    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.

    Chose AMS360
    AMS360 is easier to use, less clicks, easier to find information, and easier to run reports.

    Chose AMS360
    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 …

    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.

    A new thing we love about TAM is the opportunity section. You can create an opportunity for your producer when you get a prospect -and it really keeps track of the progress and also his book of business. This is one area that works well for my department. I love the search/filter as well. This program is SO user-friendly. It's a great tool all around no matter which department you are in.

    • TAM saves my work by letting me attach documents directly to policies or activities so I can have it for documentation or to review at a later time.
    • I also love the expiration report. It lets you know which accounts are coming up for renewal so you can be prepared to talk with your clients.
    • Creating activities is another another plus. It keeps my work organized and also is a great reminder when something is coming due or needs attention.

    • After I attach something there is always a pop up telling me that "doc" has been attached. It pops up at the bottom of my screen and I constantly have to "x" out of it. It's not too big of a deal-just an inconvenience.

    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.

    I've used applied tam and EPIC. I believe EPIC is the NEW TAM? I love both products. I think Epic is a little bit more user-friendly and less clicking. TAM wanted to make an "activity" for everything-where Epic I feel like the choice is yours, which really frees up some clutter/space on my home screen. I love both products though.
