Vertafore Agency Platform vs. Zywave Content Cloud - Employee Benefits Content Packages (Broker Briefcase)

It is user friendly. Vertafore needs to offer more free new user training - the videos are helpful but not as good as a real person.

It's a great tool, period. I'd recommend it to anyone who was going to take the time to utilize its varied resources. I wouldn't recommend it for an old-school agency that's not really tech savvy but for anyone looking to grow a book of business, it's an invaluable tool.

• The employee education pieces are an awesome way to prepare employees for new benefit options like HSAs and HRAs.
• The Compliance Roadmap is an excellent tool and is hugely appreciated by my small and middle market clients without full HR suites.

• It's pretty darn good and it's my fault that I don't use it as much as I should. I'd love for it somehow to integrate more into my routine but I'm not sure what Zywave could do on their end about that.

Its very good. They have teams for each software product they offer. They have specific teams available for specific tasks such as data migrations, upgrades, etc. The employees they hire for their support teams are always knowledgeable about their products and are good to work with. They also speak clear english which is a plus when details matter and an incorrect or misunderstood word/phrase could cause issues.
