We had a trial period with CIPD HR-inform at the same time we had a trial period with XpertHR, and across a team of 8, we met and reviewed the differences between the two. The decision was unanimous towards XpertHR as we felt the support and guidance provided was much more …
CIPD resources are well-researched with citations and links to external research and provide valuable insights to HR professionals. The difference with XpertHR is the very practical nature of resources, particularly template letters and draft policies that can be put to use …
I have not used this platform personally but our HRD decided that XpertHR is a better platform to suit our needs. This led to cancelling that service and we're currently users of XpertHR.
I needed an equivalent to an advisor and "font of all knowledge". As most HR teams experience, we are exposed to a huge number of different scenarios and problems to solve and XpertHR has, so far fulfilled that. I hadn't used it before but know people who recommended it so …
CIPD Inform offers very similar servics but is much more cost effective. Whilst XpertHR remains the main tool for us CIPD are stating to make an impact on this market.
Xpert Hr is efficient and quick. It provides more examples than any other application or supportive tool. It id also good when you want to compare opinions with other products since normally the answer are not contradictory but help to enriched the answer. Xpert HR works easily …
I have not directly used it but used it by passing on questions and queries to my HR network to obtain their advice. Often I felt that they do not provide direct advice to directly address my concerns or queries but more generic feedback that might be applicable or not. I think …
XpertHR has more templates and topics to look through and review. The information available is more comprehensive and up-to-date. The language used is easy and user-friendly. Has add-ons like free webinars, lots of tools and examples, and free legal advice compared to the CIPD …
When comparing services to use it was important to have something that was relevant to the sector we work in, we found that XpertHR was the most relevant and had specific information that would benefit us compared to CIPD which is more generic and does not give a lot of …

Chose Brightmine
I found HR Inform not comprehensive enough for our needs and Croner was very expensive. I also did not feel that despite the cost, Croner was detailed enough and I found the library/documents section lacking.
other platforms do not provide the same value for money, it is not user friendly and doesnt seem to be as informative. XpertHR is easy to use and it simplifies things, and doesnt always talk with a legal stance. It easily guides you through the process and allowing you to learn …
XpertHR has far exceeded any previous employment advice system I have used previously because of the sheer amount of resources available online. There's not any topic/issue I've come across so far that i haven't been able to find useful best practice guides on and/or tempalte …
I like the CIPD HR inform, and in terms of cost, this platform is considerably cheaper. However, the factor that triggers the choice of XpertHR is the Employment Law Advice Line being manned by solicitors. I have used Croner in a previous role, and generally, in terms of …
XpertHR is very similar, it is a better presented product but comes at a considerable cost in comparison. For that reason, we are looking at alternatives for our renewal.
The other platform was not as intuitive as XpertHR so searching was troublesome. The documents on the other platform would have typos and could be out of date. There was no assurance the documents were legally checked before publication as they are on XpertHR. The overall …
XpertHR is well suited to providing a good starting point for introducing a new policy or reviewing an existing one. The content organization helps reduce the risk of overlooking relevant considerations. A section on Trending topics provides a helpful prompt to keep current on current issues. The regular email alerts are sound, too, flagging up new resources.
The website is so easy to use and navigate through. I check this website weekly on the states i am responsible for and it is so well organized to quickly find those states. I also use this to check up on information with policies and laws i run into and all the information is quick and easy to find
It is almost always available when I need it. I have only ran into 2 situations where i received an error message and could not get logged in but was told this was a widespread issue that would quickly be resolved
Everything loads quickly and is exactly where i need it to be. I like how the sidebar breaks down different sections of policies for each state to help me find what i am looking for or gives suggestions or documents to review that may also be helpful
I reached out to Brightmine support when i could not get logged in and i received a personal response within hours that was very helpful! I love that it was a real person and not automated. This type of support makes me feel that their support team truly cares about getting issues fixed timely
The people on the call training us were very friendly and knowledgeable! They helped me learn of new tabs for finding templates to create new trainings to update departments on policies and procedures. It also has great excel sheets so i can see side by side differences between states regarding different laws and compensation changes.
I have not directly used it but used it by passing on questions and queries to my HR network to obtain their advice. Often I felt that they do not provide direct advice to directly address my concerns or queries but more generic feedback that might be applicable or not. I think their advice often provides multiple and vague outcomes but not tailored to the outcome the business wants
saves so much valuable time when updating policies which is huge as we have a small team and time is limited.
Normally, it saves time on hours or research as you can find it all on the site, including salary review data.
Reduces the cost of using employment lawyers all the time for policy updating and other advice.
It's like a one-stop shop that enables the user to find everything they need on a multitude of topics with extensive information that requires minimal time by the user, but to search for that information individually would take hours, if not days, in some cases.
