I enjoyed speaking with Dennis. I feel like I'm in good hands and I'm so relieved after the trouble I've been through trying to set up a classified site on my own. I feel like this is going to be an easy, clear, and effective process. I'm excited. My only suggestion is that the microphone/headset that Dennis is using be upgraded. It was hard for me to hear what he was saying at times due to this.

This is my fourth directory! Paid over $5000 for a directory building to a coder in the past and got nothing impressive and after a year, have still not launched. Few glitches with first two directory bought, but once I master them, I couldn't help but go buy a 4th directory software for my company. I am really thrilled tp have found Brilliant Directory; they are truly brilliant!

Quickest way to get a listing & membership site live online. Unlimited managed hosting with 10GB is good for project to test on it ideas. I am happy to able to put an ideas to live in just a few days. Within 2 hours, I can have a similar site like Yellowpage.

I have been extremely impressed with the staff at Brilliant Directories. I waited to review the sales experience until I got my site all set and operating because I wanted to make sure they were true to their word. They were! The site got up quick, the staff was extremely responsive without being pushy, and they simply have a great product that is packaged nicely. Thanks for the great service!

As a new customer to brilliant directories, I found that The help I received from Dennis was crucial to my decision to purchase. He was most patient, informative and easy to reach. The software which I've yet to learn in detail, seems to cover a multitude of options to pass on to my intended customers. It also has tools for marketing, billing, advertising and tracking.

Initially, easy to setup, somewhat easy to use, but great support.
A complete package, and easy to set up. Connecting to payment processors was very simple.
Explanations of some backend features were not easy to understand without help. Necessary Add-ins are expensive. No help in selecting or determining what to charge for service.

We have been looking and researching for the best way to have an online Directory for 2 of our businesses and Brilliant Directories not only seem to have the easiest-to-use-administrative area and modern-looking front-end but the customer service was absolutely a pleasure to work with. Thank you Marco and thank you Brilliant Directories for a great experience so far.

Dennis has been a professional the whole way. He has great knowledge of the software and what possibilities might exist for the user. The layout themes are clean and easy to navigate. They invite the user to engage. So many options that allows you to customize your he site to your exact specs. There is very little I would change about the software so far.

I just started using the product and find it both comprehensive and easy to configure. It will take a little while to review all the training videos, but it looks to me like I'll be able to configure a site by simply going through the options. Then when I get moment, come back and do a little fine tuning based on what a learn from the videos.

I think it's important to consider the prices for phone support, they are too expensive. In countries such as Mexico the hour with an experienced IT is much less expensive.
Easy to use, ready made, one stop.
Expensive support.

I've enjoyed our interaction with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] so far, and look forward to a long relationship.
We have purchased a Brilliant Directories site for a business offering which we know is in high demand. We considered other solutions, but the BD software is exactly what we need, and we are very happy with the ease of use.
We had been unsure about the cost/value proposition but now find our concerns were unnecessary.

I've just started with BD and so far it's very easy to use with powerful features. And the interface is similar to WP which is nice.

Thanks for the feedback, April! WordPress has a great user interface, but often times it falls behind when it comes to features and compatibility. We strive to close that gap with Brilliant Directories

I've built several directory sites - each have taken far longer than they should. "Easy to use" became "weeks, even months" of trying to get it all to work right--especially payments. Truly, not the case with Brilliant Directories. There is no "out-of-the-box" like this. Everything is setup in a best-practice kind of way, with room for personalization.

I really appreciate the timely follow-through and attention to details of my requests. All this is very new to me and I started the process with great concern. BUT, your staff has provided written instruction that is fairly easy to follow. AND, they have done an excellent job interpreting my ideas and requests. Thanks to everyone for your quick response and encouragement. Pam

And nothing compared to this software .For all that you get It's great software at a great price. It has all the bells and whistles you would need to have a successful online business .

After researching for a while, I settled on Brilliant Directories for managed my directory site. The vast number of features were more than enough to sell it, but on top of that every question was answered quickly and thoroughly to make my decision that much easier. Looking forward to a great working relationship with the Brilliant Directories crew!

The system has been a great way for me to upgrade an old directory. It is easy to use with some great resources. The customer support is excellent. However, there is some room for improvement in that the receipting needs to be better. Overall I am happy that we have a directory that is continuing to improve and meets its users needs.

We are a software company and did not want to redevelop something we could get through Brilliant directories. This platform aligned with our business model and existing customers the closest. So far our only experience has been with Dennis and it has been great. We will do a more complete review once our development staff has a chance to use the product.

From BD's willingness to demo the various components of their product to the actual acquisition was quite pleasant and professional. Dennis the sales representative was very approachable and accommodative with a very professional demeanor. The bigger portion of this deal came with their support team as well as a wealth of online tutorials.
