    Chose AMS360
    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.

    • Some of the questions in the applications are repetitive.
    • The manual is not especially user-friendly - our agency is working on a new one for easier navigation.
    • Better integration with our other software programs would be beneficial to our agency.

    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.
