EZLynx Agency Management vs. Vertafore ReferenceConnect

Is user friendly but is a little pricey for a small agency. We use it for most of our operations. But is easy for new users to learn. Could update some of their training modules but compared to other programs they do offer more than some and is being updated routinely

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.

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

I have not had to use the support for Vertafore ReferenceConnect.

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.

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.
