At a glance
What we observed in this category
Guidewire and Duck Creek share the top position with identical visibility scores of 37.5%, each five times above the category average of 7.5%. Both hold a composite score of 26.2, creating a clear two-brand tier above all competitors. The next closest brand, Sapiens, sits at 25.0% visibility, meaning the gap between the top two and the rest is substantial. No brand outside the top three breaks double digits in visibility, confirming a heavily concentrated AI presence at the top of this category.
A notable divergence between visibility and citation exists across the top brands. Guidewire and Duck Creek each hold 0.0% citation rates despite their high visibility, meaning Google AI Mode names them frequently but does not anchor responses with links to their domains. Sapiens is the only top-five brand earning any citation share at 12.5%, placing it in a stronger trust position than its visibility rank suggests. Majesco, OneShield, and Oracle Insurance show the reverse pattern, with 0.0% visibility but 12.5% citation each, indicating they are referenced as sources but not named as leading solutions.
Google AI Mode is the dominant engine across all 20 brands in this category, with every brand listing it as their top engine. The cited sources anchoring AI responses lean heavily on analyst and review platforms, with gartner.com and g2.com appearing first among the top cited sources. Niche insurtech publications including insurtechdigital.com and insuranceandtechguide.com also feature prominently, suggesting the AI draws heavily on sector-specific content rather than vendor-owned domains when constructing responses about policy administration software.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
