    When I started looking at management systems I first looked at AMS360 since it's the Cadillac of management systems. However, it's a hefty upfront investment and the monthly is steep for a start-up agency. At that time EZlynx just had their rater platform however when they came …

    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.

    For a small agency and start-up agencies QQCatalyst is an excellent choice. For larger agencies (10-15+ agents) I'd suggest looking at some of the bigger management systems such as AMS360.

    Usability
    Applied Systems
    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.

    HawkSoft is good for personal lines, but it can be very tedious to enter all information for each policy. QQCatalyst is better suited for Commercial lines than HawkSoft. As of the date of this review.
