Brightmine 2026 TrustRadius Buyer’s Choice Award badge

We’re delighted to announce that Brightmine has earned the 2026 Buyer’s Choice Award from TrustRadius, a trusted source for verified customer reviews in the B2B technology space. This recognition highlights the consistent value our solutions bring to HR professionals and the strong relationships we build with our users.

This marks our second consecutive win, following our recognition in 2025, and reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional value, capabilities and customer relationships, based entirely on feedback from real users of our products.

Why this matters

To earn this recognition, Brightmine met the following criteria:

  • Received 10+ verified reviews between January 1 and October 17 2025
  • 75% or more of reviews selected us for:
    • Best capabilities
    • Best value for price
    • Best customer relationship

The “Best Relationship” category is based on key insights from customer reviews, including:

  • Would buy again
  • Implementation expectations
  • Sales and marketing promises

During the evaluation process reviewers are asked if products and their support teams live up to expectations and if they would buy the product again. Reviewers’ answers determine the other qualifying factor: if a product is rated best in capabilities, value for price and customer relationship.

What our customers are saying

Our customers consistently highlight our product’s ease of use, reliability and the exceptional support they receive from our team. This award reflects their trust and satisfaction with our products.

Here are just a few of the comments customers have said about us on TrustRadius: 

“Our HR team regularly uses Brightmine’s comprehensive state charts and informational webinars to stay on top of the latest additions and updates in the compliance space. I do not have any hard numbers to share, but I know the comprehensive resources and tools regarding leave and pay requirements delivered in the 50-state chart format have been incredibly helpful in saving time and ensuring compliance. Brightmine’s Compliance Resource Center is easy to navigate, user-friendly, and offers all the compliance-related information necessary to stay on top of the changes for a national employer. I am certain that Brightmine’s tools and resources have significantly mitigated risk by their clear and easy-to-navigate options.”

“We use Brightmine for all of the legal resources and information it provides on its main platform. I receive email updates on law and regulatory changes, which are very helpful, and I have employees in 30 states, and I cannot keep track of all of that on my own. I rely on Brightmine for that information. We also use Brightmine for the creation and updating of our employee handbook. Again, it helps us keep abreast of changes in the law that affect the content within our handbook.”

“Brightmine has been extremely helpful in confirming compliance with federal and state laws, creating and maintaining our handbook and state supplements, confirming new laws and regulations to be mindful of. Also, their customer support has been so helpful with any questions I might have about Brightmine and if I am struggling to find something specific they are always there to help me out.”
