Overall Satisfaction with Brightmine

I am an HR Consultant with clients in states across the US. Brightmine allows me to easily stay up to date with employment laws and best practices. When a client has an issue that I have not come across or am not sure how to address, I can go to Brightmine and quickly find an answer. Their step-by-step guides provide great reminders of how to handle complex situations.

Pros

  • 50-State Charts give a quick overview of compliance requirements by state
  • The step-by-step guides are helpful when navigating complex situations that require multiple actions.
  • Their flow charts are great for decision making around things like FLSA status and determining a hardship for an accommodation.

Cons

  • There is no phone application to easily navigate through information. Sometimes I like to review legal updates or other articles from my phone and the website is not formatted well for mobile viewing.
  • The dashboard customization is very limited and not visually appealing.
  • The job description list is a bit random. There are specific job descriptions like "Park Naturalists" but nothing for a fairly standard role like "Project Manager"
  • Reduced legal risk through informed decision making.
  • Less time spent researching and thinking about how to handle complex situations.
  • Less time developing tools and resources that can be used for my clients.
I only use the HR & Compliance Center.
I am able to make informed decisions and generate client deliverables faster.
Brightmine representatives have always been kind, helpful, and encouraged me as I navigate owning my own HR Consulting business.
I looked at SixFifty and Brightmine was more affordable and did all of the things I needed it to do.

Do you think Brightmine delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did Brightmine live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Brightmine go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Brightmine again?

Yes

Well suited: Anyone in HR who is managing employees in multiple states. HR employees who are more entry-level and need professional guidance for support. HR Consultants who are providing professional guidance.

Less appropriate: when legal authority or interpretation is required, employers should still consult an attorney. While the guidance in Brightmine is great, specific situations can lead to the need for additional, professional input.
