AppRanks verdict
Generated from live data on this pageneon edges out The Permissioner on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. On pricing, The Permissioner offers a free tier (free) while neon starts at paid. For early-stage stores or merchants validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real orders before committing budget.

- IF YOU'RE TIRED OF....duct-taping technology together. In the digital age, our systems need to do more than keep a record of policies. We need a system that combines every operational function of a modern agency into one.
- IF YOU'RE TIRED OF.....guessing what your people are doing. We need to understand more than the outcome: how many policies were created, modified, cancelled and renewed. We need to track behaviors. We need "Why" data, not just "What" data.
- IF YOU'RE TIRED OF.....endless carrier portals. Duplicate entry and being a "password janitor" is killing our margin. And the customer no longer waits. We need better, faster connectivity between agents and carriers.

Long-form description · keyword frequencyThe Permissioner
Permission Sets allow administrators to provide individual permissions in conjunction with profiles to enable access for certain users on an ad hoc basis, thus reducing a growing and unmanageable number of profiles in a Salesforce org. Standard Salesforce functionality allows administrators to assign permission sets to a single user at a time. The Permissioner dramatically reduces the time and frustration involved with assigning and revoking permission sets assignments to multiple users. Using a simple interface, administrators can select one or more permission sets to assign to one or more users at a time. When a permission set is selected and users are searched, only those users not already assigned to it will display in the list. This is useful when trying to assign more than 1000 users. With The Permissioner, life is made easy by assigning a permission set to as many users as needed from one intuitively simple screen. Functionality may be limited for orgs with over 25,000 users. Please email us at [email protected] if you have a high volume of users.

In 2016, an agency owner in Cleveland, Ohio said: "enough is enough." He was frustrated with the state of insurance technology and the lack of innovation. He had duct-taped together over 20 different pieces of technology. He had answered the "insurtech call-to-arms." But he still couldn't reach the promised land of efficiency and experience everyone spoke of. So, he decided to build it himself. In late 2017, he platformed his agency....and neon was born. In 2019, 15 just-as-frustrated agencies who saw the vision agreed to pilot neon in their agencies. And in 2020, 6 pilot carriers began the journey. neon is technology that takes a stand against the status quo. the age of indietech is here. Join us: www.batomic.com
