Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Jenesis Software

  • The base fee is charged per physical agency location rather than per organisation, so an agency with three small branches pays three base fees on top of every seat and the effective cost per user rises sharply as it opens offices.
  • Carrier download coverage is narrower than Applied Epic or Vertafore AMS360, so agencies with a long tail of regional carriers keep manually entering policies for the carriers Jenesis does not support and never reach a clean single source of policy data.
  • Reporting is limited to fixed operational reports, so an agency that wants book of business analysis by producer, carrier profitability or retention cohorts has to export data and build it in a spreadsheet each month.
  • There is no accounting general ledger, so agency bill trust accounting is reconciled in QuickBooks or similar alongside the system and the two records drift unless someone reconciles them deliberately.
  • Export options for a full data extract are constrained, which makes migrating away or being acquired by a larger agency a manual data project rather than a supported handover, and this only becomes visible at the point of exit.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Jenesis Software: Does Jenesis publish its price?

Yes. JenesisNow Basic is roughly 50 US dollars per user per month and Pro roughly 70, which is unusual in agency management systems. What is not published is the base fee charged per physical agency location, and you must ask for that figure before comparing.

Tarmika: How much does Tarmika cost?

Tarmika does not publish pricing on its website. Customers are directed to schedule a demo or contact the sales team directly to discuss pricing.

Source
Jenesis Software: Can it replace Applied Epic or AMS360?

Only for small agencies. It lacks the accounting, benefits, surplus lines and reporting depth those systems carry, and most agencies migrating up rather than down leave Jenesis somewhere around twenty staff.

Tarmika: Does Tarmika offer a free trial or demo?

Tarmika offers the option to schedule a demo with the company to learn more about features and discuss pricing.

Source
Jenesis Software: Does it do comparative rating?

No. It passes data to third party raters such as EZLynx rather than producing carrier quotes itself, so you still licence a rater separately.

Jenesis Software: Is agency accounting included?

Only receipting, invoicing and basic receivables. There is no general ledger, so trust accounting is normally kept in a separate accounting package.
