This competitive benchmark study evaluates the top 10 small commercial insurance brands across four categories and tasks including functionality, ease of use, privacy and security, and support and access.

We have a continuous improvement mindset and are always looking for ways to innovate and do more for our small business customers and agency partners.”

The Hartford received Keynova Group’s top rating, significantly outperforming competitors across key areas of digital self-service including claims, payment, and account management, as well as the ability for prospects to easily obtain an online or mobile quote and conveniently buy small commercial insurance. The insurer also received acclaim for its proactive chat tools and virtual assistant, answering specific billing and policy questions.
