Chose Brightmine
Xpert HR is easier to use - both sites contain same information. They are both really good products. I used BLR HR Hero many years ago (over ten years ago). I do think it is easier to find what I am looking for in Xpert HR. The webinars will be a great tool that I am looking …
Chose Brightmine
I have enjoyed using XpertHR more than BLR. I have found the tools much more useful and easier to use than BLR. The best HR solution for you will depend on your organization's specific needs. However, I prefer XpertHR that helps me stay up-to-date on HR compliance, training, …

Brightmine
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.

  • Template policies are perfect, up to date and read very well

Cons

  • The employment law service is a bit too basic. The lawyer often gives you very basic or scripted advice that is not tailored to the situation needed
  • The functionality search sometimes is not great. You risk getting lost between hundreds of articles without finding what you really need
  • Sometimes the articles are too lengthy and you only need a very quick response

It's great and mostly user friendly. Some of the team have skipped over great information in there as the site was not as intuitive as expected, e.g. finding particular templates

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

WE only use it in HR but, I have no doubt that it could be scaled across other sites / teams.

  • 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.
