Applied Epic is a cloud-based insurance agency management system from Applied Systems, described as advanced and scalable by the vendor, with available integrations with many 3rd party applications.
AMS360 is a solid platform to run an insurance agency. Their support during issues is stellar. Our issues came only after we said we needed to pivot a different direction, then everything went to pot.
I think AMS360 is more user-friendly and has many options that are time savers if you learn to use them. Integration with the companies is significant for me as well. They seem to be on the front end of technology and integration with companies like Bridge and Agency …
We acquire agencies with a long list of different management systems; after vetting the systems we currently utilize within our agencies, AMS360 came out on top as the most inclusive program set. Vertafore products are really rounding out their set of systems that really create …
We have considered other platforms from time to time but have felt comfortable staying with AMS360. New users appear to understand AMS360 quickly and customize it to their personal preferences. Older users, generally reluctant to changes, are more receptive to updates as they …
Both systems are similar in terms of management capabilities. We went with AMS360 as it better fit my group as a whole. I do think that reports were much more easily run in Applied than AMS360. I hadn't used Applied for accounting, but it seems the AMS360 is a little cumbersome …
I have used HawkSoft for over 8 years, so we know their system like the back of my hand. I have been using AMS360 for over 6 months, so it's really not fair to compare both at this level of knowledge of AMS360. It's still a learning curve with AMS360. So far when we compare …
I've never used any products similar to Applied Epic. The other GL's I've used in the past it compares favorable to. I've used Microsoft Great Plains and AS400.
We upgraded from [Applied] Tam to [Applied] Epic as we were needing new servers. The cost was a huge factor and the fact that Applieds data is backed up by them and updates are done by them, it was a huge cost and time saver for us.
Unfortunately, I have not worked with any other account management software like Applied Epic so I would not be able to comment on the usefulness of it versus another product. I do know that our organization likes the capabilities of Applied Epic so much that they do not plan …
Applied Epic was more robust than some of the other systems we looked at. It had the ability to be configured to work with very large fortune 1000 companies all the way down to personal lines business which was advantageous for us.
If you use PL Rating, AMS360 is highly recommended due to their seamless integration. Also, if you are looking for a system to use on the cloud, it is best. But if you are an offline user, then maybe it's not for you.
Agency management for larger P&C driven agencies that are looking for standardization across their business. The system really allows you to track and see when activities are being created and completed, where an account is in the marketing process (or renewal process). It also is a great data warehouse when looking to consolidate.
This is by far the most robust agency management system I have used that works for all sizes of agencies. Others have better options here or there, but they are highly customized for a specific type of agency. AMS360 is a one size fits all type of solution, and it works well for us.
It is very user friendly. You can go from beginner to efficient user in a short period of time. I like the option of a desktop application as well as the web app
I have not necessarily used support from Applied Epic directly, but have gone to my trainer who has gone to support. I am usually able to get an answer relatively quickly, so I can assume the support team is very knowledgeable and prompt with their help.
We have considered other platforms from time to time but have felt comfortable staying with AMS360. New users appear to understand AMS360 quickly and customize it to their personal preferences. Older users, generally reluctant to changes, are more receptive to updates as they come up since transitions have been easily understandable .
