(Time that you don't have enough or that you can dedicate to other projects). > > **Cons**: It's not cheap. (Nor are cars with all the safety systems, a larger family car, or sports cars.) > > I have tried other directories, from the best sellers to others that are very simple and low payment. However, I have also had problems with them and mainly with translation. Every time the loco translate plugin was updated, it would misconfigure everything, or with the theme itself when it was updated, it would get something unconfigured. Mainly in the part where customers showed their information, which is in Spanish. And that was very frequent. And the creator of that directory preferred sales to having translation into another language natively. And this was a real headache: to stop paying attention to other things to correct this. To begin with, that's why I switched to Brilliant directories, because it already has the Spanish language by default. And now that I have your attention, let me tell you how good and how bad Brilliant directories has been for me and why FOR ME, IT WAS A HEADACHE NOT TO HAVE USED IT BEFORE: The Good: You save a lot of effort. Short and fast learning curve. Its basic tutorials to get started are clear. If you're not a developer, this is your best buy. The support team is fast and effective. You will save yourself something that is more expensive in your entire life: time. (Time that you don't have enough or that you can dedicate to other projects). The Bad: It's not cheap. (Nor are cars with all the safety systems, a larger family car, or sports cars.) However, for me, it's worth every penny I spent. If you are an entrepreneur and you are starting out and you do not have many resources, I suggest that you save and invest in it. Even if it's with the basics. For me it is a way of investing in an asset that will generate passive income. So I consider it to be a good investment in the short and long term, or a good expense that is worth making. That's why I'm telling you. It will be a headache if you don't have brilliant directories, you're going to waste a lot of time updating other directories ----- ### "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. ----- ### "So far, not bad" — 3.0/5 > **Nasser** | *28 December 2015* > > On the positive side, Brilliant Directories is very easy, in fact effortless, to initially get up and running. That's good. On the negative side, I'm finding it difficult to understand how to customize the system according to my needs. I am a web developer with years of experience with php, javacscript, SQL Server, etc. I just a simple set of documentation which tells me how I can access the source code, and what the API is (if there is one). The Customer Service response time is very fast, and so far they have been very good at helping with DNS changes. However, with regards to customization, so far I have only received responses telling me it can't be done, or I have to ask for a quote in the marketplace, or I have to spend $100 of my allowance to set up a call with an expert. I am a web developer\! I want to do this stuff myself. Please help me out here. (I've already paid a reasonable amount of money. If I need something that I can't do myself then, rest assured, I'll pay you more). Thank you. ----- ### "Top notch all the way\!" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *17 December 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Well thought out, everything is in there. I was trying to cobble together a directory site in WordPress, what a mess. This is so smooth and efficient, love it\! > > **Cons**: I haven't found anything yet to be honest. > > Excellent product and super support and service. Top notch all the way. ----- ### "Amazing platform for a start up" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *7 December 2024* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has the possibility of having not just a website or a membership site, but a business in a few days. Very good. > > **Cons**: At the start took me some time to figure out how to get where I wanted. Perhaps the website builder is not so intuitive, but I see other people's webs, and I guess this is something possible reading the documentation. > > The platform is very customizable, with a lot of features, and offers immediate opportunities for having a business. Just check what others are doing for inspiration. ----- Page: 1 / 33\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/107889/brilliant-directories?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/107889/brilliant-directories) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
