Overall Satisfaction with Brightmine
I use Brightmine to stay up to date on the numerous employment laws in effect at the federal level and across the U.S. The product not only gives me one place to go to review employment regs, but it also explains them and helps me to have a better understanding without the time required for research using multiple sources. I also find value in the drafted policies, letters, and forms. As a consultant, this product reduces my worktime, and allows me to be more efficient.
Pros
- Legal Timetable
- Well written policy templates
- Comprehensive employment law guide
- Variety of resources I need (job descriptions, policies, letters, templates, trainings).
Cons
- Frequent technology issues - the system will not be available and I get an error code. This is not good when I need to find information right then. I feel concerned when this happens because I pay a lot for the product and I expect it to be available when I need it.
- Brightmine reduces the time it would take me to research certain items on my own. As a consultant, this increases my capacity, allowing me to take on additional clients and increase my revenue.
- Using Brightmine saves me from needing to hire someone to help me perform research or to help me stay up-to-date on changing laws. Although I pay for the service, it is at least 80% less than an employee would cost.
My company currently uses the HR & Compliance Center product through Brightmine.
This product reduces the time I spend on research. This in turn increases my capacity to take on additional clients and increase my revenue.
I have only reached out to support once, and it was because the website was giving me an error and would not display any information. I emailed tech support who sent me a link to the UK site to use. This was not helpful since I am in the U.S. I was able to access it at a later time, but this is one area that Brightmine can improve. I get a page error too frequently for a product that is paid for.

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 and some resources like job descriptions and templates, and I find it is helpful to use multiple resources for some things, but if you need something that explains each law and gives guidance on how to apply it, Brightmine is the best option.
