    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.

    Vertafore ReferenceConnect is well suited within an organization with many users, who are trying to turn out policy submissions and gain information quickly. It is also well suited for individuals who are trying to learn more specifically about classes of business, what types of insurance coverage is recommended, and what the policies are based on. It opened my eyes to a lot of exposures for class codes that I was not particularly aware of, due to the fact that I am a new agent, and I would recommend this be used for agents who have less than 5 years experience.

    • Sometimes the site navigation is not the most fluid.
    • Sometimes I get logged into a particular carrier's section and have to log out and log back in - not sure the reasoning.
    • It does not always recognize my description so finding the class code is sometimes harder than expected.

    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.

    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.

    Unfortunately, I have not used any additional software programs like Vertafore ReferenceConnect so I am unable to compare them. I do know that my insurance agency likes the capabilities that it has and is not looking for alternatives at this point - this can only speak to the benefit to the organization.
