex because many times IE does not support the web portal properly, and the automation script does not capture the right information from web elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LGI RPA:

Enhance Technical as well as provide better support for developers and end users. Like: Create online text, videos library for training sessions to know BWS in a more effective way.

Example: Automation Anywhere provides the online training session free for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LGI RPA solving and how is that benefiting you?

The healthcare industry is very vast, and day by day we handle information that is more complex. Information is used in various formats like Text, PDF, Network Drive. PDF and Citrix Automation is more complex with BWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with BWS"

4/5

What do you like best about LGI RPA?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LGI RPA?

Boston Workstation must provide a way to integrate semi-structured and non-structured data in our automation like PDFs, which is quite difficult otherwise. Boston Email Functionality sometimes does not work, so we have to use VBA code to implement the same. Boston is not robust and sometimes hangs. Also, it does not have legacy technology unlike Automation Anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering LGI RPA:

Boston must enhance itself with time and be competitive with new emerging tools in the market like Boston, UI Path, Automation Anywhere. If the tool is promoted well, it might reach the masses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is LGI RPA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working with Boston Workstation is fun as it is purely coding-based. We can apply different logics and come up with the same way to automate our tasks. I have been working with a healthcare company and automating repetitive tasks of claims processing, cash posting, and others. It is easy to work with files in folders using the file system object through VBA code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
