Reviews

"Affordable and the fact that a “lifetime” license option exists is great… so you don’t have to worry about a monthly payment for the remainder of your organization’s life. I recently bought a lifetime license to Brilliant Directories on behalf of a ...nonprofit organization I am involved with. It is the second time I bought this software for a nonprofit. My experience each time made me confident that the company provides excellent services, good training and tutorials, and on top of that is in a range of affordability even for new nonprofit organizations. And there is almost unlimited growth with this system, so an organization is not boxing itself in by choosing a less expensive system which they will have to replace as they grow. Brilliant Directories should be able to take any organization or business as far “down the road” as they choose to go. " - Ginny Grulke

The platform has good tools for establishing pricing packages and member features. It also has email templates for communicating with members. Another great monetization feature is the Lead Generation tool. I also like the availability of a Developer Marketplace where I can find developers who are ...familiar with the platform and can customize my website the way I want it. My “Customer Success Agent” (sales agent) was very nice to work with, and she (“CJ”) spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me explaining the capabilities of the software and getting me comfortable with the purchase. I’ll be getting more familiar with software as I populate and customize my directory, but I’ve had a good experience so far.
