Brightspot is a great platform for CMS
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Brightspot is easy to use and has been a positive asset as it relates to my position in the company.
Powerful, highly customizable CMS with a clean UI
What do you like best about the product?
Perfect Sense Digital (PSD)'s customer service really puts Brightspot above the four other content management systems I've worked in previously. Their developers were more than willing to work with our internal development team to tweak or build out custom features based off our organization's needs. The Brightspot UI is very clean, which seemed to make it much more approachable to senior staff that did not need to work within the software as often as our power users. This design, as well as thorough documentation, really made it easy to train new/existing staff when we transitioned to Brightspot from the CMS we were previously using.
What do you dislike about the product?
From an admin perspective, Brightspot could refine the design of their pages setting user roles/permissions. On the plus side, permissions are extremely comprehensive and you can cherry-pick by every content type/feature in your wheelhouse...but this is the only portion of the CMS where the UI was lacking (despite great functionality).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we implemented Brightspot, we were able to create a "Global" site within the CMS that allowed employees to share content seamlessly across the 26 brands we were publishing content to at the time. We also were able to streamline our newsletter process by automating the build process (by scrubbing content published within a specific timeframe depending on the frequency of the newsletter).
Gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to use once you get the hang of it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain strange quirks can get in the way. I'm not able to right click and paste in some sections (crtl-V works) but I am in other sections. Additionally, sometimes I am unable to publish certain things, and Brightspot doesn't offer much insight as to why - you kind of have to figure it out yourself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find it's useful for us, because everyone on the team gets their own login.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Training folks who are less-than-"techy" may take a little bit of time, however, it is a relatively reliable program with few shortcomings.
