Guidewire and Duck Creek are both commonly considered P&C core vendors. Duck Creek provides explicit public trust-center information and regularly references compliance and audit activity. Guidewire also references compliance and audit activity; in either case buyers should request the latest audit artifacts.
Majesco publishes a trust center with compliance artifacts; Guidewire and Majesco both use gated mechanisms for access to detailed reports. Vertafore provides distribution and MGA workflow tooling and is commonly used for agent/broker distribution and connectivity where a full core replacement is not planned.
Adoption trends: Guidewire has signaled increased activity in the MGA segment and positions InsuranceNow to address mid-market MGA needs. Independent coverage suggests rising interest among MGAs for core replacements or modernization projects.
