### "It does downloads and clock in/ clock out features. "

January 11, 2018

2.0

Nothing truly special about this software other than the lower priced entry point compared to other management systems and their mobile friendliness isn't very friendly since the software is cut off. If money is not a major concern and you know you will be spending a good chunk of mooney on this type of system anyway, stay away from agency matrix

Cons

Customer service is horrible. They will ask you to follow the video instructions provided with the software which is bad enough but then to top it off the video's are out of date to the point that you cannot follow them along, so then you email their support team and they either ignore you, provide a false answer or say they will reach out to you but never do that either.

### "Current user"

June 2, 2020

5.0

It is better than what we had but not as good as what I had hoped for

Pros

The overall system is fairly easy to use. There are some functions that are user friendly. You would hope that the systems would work much like the usual systems business people are used to in daily business.

Cons

The fact that the email and custom letter features are not compatible with usual business systems like Outlook or Word makes it difficult. A great deal of repetitive entry. Drop down boxes that do not relate to what you would think multiple entries to get to the system to work.

Reason for choosing Agency Matrix

I do not recall all the products we looked at. We did look at the ITC product and found it not up to what we wanted

[Agency Advantage](https://www.capterra.com/p/234865/The-Agency-Advantage/)

Agency Advantage was not making any improvement that they had promised for years to make and in order for us to really grow we needed a system that was more adaptive to the current time. AM is far better but still has a way to go on both the reporting side and the marketing side.

### "Leaving Matrix"

September 25, 2024

3.0

Not very happy with them. The system slowness of opening attachments, not getting training for certain aspects like commissions or certificates. Had to learn a lot on our own or try to reach out to people. They should have a lot more training up front. Also, price discrepancy when we asked for our data extraction to leave. They want $2500. We were told from another agency they only charged $500. I personally would spend the extra money and go to another platform.

Pros

I liked that it was web based. The main client screens are easy to understand.

Cons

The slowness when opening attachments, sending emails looked very funny from the system and we never utilized it, turbo rater was awful to use with the system. Originally, we were told it had Progressive on their rater for Minnesota and they did not. We were lied to. They only had Wisconsin Progressive, not the easiest to do certificates. Not the easiest to do commissions. Also, not a lot of companies downloaded into their system, nor did they download in attachments to client files.

### "Good Value"

June 5, 2020

5.0

When I started my agency , I had experience with several different agency management systems, most were out of my price range as a new startup. I researched several and found Agency Matrix on line. The functions and price fit my needs very well. I have been using them for almost 7 yrs and I am very pleased. I have recommended this system to many of my fellow agents and most have signed up.

Pros

Easy to use platform, Cloud storage and backup, can access from multiple devises and locations.

Cons

I have to add products and companies for each carrier. would be nice if I only had to enter a company and products once and be able to add to different carriers /mgas.

### "Best Agency Management we have used!!"

June 2, 2020

5.0

Having Agency Matrix as our agency management system for over 5 years has helped us manage things with ease. Out of all the software systems we have used prior to Agency Matrix, this is by far the easiest to use, best value, and the customer service if there is any issue, is always on top of things and resolutions are swift.

Pros

The ease of use and multiple options available for agency management are awesome.

Cons

So far, we love all the aspects of the software.

Reason for choosing Agency Matrix

There is really no comparison. Agency Matrix is by far superior to the Jenesis Software in all aspects. We are just glad we had the opportunity to find Agency Matrix when we did and are defiantly 100% satisfied with the service.

### "NOT FOR PROFESSIONALS"

March 18, 2024

3.0

In the beginning, Agent Matrix was good and agent-focused. After a few years, ITC purchased the company and the updates/upgrades began. They would roll them out before testing, so agents would suffer features not working, new bugs continuously popping up, and the system being down for hours and sometimes days. Then, in 2022/2023, Zywave bought ITC and their companies. That's when the outages stopped, but the upgrades/updates became so much more frequent, and they no longer care about their clients or the business of their clients. For example, today is 03/18/24, and this morning, we received a message from Zywave that the system will be offline on 3/19/24 from 11am-3pm. ON A TUESDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! There's no way to run an agency when you are at the mercy of a company that doesn't answer to their actions but makes sure to call you ONLY when your payment doesn't go through.

Pros

The system is cloud-based and works fast compared to our old system.

Cons

No customer service no management to speak with, ever constantly going down constantly under maintenance perform maintenance in the middle of the workday

Reason for choosing Agency Matrix

They were reasonably priced, and they offered a great upgrade based on what we previously had.

Agency Advantage was very slow and not cloud-based. We made the switch around 2014/2015

### "You get what you pay for"

September 15, 2021

3.0

The amount of money we pay monthly is appropriate to the overall experience we get with Agency Matrix. Their customer service is average, the quality of the application is average, and variety of different functions it serves is average. If you are looking to be AMAZED by an agency management system, then try something else. But, if you have some employees who cannot handle complex software and you have other supporting software for things like electronic signature requests, document generation like declarations and id cards, and file storage, then you will really like Agency Matrix's stripped-down approach to doing a good job of simply housing your clients profile information and policies at a really affordable price.

Pros

The monthly cost of Agency Matrix is less than half of that for other agency management systems. Our team had little problem learning how to use the system after only a few basic training sessions.

Cons

Every update they have done has led to serious system outages, glitches, and causing tasks to take 2x to 5x longer because it is so slow or makes you have to redo them over and over. There are many times that our agents have posted notes in the system one day, and then they are not there the next. The last update made it so downloads timed out after each individual one (a 5-10 minute task of reconciling downloads took about 2-3 hours).

Reason for choosing Agency Matrix

Ultimately, we were an agency that did not need a lot of bells and whistles at the time we purchased Agency Matrix. It was the most cost efficient option out there and really had all of the basic functions that we needed. Even though our agency has grown, we have simply purchased other software to perform any additional functions.

### "The importance of good communication"

May 28, 2020

3.0

Many of the features in Matrix do not fully function, DocMatrix is one we have been trying to get working for 6 months now with no timetable for completion. Our website lead generator is a project we have been working on for 15 months and may be completed soon. These are functionalities that were presented to us by the Matrix team and then it just disappears off thier calendars.

Pros

I have been using the system for over 5 years and like the compared to other systems out in the market. The videos in most cases allow you to setup your agency in a long weekend and minor tweaks afterwards to fully take advantage of the system.

Cons

Most companies fail because of a lack of good communication. Matrix has made a habit of making changes without letting the end user know what they are changing and how it will affect this business until it has already happened. Yesterday was a perfect example, the intergration with 1 or 2 finance companies completly disabled all 2700 of my financed accounts from taking payments. We were told by 3 people they would call back before the end of the day, that did not happen. We found a work around but it had a major inpact on our agency with no notice.

Reason for choosing Agency Matrix

I choose Matrix because in the begining, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was avaliable and things that were promised got done, recently that follow through seems to be lacking. I put on the Nationwide agents Facebook page in 2018 when they announced agents needed to find a management system that Matrix should be considered. I wonder if they have grown to fast and forgotten why people like me made that reccomendation.

### "Always improving"

May 28, 2020

4.0

My experience is great. They do listen and want to make the system better.

Pros

I started when they were very new. There are a lot added options for those who have the time to figure it out. All information is where I need it. I like to automated emails I can send for renewals.

Cons

There are too many options. I don't have the time to learn everything about the system.

### "NON-Existent Customer Support, Impossible to Setup, Lost My existing Database and we are only able to leave a message for support"

November 2, 2023

1.0

Pros

We were literally sold a bag of goods from \[sensitive content hidden\] saying that our existing agency management software was being "sunsetted" and we will no longer have access to our own client base. The price was TRIPLE what we were paying but felt pressured into switching, literally being told "we will shut it down and you will not have access to your client base after the first of the year".

Cons

We had a 30 minute call from \[sensitive content hidden\] who identified herself as being "our Project Manager" and explained the process and would "be with you from start to finish to make sure you are online". We have not heard back from her again, called the company who said we "needed to speak with your project manager", left countless messages, sent countless emails....all UNRETURNED.

### "Agency Matrix is crucial to growth"

May 29, 2020

5.0

So far exceeded expectations. Almost made a mistake buying a different product that was offering all but delivering nothing except an expensive 2-3 months. Luckily I was able to extract myself and get Agency Matrix.

Pros

Agency Matrix has been around for a few years. I had been very loyal to prior product but it became clear it was not keeping up with new technology. The new product, while a bit pricey, it is more technologically advanced and comes with training and training videos. Very intuitive.

Cons

Some imbedded products are best to use outside sources, like the texting and telephony option.

### "If it works, why fix it?"

May 28, 2020

5.0

It has been great fun learning all the different functions of the software. We are not using but maybe 50% if that, of the capabilities but it is too consuming to take the time to learn things. We are busy.

Pros

I like that everything is on one page per client. I also like that there are videos to teach an individual how to use the software. But...who has time for videos? Not me.

Cons

The reports are not as easy to work up as you would think. It is not easy to break down what you want or to separate when trying to do a report and print tasks.

May 28, 2020

4.0

Pros

I like how you can configure the software to your needs. Wish it could be more customizable to really be tailored to what my companies needs are. The email automation is a cool feature.

Cons

Wish it could be more customizable to really be tailored to what my companies needs are. Adding Ins companies could be more streamline. It has a lot of features that are not usable or were programmed for bigger companies and mean nothing to me. Had issues in the beginning, they forgot to schedule additional training on features. Had to hunt them down to get it done.

Functionality has always been good, since the buy out it has been horrible and I no longer want to use the software or the company. Currently looking for a new CRM just because the support level is zero.

Pros

I like the amount of features that can be utilized inside the software. I like that it’s pretty easy to navigate.

Cons

Understanding the features. A lot of the features are overwhelming and do not understand what the workflow is or how to best use the system.
