I've been looking for a suitable directory software for some time.
The only viable alternatives to Brilliant directories are either way too expensive or WordPress based.
For me, WordPress is simply too risky to use for a business making money unless you are a WordPress ace or employ someone else to manage it.
I've had numerous bad experiences with WordPress and would rather spend my time making money than messing around with tricky software. Also my last WordPress site got hacked badly.
So, Brilliant directories is a no Brainer due to the security of Saas and ease of use.
I bought tier 3, because if your serious about using the product, it has all the features you need with a generous member limit and the necessary bandwidth.
Navigating the software is very simple and the options for set up are comprehensive.
I like the payment gateway features included and the way that I can set up the membership plans for my website.
I'll be interested to see what future features will be added, but make no mistake, this is not a new solopreneur startup as many thousands of businesses are already running on BD. Therefore the risk is negligible, particularly when you consider that you get a 60 day money back guarantee here on Appsumo.
Grab it while you can!
