Review of Guidewire by an Business Analyst

Pros:
The Guidewire software is very easy to use. It is very user friendly and covers the functionalities in most efficient way. It doesn't change its user experience drastically as the line of business changes so its easy to work with.
Cons:
The complexities of insurance business makes any product which it has in the industry makes it complex. Guidewire is a complex product overall. It requires a basic training of the functionalities of the product to work with.
Worst system -Run fast away
Pros:
In the quoting function the prior insurance reports are very helpful for underwriting purposes. The digital signature function is also a positive when issuing new business.
Cons:
The system is very slow. When quoting coverage and making any changes to coverage options the system must completely refresh, this is very unproductive as just revising a quote can take well over an hour and this process should be a matter of a few minutes. This system cannot differentiate between a primary driver and an occasional driver, result is higher premiums to the consumer. Inconsistency when quoting, pricing changes nearly every time you review a quote. When quoting, this system doubled the time it takes to do a simple quote. This system is not efficient for the front end user. They need an agents forum, this system misses the mark completely and hinders productivity.
