    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.

    Scalability, ease of use, ease of access, integrated services. This solution works for 2 man shops all the way up to 150+ with shared services, etc. Vertafore is working towards a unified look/feel, which will only solidify the need to work with any/all of their products.

    EZLynx seems to be well suited for any size insurance agency. The capabilities seem to be endless with the only caveat being the integrated homeowner rating system. EZLynx fits all the categories that a management system should fit for any size insurance agency. About the only scenario I can think of that EZLynx would not be appropriate would be doing the financial books for an agency, but than again, what agency management does.

    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.

    Very user friendly software and they continue to improve it. We choose it as its "insurance centric" and most features are great. Training is good but some could be updated as they make changes. Would like to see some additional user options added for some tracking capabilities. But it works well for our agency

    While QQ Evolution was a very good agency management platform its time was coming to an end because of the lack of portability. Which is one of the reasons why we made the switch over to EZLynx. The other issue with QQ Evolution was the massive amount of time needed to do end of the month commissions. EZLynx has solved this problem with their much simpler and easier to use commission interface.
