What do you like best about Brightspot?

I love how plug and play Brightspot is. It's so easy to duplicate modules and pages and select modules from the back-end to get the content up you're looking to publish quickly. I love how streamlined it is and how easy it makes managing multiple different websites without having to recreate the wheel everytime. The ability to input all your information for socials, analytics, integrate with existing services, and share content across sites and pages is super helpful.

What do you dislike about Brightspot?

It can be a little frustrating to be limited by the created modules in terms of design. I wish the look and feel was a bit more customizable without having to involve a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Brightspot?

We recently transitioned our news media site to the Brightspot CMS. Since we’re operating in a headless environment, we’re not taking advantage of every capability Brightspot offers, but we’ve found it to be both highly user-friendly and easily customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightspot?

Dislikes are the ECT model. Unfortunately, due to budget we chose this route, but should’ve gone with the Java model for more customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
