Chose Brightmine
Really impressed by the big consultancy products I've used.
Chose Brightmine
CIPD inform have more email updates and webinars.
Chose Brightmine
Better resources on Brightmine but I prefer to interface of CIPD Inform - it's easier to use and navigate
Chose Brightmine
It is much more cost effective and the resources are much easier to access and understand.
Chose Brightmine
We have been using Brightmine for 5 years now and we are happy with the services provided so far, and I believe this factors in the associated competitive prices.
Chose Brightmine
We like Brightmine because they are a global company and offers the most information for the countries where we have employees. Having a one-stop shop for all things compliance for all countries is essentially huge for us. As we grow, we know Brightmine will still be our go-to …
Chose Brightmine
Westlaw does not compare to the HR and handbook expertise of Brightmine. I rarely check Westlaw for those topics.
Chose Brightmine
Brightmine is more cost effective and has a wider variety of content and additions.
I find the Brightmine legal helpline to be much more valuable than the CIPD one.
Chose Brightmine
Brightmine is a lot more personable and has more topics to choose from. However, the positive with Lex HR is that you can ask their AI a question and it will provide a model answer immediately. The legal advice option on Brightmine is fantastic and very thorough but with Lex HR …
Chose Brightmine
HR Inform's documents are written a little better but there is less choice, they are similar in pricing however you can get a discount is you are a CIPD member which is attractive. It would be good if Brightmine can partner with the HR Ninjas very large network and give …
Chose Brightmine
I looked at SixFifty and Brightmine was more affordable and did all of the things I needed it to do.
Chose Brightmine
Having used both Mineral and Brightmine, overall I think they are comparable tools. Brightmine has stood out as being an easy to use platform. I also appreciate that when searching for information, on the Brightmine site, there are suggestions links/additional links presented …
Chose Brightmine
We use multiple products for our needs
Chose Brightmine
We have not considered using anything else at this time.
Chose Brightmine
I think SHRM has great resources and more resources for "nuanced" situations or scenarios and can get more into the nitty gritty issues, whereas I use Brightmine for just the facts on "what" is being updated and not "how" to make it work for our organization. SHRM can be …
Chose Brightmine
n/a - not used another provider
Chose Brightmine
Much more reliable market data for salary benchmarking and easy to understand reporting and navigation of the platform
Chose Brightmine
Brightmine is more comprehensive regarding the information and resources available for employment laws at the federal level and in all states. I access Brightmine daily, and find more relevant resources on Brightmine than on any other website. Other sites are good for articles …
Chose Brightmine
I got to Brightmine when I want to understand the laws and regulations in the 50 states and federal. I will go to SHRM to assist with developing HR policies.
Chose Brightmine
For HR compliance database, Brightmine is the only tool I have used in that product area so I am not really able to compare with other products. My experience with Brightmine has been a very positive one. Keep up the great work!

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmine is well suited for UK employment law guidance, policy interpretation, and complex employee relations scenarios requiring quick, reliable insight. It is less appropriate for country specific advice outside the UK or for highly bespoke legal matters that require formal external legal counsel. In these cases you would still require external legal counsel.

Cons
  • I'm not sure that their legal advice line is as effective as it could be, it would be better to have an assigned one or two professionals to an account. We actually removed the advice line on last renewal.
  • The wording in policies and especially templates can feel cold and very formal.
  • Their pricing feels quite high for the library.

Without realising it we use Brightmine so often and it is so beneficial as our daily roles are onerous. By having a tool there that covers such a wide variety of products we can rest assured we know if we need something we can find it on there easily. With no hassle.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
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.

Online Training
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 didnt implement but just wanted to say the person providing the training was brilliant and guided us through each page so we knew how to navigate, also allowed us to ask a lot of questions if we needed to which was helpful. So we could go away with confidence to use it
