We LOVE Eclipse!
Their training staff and customer service employees are amazing! Their rep has been so helpful to our agency in navigating the ins and outs of the software.
Pros
This software is very easy to use and has all the features we need to manage our book of business efficiently.
Cons
After using Eclipse for a year, we have yet to find anything that we do not like about it.
Alternatives Considered
EZLynxReasons for Switching to Eclipse
The person who did the demonstration when we were choosing between EZLynx and Eclipse just seemed to be more interested in our needs than with the other product. They were more willing to explain the settings and customization options. It was also much more affordable for our agency!- Industry: Media Production

A bit dated, but still solid
I developed several apps for Android using Eclipse. More recently, I have used it to develop for Roku.
Pros
I like the fact that there are so many plugins for Eclipse, it is a real Swiss army knife of an IDE. I started off using it to develop for Android before Android Studio was released, but have used it for a variety of different projects now.
Cons
It feels a bit clunky compared to IDEs like Android Studio. Maybe it is the fact that it can be used to do so many things, but it can be a bit of a jack of all trades.

Maximize efficiency, productivity and profits.
Believe it or not, our agency has been with Eclipse for 21 years!! I have been with our agency for 14 years. Having experienced other client management systems prior, I found Eclipse to be easy to use and understand. It is methodical and makes sense. The support staff is exceptional in knowledge, willingness to help or find answers, to address problems, and friendly.
Obviously, things have changed over the years, but Eclipse is on board with all types of technology advancements. They do the vetting for us, define what is most beneficial and then offers it to us, the customer, in a customizable package specific for our Agency's needs. When I started in this agency, we were not using all the capabilities. Over time, with training and help, we were able to become more and more efficient.
We've also been able to attend several of the User Conferences over the years. I would highly recommend taking advantage of these conferences. You can meet with a community of people to see how the system is being used in their agency and exchange ideas. You can meet with and learn from the team at Eclipse. I am very satisfied with our relationship with Eclipse. We've had absolutely no reason to look for a different Client Management System.
NASA - Eclipse understands the needs of agencies and have been able to anticipate the uses in an agency setting. They continue to be pertinent in our industry.
Pros
This software allows us to be so much more efficient. Our records are accurate. Our Bookkeeping system is efficient, verifiable, combines with invoicing and billing. There is integration between most of our carriers reducing filing time and mailing time. We can run analytics to focus marketing efforts which all contribute to our ability to be more productive as an agency.
Cons
At times, we've had connectivity issues primarily because our situation as a bank-owned agency requires us to have an extra layer of security, but the support staff at NASA/Eclipse is so willing to work with our IT team. They are responsive to us in the agency. Always willing to address our questions and needs.

Best Agency Management System, by far
New employees can jump right in. It is that easy to operate. A customer and all their policies are on the first screen on a 'tree'. Click on it and it expands to show more detail than even an insurance dec does. Want to see a real dec? You can save it as an attachment to the policy number!!
Pros
This system was written to flow in a daily agency workday. Customer searches are easy and for that difficult one you just can't name, you can use their address or policy number and other ways to find them. Cross references are excellent. Texting, emailing, documentation with drag drop and great tools. I prefer in house file storage and as such the montly fee is very affordable. Support questions are answered by THE PERSON that answers the phone. I remember the old, leave a message and we will call you from a big, expensive vendor. As I said..this system is for agencies, not some programmer's idea of what you need.
Realtime is almost seamless. The home page is a virtual snapshot of your tasks of the day.
Cons
It has many, many reports available. So don't get me wrong on this con: there is a built in 'report maker' that literally can do ANY report. But it is a custom report maker, so you do have to learn the fields to make it work. This is really not huge, because a call to support will help you on the spot. Once that report is done, it is saved for next time. So the con is this simple...you might have to make your own if 'your wish' is not in the extensive list of canned reports.
Beyond that..Eclipse is awesome.

Eclipse is the best!
I have realized that our office is able to document and keep track of things in a great way and it makes organizing our insurance office much easier.
Pros
The best thing about Eclipse software from NASA is that there are so many functions available for all types of documenting, reporting, etc.
Cons
As with any program software there are some hiccups but the customer support is always available for help with minimal to no wait time at all.

Easiest system to use!
I have used a few different agency management systems over the course of my career and Eclipse is by far the easiest of all to learn to use. The system is very literal which makes it easy for new users to figure out which cuts down on training time in the office. They also have a phenomenal support team to help with any issues.
Pros
This system is very easy to use, it doesn't take much time to learn on your own BUT you don't have to since they provide on deck training!
Cons
There are some system restrictions that could make the system a tiny bit more effective such as being able to run reports by user rather than production.

Eclipse in Michigan
Versus prior management system, we have become more efficient, fewer steps with documentation procedures. In addition the support staff has been very helpful, even for a quick question via email or a phone call.
Pros
Ease of use. The ability to both email and text from the client file. The ability for customer follow up to have input in chronological order by user vs creating a new follow up. Interface with both company website and to comparison rater. Accounting is not Quick Book, yet the ability to make corrections if an error exists.
Cons
Commercial policy input. Inability to be logged in at more than one workstation at a time. Timing out of real time transaction stamp for the customer file activity.

Eclipse has everything needed, and some extra benefits as well.
At this point, we use Eclipse for everything. The feature that I personally like the best is the ability to drill down in reports to get the information that I need to cross-market to existing policies.
Pros
Eclipse is a very intuitive platform to use. From creating new accounts (prospects or customers) to scheduling follow up contacts with my customers, and everything in between. It flows well, and makes my life easier in so many ways.
Cons
I do wish I could get to the customer file from the follow-up section on the main screen.

NASA Eclipse
This Agency Management system is great for a smaller insurance agency. It is less expensive than the bigger competitor's products. Also, you don't have to log a phone call, and wait for a return phone call (not knowing when you'll get one). They answer the phone and work with you in real-time.
Pros
This software is very user friendly. If there is ever a capability that we would like, they take that under consideration, when they are doing a software update.
Cons
There really isn't anything that I don't totally like.

Eclipse
Pros
Our agency uses Eclipse Management System through NASA. Customer Service is outstanding- whenever I call in with a question, they are very helpful and polite. The system is very user friendly! It is a must have with our agency!
Cons
I have used this software for 5 years and don't really have anything I don't like. If I don't know how to do something (like run a report) I call customer service and they will login and do it for me.

Overall Eclipse is a great tool to utilize in our daily operations. Pulling reports isn't easy but support will walk you through everything and setup training with you.
Pros
I appreciate many aspects of the software. I like the reminders and the tasks.
Cons
The reports are a pain to generate. We have several that we have saved thanks to the support team but anything new needs support to build.

Excellant
The customer service is awesome, they walk you through any issues you have and they are very good at explaining their software and if you call NASA they will show you short cuts you can use in eclipse. For example: last week I called for some help and she showed me how to create a attachment fold in my C drive. Now I will never forget to attach because it will stay in my folder if I haven't attached yet.
Pros
Once you get use to Eclipse if starts to become a lot easier and you realize how useful and helpful it can be if you learn all about it and use it correctly.
Cons
so far, after 7 months of using it I do not have any cons about the software.

Excellent Management System
We couldn't be happier!
Pros
We recently switched to NASA from a competitor management system and the customer service at NASA is second to none. I also love that you're connected with a live person when you call directly instead of a switchboard.
Cons
The overall look of Eclipse could be a little more flashy, if you will, but other than that, we have no complaints.
