## Reviews

### "Guidewire Struggles" — 1.0/5

> **Broan** | *December 20, 2024* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: GW offers a consistent theme between all of their X-Centers. It is also fairly straightforward to navigate through their OOTB screens.
> 
> **Cons**: Their customer service has been almost nonexistent since our first lines started to convert to their cloud platform. There is no formal data dictionary or data model, meaning data is impossible to sort through or map with legacy detail. As a product owner their product is complicated in many of the wrong ways, in unnecessary rating complexity and deployment difficulties. We regularly have GW-hosted environments go down.
> 
> I would not recommend this software as it has too many holes out of the box, and extensions are difficult to build and manage.
