    Having used both Mineral and Brightmine, overall I think they are comparable tools. Brightmine has stood out as being an easy to use platform. I also appreciate that when searching for information, on the Brightmine site, there are suggestions links/additional links presented …

    I think SHRM has great resources and more resources for "nuanced" situations or scenarios and can get more into the nitty gritty issues, whereas I use Brightmine for just the facts on "what" is being updated and not "how" to make it work for our organization. SHRM can be …

    For HR compliance database, Brightmine is the only tool I have used in that product area so I am not really able to compare with other products. My experience with Brightmine has been a very positive one. Keep up the great work!

    Brightmine provides better data coverage, has a far more responsive support team, and we were able to negotiate a better price than our previous provider.

    I have previously used Croner. I wouldn't say it's any worse than Brightmine, but I have found Brightmine much easier to navigate, and the overall customer experience seems better. I do think Brightmine could offer more webinars.

    When troubleshooting and needing state specific compliance, I have been able to quickly access and validate data to make informed decisions. For example, when working with a multi-state population of employees, I have repeatedly used Brightmine to review state specific laws at employment separations. When working on employee handbook updates, I have been able to utilize Brightmine to review current policy requirements as well as use as a starting point for drafting policy updates. It has been a very great tool - very turnkey.

    Cons
    Brightmine
    • Frequent technology issues - the system will not be available and I get an error code. This is not good when I need to find information right then. I feel concerned when this happens because I pay a lot for the product and I expect it to be available when I need it.

    Without realising it we use Brightmine so often and it is so beneficial as our daily roles are onerous. By having a tool there that covers such a wide variety of products we can rest assured we know if we need something we can find it on there easily. With no hassle.

    Usability
    Brightmine
    The website is so easy to use and navigate through. I check this website weekly on the states I am responsible for, and it is so well organized to quickly find those states. I also use this to check up on information with policies and laws I run into and all the information is quick and easy to find.

    The people on the call training us were very friendly and knowledgeable! They helped me learn of new tabs for finding templates to create new trainings to update departments on policies and procedures. It also has great excel sheets so I can see side by side differences between states regarding different laws and compensation changes.

    Alternatives Considered
    Brightmine
    Brightmine has more expansive details of state laws than SHRM. We often receive SHRM articles that offer new insight or instruction on compliance. Although these articles are valuable, they may have gaps in knowledge that can be fulfilled through Brightmine. Both are great resources, and we utilize both platforms.
