    [Applied] Epic is great for holding information but it does take time to enter data correctly if you want to be able to complete reports accurately[.]

    Salesforce Financial Services Cloud is really helpful when it comes to projections for our business. In order to cover our office overheads, we try to project sales leads becoming opportunities and closed and won sales for each quarter so we can ensure all targets are met and obligations too.

    Pros
    Applied Systems
    • Account Management - I like the way the system organizes the data for each account. It is easy to search and find any client we are looking for and then once within that record, it is easy to navigate to the necessary policy or screen.
    • Task Management - once everyone was trained and on the same page, the ability to move tasks within the system from one person to the next really helps with the "passing the baton" from one team member to another. The task will come right up on the initial screen so the user knows they have something new to do.
    • Reporting - the system drives the majority of the reporting we do as an agency and it is great when working within the system.

    Cons
    Applied Systems
    • 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.

    • Automation. There is room to automate certain processes that require manual executions.
    • Implementation. It is hard and requires a 3rd party to help to implement which is costly.

    It is very user friendly. You can go from beginner to efficient user in a short period of time. I like the option of a desktop application as well as the web app

    It does its job but could be better. I think it all comes down to each business configuration of the platform.

    Support Rating
    Applied Systems
    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.

    I think it's much easier to use applied epic then TAM. More user-friendly and more intuitive. I feel Applied Epic is a much more productive solution.

    We haven't used anything previously to Salesforce. We were trying to implement what we needed as a company with our current ticketing and quoting software, but it wasn't doing what we needed. Once we found Salesforce we were able to really dial in on the important things needed as a company.

    Return on Investment
    Applied Systems
    • Consolidated from multiple systems to one for P&C - reduced spend on maintenance of those systems and centralized our support making life easier for IT.
    • Positive impact on the time spent actually putting information into the system. Previously TAM was used and that system was hard to navigate and use.
