Brilliant Directories

Brilliant est un système mature aux nombreuses fonctionnlités

Avantages :

J'ai apprécié la facilité du paramétrage et de l'installation de la plateforme. Il y a plusieurs étapes à suivre afin d'ajouter son nom de domaine, gérer ses emails et personnaliser le design. Ces étapes sont bien documentées en vidéo. La possibilité de tout traduire en français, y compris les modèles d'emails et les formulaires d'inscription, me permet de proposer un annuaire parfaitement francophone. Le respect du RGPD est assuré avec les cases à cocher prévues à chaque fois qu'une donnée personnelle doit être saisie. J'apprécie beaucoup la possibilité de créer plusieurs plans tarifaires pour les membres, dont des gratuits. Pour chaque plan, il est possible d'octroyer des droits différents selon ce que l'on désire. J'ai du faire appel au helpdesk à deux reprises et on m'a répondu dans la journée de façon très professionnelle et précise. Pour conclure, je dirais que lorsqu'on utilise Brilliant, on sent que la plateforme existe depuis longtemps et que les développeurs l'ont fait évoluer pour tenir compte des demandes des utilisateurs.

Inconvénients :

Comme il existe de nombreuses fonctionnalités et que l'on peut créer une politique de droits très fine selon les plans tarifaires, il est nécessaire de tout tester afin de vérifier que cela fonctionne comme on le souhaite. Cela m'a pris pas mal de temps pour arriver au résultat optimal, malgré la documentation très abondante. Le frontend est traduit automatiquement en français, mais il reste beaucoup de mots en anglais. Pour les traduire, il est nécessaire de le faire manuellement en parcourant des dizaines d'onglets, voire de widgets, et c'est assez chronophage. Pour conclure, je dirais qu'il faut prévoir du temps pour mettre en place un système personnalisé dans lequel tout est traduit en français.

The tool I was dreaming of

Commentaires : It is the tool to carry out a project that I have been working on for many years so that the professionals and businesses in my city can make themselves known and generate solid relationships.

Avantages :

Simplicity, precision and multiple options

Inconvénients :

So far, nothing. Because everything I've used fits my needs and desires.

really good directory and membersite

Commentaires : The Customer Support is timely and on point, the learning videos are good. The knowledge-base and AI Chat bot could do a little more, but - yes, I like this tool.

Avantages :

It is a versatile, full-fledged Member Site. In many ways it outpaces current solutions on the web.

Inconvénients :

The almost necessary Add-ons have the potential to over inflate your costs

NO SOURCE CODE

Commentaires : None. Waste of money.

Avantages :

Lots of features. Their salesmen are good at telling you all the things you want to hear. After your payment clears the bank, you learn the truth about the limitations.

Inconvénients :

Their claim to provide the source code is BS. Regardless of what they tell you, they limit access to the source code and you will spend a lot of money trying to customize the system. I believe they limit access, so they can sell you Customization Hours. The designs are way outdated and customizing is very limited. Look deeper at their examples. We fell for the initial purchase and then a follow up email for another license for super cheap, so before I could get into customizing their product, I owned two licenses (and still do, for sale by the way). On the surface, BD appears to be perfect. It is great as long as you don't need unlimited access to the code or REALLY need to customize it (not talking about changing colors). You decide.

It will save you a lot of headaches.

Commentaires : I have tried other directories, from the best sellers to others that are very simple and low payment. However, I have also had problems with them and mainly with translation. Every time the loco translate plugin was updated, it would misconfigure everything, or with the theme itself when it was updated, it would get something unconfigured. Mainly in the part where customers showed their information, which is in Spanish. And that was very frequent.
And the creator of that directory preferred sales to having translation into another language natively. And this was a real headache: to stop paying attention to other things to correct this. To begin with, that's why I switched to Brilliant directories, because it already has the Spanish language by default. And now that I have your attention, let me tell you how good and how bad Brilliant directories has been for me and why FOR ME, IT WAS A HEADACHE NOT TO HAVE USED IT BEFORE: The Good: You save a lot of effort. Short and fast learning curve.
Its basic tutorials to get started are clear.
If you're not a developer, this is your best buy.
The support team is fast and effective.
You will save yourself something that is more expensive in your entire life: time.
(Time that you don't have enough or that you can dedicate to other projects). The Bad:
It's not cheap. (Nor are cars with all the safety systems, a larger family car, or sports cars.) However, for me, it's worth every penny I spent. If you are an entrepreneur and you are starting out and you do not have many resources, I suggest that you save and invest in it. Even if it's with the basics. For me it is a way of investing in an asset that will generate passive income. So I consider it to be a good investment in the short and long term, or a good expense that is worth making. That's why I'm telling you.
It will be a headache if you don't have brilliant directories, you're going to waste a lot of time updating other directories

Avantages :

You save a lot of effort. •Comfort: short and fast learning curve. •Its basic tutorials to get started are clear. •If you're not a developer, this is your best buy. •The support team is fast and effective. •You will save yourself something that is more expensive in your entire life: time. (Time that you don't have enough or that you can dedicate to other projects).

Inconvénients :

It's not cheap. (Nor are cars with all the safety systems, a larger family car, or sports cars.)

Brilliant Directories and Yeigo High-Level Marketing Agency: A Perfect Match

Commentaires : My experience with Brilliant Directories has been very positive. It's user-friendly, SEO-friendly, and offers excellent customer service. It’s a fantastic solution for enhancing my online presence and driving business growth for my digital agency. Brilliant Directories perfectly complements our all-in-one service. Together, they provide a comprehensive suite of tools and services that streamline marketing efforts and boost brand awareness.

Avantages :

What I love most about Brilliant Directories is how easy it is to use. I don't need to be a tech expert to create and manage directory websites. The platform helps my site show up on search engines, bringing more visitors. Plus, their customer service is fantastic and always ready to help. This mix of simplicity, effective tools, and great support makes Brilliant Directories a top choice for me wanting to improve my business online presence.

Inconvénients :

While I found the navigation could be more intuitive, Brilliant Directories' extensive features and exceptional customer support more than make up for it. The investment is worthwhile due to its robust performance and comprehensive tools for enhancing its online presence.

Brilliant Directories, overwhelming at first, but becoming more brilliant the more I use it.

Commentaires : My overall experience is good, at first it's a bit overwhelming. For some basic stuff, you have the video's to get you started. Then I struggled somewhat with certain things but discovered the helpbot which made at easy to find what I was looking for. Still setting up and looking how I can use BD to the max.

Avantages :

It's a very complete platform with many options. Still discovering the details at this point. I've been using the helpbot and that was very helpful to quickly find what I was looking for.

Inconvénients :

The thing I'm missing the most for my use case is a real multilanguage system where the end user can select the choose language that you want. Maybe I will give the auto translation a try, but actually would like a system where I can fill the translations in the back-end.

Turnkey membership portal

Commentaires : From the moment I signed up, I was impressed with the intuitive interface. The setup process was straightforward, guiding me step by step in creating a professional-looking site, all without the need for any coding knowledge. This is a true game-changer for those who may feel overwhelmed by technology but want to achieve a polished and functional website. The tool is a mature product. If you want a membership website up and running quickly, I highly recommend it to anyone. Along with CNAME, it is truly a great product, and you can’t beat the lifetime license pricing.

Avantages :

Customization. One of the standout features is its robust customization options. I can tailor my directory to match my brand’s aesthetic perfectly. The membership capabilities are outstanding. The tool offers excellent management functionalities that cater to my needs. With that said, don’t let the customization process turn you off. It is a plus!

Inconvénients :

Customization. For those who don't like to tinker too much, the ability to customize their site may sound daunting initially, but don't fret—you will get there.

Super easy and very inexpensive to set up

Commentaires : Superb and excellent experience, as it requires one day to set up a full-fledged membership site. That kind of experience you didn't get on WordPress which I have been using last many years. Finally, I got it at a very low cost and with no server-related issues I faced as it is built on its server.

Avantages :

It's very easy to set up. Any non-tech can set up a membership site using BD.

Inconvénients :

Almost everything is perfectly placed and matches my expectations. It would be better if we could customise it like a WordPress theme.

Brilliant Directories works for me...

Commentaires : Good - plan on buying more from them. Quick, easy and headache free.

Avantages :

Relatively easy to use, slight learning curve. Works as expected. Support good.

Inconvénients :

lots of add-ons. But they do work as expected. Support seems easy to work with.

A Solid Foundation for My Directory Dreams

Commentaires : Even though I'm still new to Brilliant Directories, I'm really excited about its potential. It's been super easy to use so far, and the core features are exactly what I need to build a successful directory. I'm looking forward to digging deeper and seeing just how far I can take it.

Avantages :

I've been really impressed with how easy Brilliant Directories is to use. I'm not a tech whiz by any means, but I was able to figure things out pretty quickly. The search/filter function is a major standout – it's super intuitive and exactly what I need to help users find what they're looking for. Plus, I love that there are tons of customization options, even though I haven't had a chance to really dive into them yet.

Inconvénients :

Honestly, the design feels a bit dated. It's not a dealbreaker, but I would love to see some fresher, more modern templates. Also, while the basic SEO tools are helpful, I wish there were more advanced options for someone like me who's trying to get their directory noticed. And, fair warning, there is a bit of a learning curve – it's easy to get started, but mastering all the features will take some time.

Excellent Platform for Community and Directory Management

Commentaires : My overall experience has been very positive. The platform is reliable, constantly updated with new features, and the support team is responsive and helpful

Avantages :

Brilliant Directories offers customizable templates, powerful user management, and seamless integrations, making it versatile and user-friendly

Inconvénients :

The extensive features can have a bit of a learning curve for new users

Discovering Brilliant: The Tool I Wish I Started Using Sooner

Commentaires : From the training, updates, and all the features, I'm happy that I invested in Brilliant. The name says it all: this tool is brilliant.

Avantages :

I attended a training session with internet marketing legend Perry Belcher, where he introduced Brilliant. It has everything you need to build a community, newsletter, and subscription service. I loved it so much that I purchased additional websites for my other businesses. The training is top-notch, and the support is excellent.

Inconvénients :

I hate that I didn't start using the tool sooner.

Awesome Product Im Glad I Found It

Commentaires : I would say that my overall experience with Brilliant Directories is 4.5 stars only because i failed to manage my expectations.

Avantages :

I enjoy knowing that I do not have to create all those automatic email forms, or the privacy policy, terms and conditions. For the most part all you have to do is add a title for your site, the logo, categories and subcategories. The site is clean in design and the best part is that it is already mobile friendly (that alone is a relief) Now, I have used some AI chat bots in my time but the one that is on the admin site is freaking awesome and by far the best I have ever dealt with, so my hats are off to whoever is the mastermind behind that thing. A very well trained AI Chat Bot!

Inconvénients :

I am a a novice website designer and I had some issues with were to start and what the next steps were. BD does a good job at providing training but does not make as easy as I assumed it should be to paint by the numbers. I was expecting a step by step guide illustrating what to do and how to do it. Now dont get this wrong, I found out how to do what I needed to do but it was not without some fustration.

Brilliant Directories is a No Brainer!

Commentaires : I desire to meet the BD development and services team and thank them for giving me the best technological experience of my life! God bless them all

Avantages :

- UI is intuitive and easy to navigate - Customizing the website is only limited by the user's imagination and vision! - The community is vast and willing to help with any difficulties one may experience - The customer service is top tier!! I've never seen such dedication and efficiency - As a coding novice, it is a blessing to be able to learn as I create a revenue stream for myself! I'm proud of myself whenever I accomplish the simplest of tasks!! - I could literally go on and on about what I love about BD but let me stop there.

Inconvénients :

- This is harder than my 1st day in a quantum physics class. If I was to be very nit-picky, I would say that the payment gateway options that can run natively are very limited for the African market. I live in Botswana so I have to find workarounds which will make the website experience less seamless for my users.

I Finally Found the ONE!

Commentaires : I’ve looked at several platforms for my membership needs. I’m impressed with BD!

Avantages :

I was surprised at the flexibility of the different types of embed options that Brilliant Directories provides. HMTL, JS, JSON…it has it all!

Inconvénients :

I’m working through getting the setup just like I want it. But, I’ve already found the support team to be amazing and VERY responsive. So, is it really a con? This is a bonus!

Unique Product

Commentaires : So far so good. Like I said I'm just now getting my feet wet and I'm really looking forward to diving in.

Avantages :

Personally I haven't seen a product quite like brilliant directories and I'm quite thankful I came across it. It's exactly what I need to launch my membership community network. I've just recently begun using BD and I'm very pleased thus far with the set up and support.

Inconvénients :

It's a bit difficult to determine which of the add on's I'll want/need moving forward which makes it difficult to really get an accurate picture of how much it will cost once it's fully up and running and I have everything I need.

Loving Brilliant Directories!

Commentaires : I had several questions before joining and they were answered quickly. One of the features I was looking for was not offered by Brilliant Directories. They were honest about this and suggested another platform. Their honesty was one of the reason I went with them. They genuinely seem to want to help their customers.

Avantages :

After searching several platforms, Brilliant Directories was the top choice by far. It had the most features and the best laid out administrative panel.

Inconvénients :

It takes a little while to learn how to use the platform and I'm still learning. There are many features. This is a good problem to have.

Glad I bought it

Avantages :

I love the endless design features it offers. Although it takes a bit of time to get used to the navigation, I found the YouTube videos on the BD channel extremely helpful. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Inconvénients :

Everything looks great so far. However, the navigation could be more intuitive.

Excited to build many projects with Brilliant Directories
