Brightspot Reviews

From the start of the process working with Brightspot, we found them to be actively engaged in not only understanding the pain we were facing but uncovering and supporting our desired changes. We had many unique needs for a variety of digital to print applications. During multiple projects, they continually looked for the best way to help our users and look at the root cause rather than just find a fast solution. In every way, Brightspot has been a partner that has helped us find the best way to move forward with our content management needs.

Many of the issues we have had all stem from standard organizational change management. The technology isn't perfect but has provided a strong base for us to be successful. There are minor design and user enhancement functionality we would like to see changed or updated but many of those have been reported and are currently in process. Overall I'm extremely happy with the system and support we have received throughout our implementation of Brightspot.

We are attempting to create smart content along with omnichannel publishing capabilities. Brightspot has already helped us reduce the amount of work and systems needed to publish to multiple channels.

Brightspot is creative and resourceful; it made my work so much easier. I am so impressed with brightspot. For me, Brightspot is the best web content so far. I can 100% recommend this.

It's intuitive, easy to use and the installation is very straightforward.

Even though the learning curve is steep, once you have learned the basics of this CMS, everything becomes clear to understand.

We used many different CMS at the same time, with Brightspot we manage to centralize all the information and data that we use.

It is very easy to use and understand. The design is very good as well. There also are many plugins available to meet a variety of needs.

Adding video content can be tricky and confusing to do. Sometimes the internet basndwith is not very good.

I would highly recommend to others to use!

Training new staff members has been a huge problem that was solved.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The platform is very user-friendly, and has a nice UI that's easy-to-use and customize. The setup is relatively straightforward, and hassle-free. It's a joy to publish content in the CMS.

As with all software, there are bugs and the platform can be a little unstable when it comes to custom work and integrations, but Brightspot are quick to respond and resolve issues.

If you need a good quality website, and an easy way to update it, Brightspot is the answer.

Needed to launch a website in a short time-frame, and Brightspot was able to do that within a limited budget, and to a high standard.

I really love the guys, engineering and operational teems are the best. They provide the best support any one could hope for and much more.

And the software architecture is robust, very well thought and easy to understand.

Makes it easy to implement new features.

There are many plugins available for different needs.

Some times if the internet bandwidth is not good the CMS is not very responsive. It is feature reach like realtime preview and autosaving, but it requires resources, and it may be dificult to provide them to a very big editorial team.

BSP solves everything, the CMS interface , the sites backend and frontend, caching, hosting. etc. It leaves very little if any uncovered.

The CMS is feature-rich, modern, intuitive and user-friendly, but also incredibly flexible. Using Brightspot developers and our own internal developers, we've been able to customize the CMS to meet our needs and simplify our publishing workflows. Continued development of the platform ensures that as the web ecosystem evolves, so too will our CMS.

While using the CMS as a publisher is really straightforward, some of the settings can be a little confusing/counter-intuitive. However, once you get them configured, you rarely need to change them, so it's a relatively minor complaint. Also, many of the features are separate modules, so you have to make sure they are added on if you want them, otherwise the features will be absent. This is a feature (so you don't have unnecessary code), but it also requires some diligence and understanding in order to make sure you have what you need.

We have been able to democratize our publishing and to unify our print and web publishing into one CMS, which is great. Overall, this has led to more people being able to do more things in the CMS, and do them more quickly.

Brightspot is fairly intuitive to use. After using the platform for a few times, Brightspot makes it easy to understand how to create content and make revisions. It is also a good platform in that it is seamless to train new users.

It can be tricky to add video content to pages in Brightspot but we have a few workarounds in place to make it work. Also, when adding embed code snippets for contests, we have to add it at the very end of creating an article page or HTML will override it.

Brightspot is easy to use and has been a positive asset as it relates to my position in the company.

Brightspot allows our multiple media properties to create articles both for editorial and sponsored content. We can easily share out articles for multiple sites to replicate as appropriate. Some benefits we have realized are that it offers a streamlined platform to create articles. We have been able to build out templates to help regulate site formatting requirements as well.
