### "Great Value and Easy To Use"

January 24, 2021

5.0

Absolutely fantastic. Easy to use and understand. The JenesisNow GUI is pleasant and customizable without being overly complex. I did not feel like I was needing to re-invent the wheel.

Pros

The ability to store documents related to an individual policy is very important for our agency. We have a number of clients that have multiple properties and other solutions did not allow this feature. We can also "tag" each policy with its address and simply hover over the record to see which property the policy relates to. I also have to mention the ACORD forms are spectacular.

Cons

New and renewal commissions reports are not available unless the underwriting company is downloading comp through IVANS. There is a work around with manual calculations but an automatic process would be better. However, my understanding is that this is in process and may be resolved in the next few months.

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

It has the functionality that we really needed without the insane price tag that came with some of the other options. NowCerts was a good option but it is so robust that my staff found the learning curve a bit steep.

Sold my Allstate agency. Plus eAgent does not have the functionality that we really needed.

### "Satified Cutomer"

June 13, 2023

5.0

Overall, we have been able to maintain our book of business through the easy storage of information for each of our customers, and being able view their information in real time.

Pros

This software offers an ease of information needed for our customer's all in one place. For example, forms such as Certificates of Insurance or Evidence of Property are available to be printed for each customer listed in the system as well as policy downloads that automatically update on a daily basis.

Cons

If the system could calculate the total loss ratio per insurance company that we write for, that would be amazing.

Alternatives considered

[Applied TAM](https://www.capterra.com/p/212588/Applied-TAM/)

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

Pricing was better with Jenesis for the amount of benefits being offered, and due to being a smaller business, it fit into the functions that are needed to run a successful business.

its ok but I've used better

Pros

I like that we can put detailed information in

### "Why Jenesis won my AMS search"

October 23, 2023

5.0

I love the platform, and Gia my trainer was awesome, very helpful and fun, we had a good time. You guys gave a great set up.

Pros

The functionality and ease of the platform along with the integrations of other software I use daily. Let's not forget the help and understanding of the Jenesis staff.

Cons

I am looking forward to being able to integrate my Office 365 calendar to the platform calendar.

[Agency Matrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/50949/Agency-Matrix/)

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

I used Matrix for many years when I worked for another agency, before starting my own. The use and likability of the Jenesis platform made it a no brainer.

Switched from

[QQCatalyst](https://www.capterra.com/p/36109/QQCatalyst/)

The platform of QQ was not to my liking and when I found Jenesis and watched the video and read the reviews I was half way sold. What sold me on the other half was the prompt contact, knowledge, and friendliness of everyone I spoke with.

February 5, 2024

Excellent. Never had a problem or issue.

Pros

Everything. From ease of use to the friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Cons

Nothing. Jenesis is easier to use than Epic or AMS 360

Switched from

[Applied Epic](https://www.capterra.com/p/70671/Applied-Epic/)

Ease of use. Epic is good. Just never could speak to the same person. At Jenesis you know all of the folks that are part of the Jenesis team.

### "So Glad We Use Jenesis!"

June 12, 2023

5.0

I have worked on several other customer databases. Jenesis gives us what we need at a reasonable price. We rely on Jenesis daily for all customer-related tasks. We would be lost without Jenesis!

Pros

Jenesis is reliable and makes a complicated job more convenient.

Cons

I wish the names in the suspenses were a link where you click them and it takes you directly to their file.

### "Fantastic Insurance Management System"

December 13, 2020

5.0

We are so grateful we put this into place well ahead of the pandemic! It allows us to work from anywhere and have the crucial answers we need quickly for our client requests. We also appreciate the continual improvements that we all benefit from on an ongoing basis.

Pros

This software is easy to use and helps us have the ability to quickly see what our clients need. Since we are an independent agency, we have multiple companies to coordinate. JenesisNow brings it all together in one place. We also appreciate customer service - emails, chat feature, phone calls..... they are always there to help when we need it.

Cons

There is a slight learning curve that can only improve from daily use even after certifying in the software system.

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

Reviews; pricing structure for our newer agency needs; and the ability to grow with us into the future. We also really appreciated the customer service once we contacted Jenesis for a demo. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is fantastic and helped us to know which system would be right for us. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is still always there for us along with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and others from the JenesisNow support system.

### "Jenesis software is hard to beat at the price level"

July 19, 2021

4.0

They are quick to assist on IT with good follow up and the system works pretty well within our agency.

Pros

Jenesis has a robust platform with a low cost. It is adequate for most smaller agencies. They are also easy to work with.

Cons

Although I certainly have a Jenesis "Wish List", they are quick to add functionality that makes sense and continue to build out the system with updates so the Jenesis Now version (which I believe was brand new 3-4 years ago) continues to evolve.

Alternatives considered

[Vertafore AMS360](https://www.capterra.com/p/113472/Vertafore-AMS360/)

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

Mostly due to cost and there assurance they would continue to improve the J Now system and they have.

### "Good Software Great Technical Support Team!"

July 25, 2019

4.0

Overall, Jenesis is a great software. Their team is fantastic and we have used them for 12 years. To see how far that they have come in the software is unbelievable. Their team is fantastic and always willing to help with any software issues and updates monthly.

Pros

This software does a lot from agency management and employee management, to quoting, to policy servicing. Works with IVANS. The technical support team does a great job about helping with any questions or making changes to software to better serve agencies. They actually take suggestions and implement them much more than other softwares.

Cons

Software lacks in commercial functionality. They continue to improve commercial account servicing though and are on their way to making it a great system for commercial. Life and Health is a challenge in the software but bare basic functionalities are there.

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

Local company, decent system, dedication to it's agents. Going through a large corporation like AMS or Applied, you don't get the same level of technical support and customer service.

### "Jenesis first customer for life of program"

June 9, 2023

5.0

It has been a pleasure working with \[sensitive content hidden\] and the rest of the team. I love that they want to hear from their customers as to what we would like to see and actually have some of those ideas implemented in the system.

Pros

We love the ease of having all our customer files all in one easy location to find. We have a clean and neat way to file for each customer. Rating has been made much easier, keeping up with the money that is taken in on a daily basis. We love everything about Jenesis

Cons

That we still do not have the ability to quote Progressive Insurance through Jenesis (this is not a Jenesis issue this is a Progressive issue)

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

When this was offered to us we were not even aware that products like this were available. We started with Jenesis in 1999 or 2000

August 7, 2023

5.0

Overall I would say getting things set up took a bit; working with the system is pretty easy.

Pros

I love the suspense items - you can open an old one to add to it.

Cons

Integration with our existing business was a bit bumpy. It took awhile for us to understand all the processes.

October 14, 2021

5.0

The set up was easy, I loved the communication they gave as well as you can call and speak with a live person!

Pros

It keeps all my client information. This system is truly an all in 1 system

Cons

I have no complaints at all. From the start, everything was a great experience.

Reason for choosing Jenesis Software

Jenesis showed me more and I saw first hand how easy Jenesis would be out of the gate. Change in the middle of a busy Agency is complicating in its self and I felt confident that this program was going to make things not only easier for me but my level of work within the change was not going to be overwhelming at all and it wasn't. In fact with Jenesis, my work load with the Ivans downloading software made life so much easier.

### "Jenesis Overall "

August 1, 2019

4.0

Al together Jenesis is a good I will not say great Agency Mgmnt System, I enjoy many features on it for the simplicity that it gives my overall work day, but at the same time I do have the issues with some of the everyday work load, for which i can not name any at this given time, but I will start keeping a log and be better informed. For the next review.

Pros

I had honestly not used the Quote control function, due to it having some issues the times that I had tried it, but in the last couple of months I have been able to use it with not so many issues and I like the fact that it quotes all my companies at once. I like the process of being able to scan/save documents to images with ease.

Cons

One thing I however do not like about the quote control is that its ratings on some of our companies is not accurate, and there for I have had issues with clients being told 1 price and then when we go in to process the application it gives us another price. Also one issue we have had problems with is when we go in to make a change it is not processed sometimes at the time it is done. Especially if a renewal offer is already in place.

Pros

Very easy to use, it gives you all the tools you need to help you manage your business. The communications feature is my favorite because it allows us to stay in front of our customers.

Cons
