Who publishes Best Workflow Automation Platforms

Best Workflow Automation Platforms is published by Black Badger Software Solutions, a software company based in Clearwater, Florida. Black Badger builds custom software, including custom workflow systems, for companies whose processes have outgrown the tools they rent.

Keep that in mind as you read. A custom build by Black Badger is one of the ranked options on every list, and its entry says so. We take no commission from any vendor named here and have no reseller arrangement with any of them.

How the Best Workflow Automation Platforms lists are ranked

Each list answers one question for one kind of buyer, and the ranking is specific to that question. A platform can win one list and sit sixth on the next.

We weigh how well an option handles requests, approvals and hand-offs between people, what it costs when most of a company takes part, and who can build and change a process. The lists are written for companies of roughly 50 employees and up.

The custom route is ranked like any other option. It sits in the top three on every list because we believe it belongs there for companies of this size, and it is first only on the list about a process that has outgrown its tool.

Where the facts on Best Workflow Automation Platforms come from

How each option charges, its plan names and its limits are read from each vendor's own website, and every entry shows the date they were read and links to the page. When a vendor does not publish a price, the entry says so and does not estimate one. No prices are printed on this guide. Each entry says how the option charges and lists its pros and cons.

Vendors change plans and prices often. If a fact here no longer matches the vendor's page, the vendor's page is right.

How often Best Workflow Automation Platforms is updated

Every page shows the date it was last updated. The facts are rechecked against the vendor sites on a regular cycle, and a ranking is revisited when a price, a cap or a package changes enough to matter.
