Lexis Nexis is the most popular among insurance agents although vertafore and applied systems are also popular.
Answer
I use Quicken for retail agency accounting purposes and vendor (insurer) provided software, usually via web from the insuring company for quoting and policy management. The companies spend thousands of dollars developing proprietary software for use by their agents so there is no need to spend time and money to duplicate their efforts.
Answer
It really just depends on the agents preference. I don't know of any agents who use lexis nexis as mentioned above and I know several hundred agents.
Most of the agency specific software out there is way over priced and either does not provide the capabilities needed by an agent or provides capabilities far above what a retail agent would ever need or want. You can't just buy it, you have to subscribe and pay them hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars every month depending on what you think you need.
Most agents don't require any software at all other than for their own in house accounting which can be bought off the shelf for a one time fee. The rating and underwriting capabilities required are generally provided by the insuring companies the agent represents. Almost all have gone to a web based platforms.
There are literally hundreds of software offerings available for insurance agents use.
Vendor Provided Insurance Software
If you are a captured Agent representing only one insurance company, you may be required by your agency contract to purchase whatever software the company has developed for it's agents.
If you are an independent agent, then the company will never require you purchase a software package, they will give you free access and log-in capability to whatever platform they use. You just use whatever you want. They don't care as long as your sending them business.
