Ebix SmartOffice vs. Life Design Analysis

It is excellent for account opening, document aggregation and storage, tracking and correspondence. It is lacking in its interface and is often not intuitive or user friendly. I have had difficulty running specialized reports in the past and have had to call customer service for issues that should be easy to solve on one's own. There sometimes be a tremendous delay when interfacing with other programs like Microsoft Word.

We recently showed a "potential client" who is now a client a comparison of an insurance product he was sold to a strategy we would have recommended and they were blown away at the difference. So much so, they cancelled the current product and went with our recommendation. The presentations are very powerful.

While we have considered making a change we did not see the merit in considering any other companies. Additionally, the pricing is so attractive it is hard for other companies to compete for our business. At no point in the last 10 years have we seriously considered making a change

I have never seen another product like Life Design Analysis and I don't believe there is another one out there that can do the same. If there is one, I would have a hard time believing it has the same features and capabilities as Life Design Analysis. (LDA) The reports are unmatched.
