Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Ivans
- Applied Systems owns both Ivans and competing agency management systems, so the neutral infrastructure that every AMS depends on is controlled by one of the AMS vendors, a conflict that rival vendors have complained about for years.
- Download coverage is decided by carriers, not by Ivans or your AMS, so a carrier that does not publish a line simply does not download it and no amount of configuration in your system will fix it.
- Eligibility requires that you are appointed and writing the line in that state, meaning newly appointed agencies wait on carrier-side setup with little visibility into where the request sits.
- Data quality varies sharply by carrier, and agencies routinely find that some carriers send incomplete or oddly mapped policy data that then has to be cleaned inside the AMS, undermining the point of automating it.
- Pricing is opaque and largely invisible to agencies because it is bundled into AMS and carrier agreements, which makes it impossible to judge what the network actually costs your business or to negotiate it.
Majesco
- Majesco publishes no price anywhere on its own site for any product line, including its cloud CloudInsurer platform, Digital1st insurance platform, and Majesco Policy for L&A and Group; every path leads only to "Request a Demo" or "Contact Us" (archived brochure page, 18 May 2021)

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Ivans: Do agencies pay for Ivans?
Ivans Exchange is provided to agencies at no additional cost, with a noted exception for business written with Citizens of Florida. The economics sit with carriers and with the agency management system vendors.
Ivans: Why is a carrier not downloading?
Almost always eligibility or carrier-side publication: you must be appointed and writing that line in that state, and the carrier must publish that line for download. Check the connection status in Ivans Exchange first.
Ivans: Is Ivans owned by Applied Systems?
Yes. That matters because Applied also sells Applied Epic and EZLynx, so a competing AMS depends on infrastructure run by a competitor.
Ivans: Can you switch AMS and keep your downloads?
Connections have to be re-pointed to the new system, which is a per-carrier request through Ivans Exchange and is a common source of migration delay.
