Compared to Workday, Brightmine is more specialized and faster for HR compliance and policy work, whereas Workday is broader and stronger for core HR operations like payroll, workforce management, and analytics. We selected Brightmine because it provides more direct, practical …
Chose Brightmine
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 …

We use multiple products for our needs
Chose Brightmine
We have not considered using anything else at this time.
Chose Brightmine
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 …

Chose Brightmine
I got to Brightmine when I want to understand the laws and regulations in the 50 states and federal. I will go to SHRM to assist with developing HR policies.

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!

Chose Brightmine
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.
Chose Brightmine
We were previously with Make UK but were not on the list above, and the range of policies and templates was limited. Brightmine has a more extensive library.
Chose Brightmine
You get what you pay for.

Other companies tie you in for ridiculous contracts, make it difficult to leave and sell you insurance that doesn't pay put.

The one downside of ADP, would be the enhancements that they do. The last couple that have been rolled out have not provided the service that they expected- leading to functions within ADP not working correctly or not working at all.
Chose Visier People
Our business has experimented with the use of Skedulo, but it has not stacked up against Visier People, as we don't get the luxury of the nicely recorded data that Visier People gives us. We have been able to record important information day-to-day due to the use of Visier …

We haven't seen any major competitor to Visier in the market that meets or surpasses Visier; UltiPro has some reporting functionality but it requires customization.
Chose Visier People
Visier makes it SO MUCH EASIER to put power in the hands of end users. I could also never build the incredible analysis tools like Movement Summaries and Drivers Charts like Visier has. Visier takes so much data management pressure off so all you have to worry about is end users.
Chose Visier People
The primary drivers for our selection of Visier:
  • Pre-built guidebooks and questions
  • "Easy" and swift implementation
Chose Visier People
Our company started with a shotgun approach and I personally evaluated over 20 different vendors. The first thing I noticed about Visier is their responsiveness and curiosity. They asked smart questions that spoke to what our company was trying to achieve. The vendor …

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.

This means that Visier enhances data analysis and drives planning, metrics, and business results to the next level. The ability to transform databases of employees' data (for example) into interactive, clear, and detailed reports supports and upgrades the current decision-making process.

Cons
  • 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.

Usability
So simple to use and really a few clicks to finding what you need, also appreciate the layout and alphabetical organisation. Not to mention how things are written out it makes finding templates a breeze and navigating to exactly what you need. Makes a stressful job so much easier!

Visier People makes it very easy for all end users to go in and see, pull, or dig in to their data where previously my team would have to pull or schedule a report of the data to each user. It is also very fast in updating charts/analyses when changing or adding filters, which makes the ease of use better. Last, the charts and analyses are very visually appeasing, making users want to use the platform more.

Online Training
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.

I didnt implement but just wanted to say the person providing the training was brilliant and guided us through each page so we knew how to navigate, also allowed us to ask a lot of questions if we needed to which was helpful. So we could go away with confidence to use it

Visier can move as quickly or as slowly as the client needs. The topic-by-topic approach separates the project in clear phases and allows for focus on specific data. Depending on the size of the implementation team, implementation could move more rapidly if the subject matter experts are responsible for the individual topic data sets.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to Workday, Brightmine is more specialized and faster for HR compliance and policy work, whereas Workday is broader and stronger for core HR operations like payroll, workforce management, and analytics. We selected Brightmine because it provides more direct, practical support for compliance updates and policy creation without the complexity and configuration overhead of Workday.

Our business has experimented with the use of Skedulo, but it has not stacked up against Visier People, as we don't get the luxury of the nicely recorded data that Visier People gives us. We have been able to record important information day-to-day due to the use of Visier People - Skedulo just didn't compete.
