The API, Zapier, and Webhook integration, plus the ability to customize, are important. In addition, it seems to have completed much of the heavy lifting, so you can focus on customization over development, which is a definite plus. It has the majority of important functionality integrated, which allowed us to choose it over using some of the other applications in which we had to invest more development time and effort. > > **Cons**: We are still exploring and haven't found many negative points yet. Besides the development aspect, there is not much documentation around the scripting capabilities that allow us to use some of the classes or pull from the system, but it could be that we don't know where it lives yet. Video capabilities could improve, but this may be on the roadmap, and the application does quite a few things well. We are a development agency, so we are very familiar with many applications in the industry. Many of the features and functionality are familiar, so moving around is not an issue, unlike someone who may not have that experience. But at the moment, we haven't found too many bad points worth outlining, and we want to resolve them first before putting them under the application limitation. > > We are still in the application's development phase. Still, we are pretty impressed. It is a comprehensive and solid application that integrates well without many issues you would experience, even with the big players. Many of its features work out of the box by simply adding your keys and configuration. If things continue the way we currently experienced our onboarding and work, we look forward to seeing how fruitful it can be. ----- ### "I'm loving it, so far." — 5.0/5 > **Tafazal** | *30 April 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a great tool that brings your ideas into reality. I've been looking for a tool for 2 years and have tried all sorts > > **Cons**: I'm not sure yet as I have to try all the functionalities. That said, there is a learning curve, like any tool. > > So far so good. I'm looking forward to bringing my group to life. It has been something that I've tried to do on other platforms. ----- ### "Very Useful Platform for a Directory Startup" — 5.0/5 > **Ken** | *22 February 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Brilliant Directories offers all of the features that any directory needs. It's easy to add options such as: coupons, photos, videos, and blogs, as well as different membership levels. Importing and exporting data is also quite simple. > > **Cons**: By necessity, this software is quite complex. This isn't a flaw - it's just the way a quality directory is. It takes time to learn everything that you need to know to get a directory up and running. Consequently, I recommend starting out with a very specific market niche, and a limited number of features. "Bells and whistles" can later be introduced as upgrades. > > We could never have gotten our directory up and running with Brilliant Directories, or something like it. ----- ### "The Staple Tool For The Foundation of My Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Sistah** | *8 December 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how sleek it looks after launching the software. > > **Cons**: The learning curve is not as simple as it sounds, and some things require a developer to maneuver the designs. > > Using Brilliant Directories is one of the best decisions I've made. It's so good that I own three Directories\! It's now a part of my business foundation. So, whenever I consider a different component or brand for my business, it's my first stop. ----- ### "Intuitive community website alternative to Kajabi" — 4.0/5 > **Manny** | *22 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to set up and get started right of the bat. They do have quick set up tutorials which make things a bit easier just to get the site up. Just like anything else though, to get it to your liking is going to take some time. > > **Cons**: The UI seems a little bit dated but so far that is the only thing that I have found so far as I am new and still getting to know the layout of the land. > > Overall it is pretty simple and straight forward to start but will need time to get it to the point where I want things to flow within my community. ----- Page: 1 / 33\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/128110/brilliant-directories?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/128110/brilliant-directories) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
