Customer service has been amazing helping me weigh the pro's an cons of this software. I have another site I used wordpress and it took forever and I am still having to keep it up to date and error free. With Brilliant Directories I am able to spend more time where it counts and getting the site online has been a breeze so far. I am able to spend more time with my family and not worry about 20+ plugins and keeping them all up to date and error free which is a full time job in itself. For this one reason alone I bought the Full Lifetime License! Thank you Brilliant Directory!

I chose to use Brilliant Directories because of how easy it was to customize the site to my needs and also all the training videos that were so thorough and had me set up in under 3 hours.

I have had really great feedback from the site that I have created and cannot wait for this to grow!

Kind Regards,

Rushani

So far, so good
July 30, 2016

Brilliant Directories appears to be very professional and offers good value for money but to be honest I haven't had the chance to use the software yet, although the response I've had from the customer services team has been very good so far.

Hopefully the software will prove to be simple to use for somebody like me who has never tried to design a website before.

I have just purchased the software. I had so many questions and confusions but Denise has always replied my queries instantly and called me on many occasions to answer my questions. He has been calm, clear and supportive. Great Purchase experience.

NOTE: I have not started using the directory yet, but I am sure I will have a great experience without any major issues.

Prior to discovering Brilliant Directories I was becoming frustrated that I was unable to find a not only program that would fit all of my needs but also one that was affordable.

Once I made my way to Brilliant Directories I knew within minutes that they had created exactly what i was looking for and more!

As an agency we have looked at, researched a number of options for membership, directory related websites for clients and I have to say Brilliant Directories is the most comprehensive, stable platform on the market. Dennis Tinerino customer success manager was available to answer every question that we had (We had quite a bit). We are forever grateful for his support while reviewing the platform. We are excited to have this as an option.

Great sales process

I had a great purchase experience with Brilliant Directory, in particular with Mike Campos who provided a nice live product walk through. Flexibility on pricing was a determinant factor in the negotiation.

I purchased the directory to build a local directory in Vancouver poor neigbhour hood to help show that it has business and life to share. I loved the fact that Brilliant looks just that Brilliant and to me that is what my community needs... something to show it off in a fresh, brillant manner. I think BD will do that. As well the lanaguage feature is big considering the multi cultural nature of the hood. I think people will see the directory and be so impressed by its look and layout that they will want to come and buy from the neighbour hood,

Ive been looking around for a directory website for a while. The built in features are close to exactly what I needed. The great thing about Brilliant Directories, is its easy to customise.
Its built by a company who owns directory sites, so they have tested things that help convert more free members to paying members.

I just bought this software. As a former web designer and builder, I know what it takes to put one of these systems together. I can do it, but I choose not too, and why would you when it is here for you? Looking forward to launch!

Hello
July 8, 2016

Thank you my dear Denis
I just got the link, it will take me at least 72 hours to read it.
Any time I want to say that I want to say that the features that allowed me to choose brilliantines are the instrument board, the ability to offer multiple services to a single member, the possibility to offer several price levels, and marketing tools.
I hope that the assistance in particular configuration and daily monitoring will live up to my expectations
I'll be back with my comments and suggestions after start
I intends to launch several directories
