Applied Epic and HawkSoft are running neck-and-neck above a distant field.
Applied Epic and HawkSoft sit within 4 points of each other at the top, but they win in different ways: Applied Epic is the first-pick favorite at 61% while HawkSoft is mentioned in 83% of answers, suggesting it shows up consistently without dominating as the opening recommendation. Below those two, the drop is steep, with EZLynx scoring 45.6 and the remaining brands in the mid-to-low 30s. The clearest model-level outlier is Gemini, which scores Vertafore AMS360 at just 5.8 against ChatGPT's 51, signaling real disagreement across AI platforms on that brand's relevance.
