Hawksoft is my main program needed to do any work for our clients and it safely stores and organizes payments and documents provided for our plocies.

Pros

Working with over 50 companies it makes accessing client customer ID's easily to find to make payments and keep track of any changes done to policies.

Cons

Hawksoft makes it easy for us to manage all of our companies without it unfortunately it makes my job alot harder and adds in a million extra steps I am not trying due to. I effeciently can manage my time cutting down work.

We have been with Hawksoft since 2019 and it has been amazing to help us with our retention for client files and documents as well as a sales portal to keep up with prospecting and sales pipeline.

Pros

The multi feature use for accessing client files and also being able to report from that information!

Cons

Some of the tasks are still on a single clear feature and not a batch feature.

So easy to work with if you can understand the client on the phone. We can search clients by address or phone number.

Pros

Hawksoft makes it easy to find clients and manage other items the clients need all in one place and is user friendly.

Cons

Nothing that I dislike, we all had an easy time switching to this system

I switched from one of the big two and the only regret I have is not switching sooner. Current reports do not do historical changes currently.

Pros

The customer service is the most important part of hawksoft. They make you part of the family. It is an amazing family. The program is amazing, it works for our commercial, personal lines and they are growing with partners that help us automate.

Cons

They were amazing to transfer data. The software is not perfect, but it has been amazing and we love it.

I love hawksoft - super efficient and have never given me a problem

Pros

I came from captive world so does all was quite a shock but the software does what it says it will do

Cons

It seems like companies put way too many options and features into software these days like they have to give you every option in the world, I would like to find a company that just keeps it simple and a little more basic. There are 12 major tasks that are done in anb insurance agency each week and software these days does about 10,000. Warren Buffet does not even have a computer on his desk.

Thanks for leaving us such a great review, Lee! The HawkSoft system does include a lot of options - our goal is to allow agencies to set things up in whatever way works best with their workflows, rather than conforming their processes to our system. Many of our features are implemented due to feedback from real agencies who have requested them. There is always a learning curve for adopting a new system, but but our training guides and videos can help you get the basics down quickly. And you have consultation sessions with our implementation team across your first year to help you learn more once you've got that down! Feel free to let them know if there's anything your agency could use a little extra help on.

Overall HawkSoft CMS gets the job done and allows for a fairly seemless experience using parallels. If Parallels and HawkSoft CMS used the same logon info a lot of our complication we experienced would have gone away.

Pros

I did like that it launched via Parallels so I just had to install Parallels client and was able to get up and running. HawkSoft CMS itself was very consistent after we got in.

Cons

Configuration of Parallels client was a little bit of a pain and had to know a lot of little configuration options to get logged in. Also logon for HawkSoft CMS and Parallels was completely seperate so that made it confusing for our users at times.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Response from Vendor

August 13, 2021

Thanks for leaving us a review! We're sorry you found setting up Parallels a little tricky. Our Product Support team is always happy to help with the initial setup and configuration, and you do have the ability to customize your passwords for both Parallels and HawkSoft. We're also looking forward to releasing the fully cloud-based version of our system, which will no longer require logging in through Parallels.
