My favorite feature for Brightspot is the preview ability where you can develop a preview link and share it. It makes review very simple and easy. It's very helpful to see what it will actually look like once it's published. Being able to share the preview link around with stakeholders is super helpful and makes it a smooth review process.

What do you like best about the product?

I value the capabilities of Brightspot, especially the various ways it allows users to manage their websites easily once they understand the system. It's great for curating lists of articles and creating impactful pages. I like the ability to use shared modules (and recent-ish ability to transition an existing module to shared and vice versa) and use tagged pages/sections coupled with 'current tags' on article lists, it's a time saver that helps quickly producing lots of pages with relevant items.

What do you dislike about the product?

We have some BSP-built items that have been in some stage unfinished or broken since we migrated in 2020, and they were never really fixed by BSP. We replaced a few of these items with simple embeds and hired our own internal development team to address some of the issues but it took years to rebuild what we thought we were getting from BSP upon migration.

What I like best about Brightspot is its flexibility and efficiency. It allows me to manage, organize, and deliver high-quality content across the channel smoothly. The ability to customize workflows and templates makes our production faster and ensures everything meets our editorial standards.

What do you dislike about the product?

One thing I find challenging about Brightspot is that some of the more advanced features come with a learning curve, especially when you’re customizing workflows or templates. That said, once you get used to it, the platform becomes very powerful and efficient. On the downside, our website has gone down twice in the last four months.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brightspot helps solve the challenge of managing and delivering large volumes of content efficiently. It organizes all our editorial assets, streamlines workflows, and allows us to publish high-quality content across multiple platforms quickly. This benefits me by saving time, reducing errors, and ensuring our productions meet the channel’s standards.

What do you like best about the product?

The best part of Brightspot is the editorial organization of the team responsibilities in my opinion. I collaborate with writers, product managers and marketing specialists and the platform enables all to know what content they are to deal with. The task assignments and approval phases are extremely useful in terms of campaign preparation. It also tracks the person that edited what, as this prevents misunderstandings.

What do you dislike about the product?

A problem that I have encountered with Brightspot is that certain tasks involve multiple steps to be carried out in publishing, and they can be tiresome when one faces a hectic day. The marketing team needs to switch screens to complete one product update at times when making various product announcements. It does not prevent us to work, but it decreases the pace of content preparation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brightspot aids in resolving the issue of coordinating content work across the various departments. Marketing, editorial and product teams all play a role in the same website in my company. Prior to the usage of this platform, it was hard to trace the author of each content. Brightspot maintains transparency of responsibility and makes sure that articles go through the review process appropriately.
