The overview of our billables has increased a lot. Especially when it comes to different departments and savings Brightflag, their customer succes managers and support department is top tier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

In general the service is digital. This makes it a little bit more difficult for some of the Brightflag users. Brightflag are always happy to help these users individually, so this isn't really a dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the overview you are more likely to save on your legal spend. Because of Brightflag we can adequately push back to law firms, if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

The Brightflag platform is extremely intuitive and truly innovative. Having been involved in the design, implementation and management of third party solutions at NatWest, Brightflag has been joyful to work with. The solution itself is user friendly whilst being able to demonstrate its value to the business in many areas. Brightflag have provided immense support both pre and post implementation and no ask is too much. They're constantly wanting to know what they could develop to further help our business and potentially other clients, this has been what I believe sets Brightflag apart from other solutions on the market. Their constant innovation is what I believe sets them apart from the rest Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

There hasn't been any dislikes so far. We're working collaboritively to develop the tool and change certain things but these are more to ensure they work to their best for the business rather than dislikes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

The transparency between our corporation and external counsel is most important, and saves me time which translates into saving the Company money. User interface of the application is intuitive and friendly. This is exactly what my small in-house legal and compliance team needed! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

Not about Brightflag, but my Company's roadblocks to the full API integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?

The time spent by our attorneys with invoice review has drastically reduced, so the return on investment is sound.

Communications between the billing departments of external counsel and us, for processing invoices and budgeting, is greatly enhanced.

Our finance time is looking forward to accurate estimates of legal spend in their forecasting, something we have been guessing at, based on previous quarter's spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

Support is very responsive to issues and will assist in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

There's a feature where you can make a customized drop-down with your options. The feature is a bit obtuse to add and remove options after it's created, but support took our complaint and is working on changing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company is using Brightflag as an automated billing solution, and it's been useful in processing information quickly and efficiently to our billing department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

Brightflag is laser-focused on ensuring its product is delivering value for your company. There is a tremendous amount of active follow-up by their customer success team. It's not a meaningless post-sales check-in with their client, but rather its consistent weekly follow-up to provide actionable recommendations based on many behind-the-scenes data analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

Nothing. Brightflag is a straightforward group of people to work with. Any issues that may arise are quickly resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legal Spend Management. The system has been showing a significant potential for cost-savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

I worked with the Brightflag team in the RFP and the Implementation projects. During both they kept a trustworthy attitude, backed by demonstration... and facts afterwards. We were looking for a more user friendly tool, and that's exactly what we got! We always had the good feeling of being listened too and taken into serious consideration because our success meant Brightflag's success. With Brightflag implemented, we transformed our e-billing process from mere invoice processing to valuable insights generation and propagation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

I did not dislike anything. There is room for improvement in enabling their AI to operate in languages other than English, which would open up regional and local business opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?

We fixed our e-billing process by enabling simple invoice ingestion and analytical observation of the business we are doing with external law firms and other legal vendors. To be noted that he latter population was out of scope from our previous e-billing system due to the LEDES file format barrier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

We're a busy, lean, globally distributed team with responsibility for keeping on top of legal hot spots, anticipating legal issues and tracking global legal spend. Brightflag not only cuts down on admin time (the review and paying of invoices), but gives us a whole host of relevant, centralised and structured data which translates into valuable management information we can use to make better decisions with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

As with any tech, you need to build processes and controls in the background to make sure the tech is adopted widely and is fit for purpose. No two organisations are alike and no single piece of tech or software will cleanly dovetail with existing processes without some work to map out how best to configure and deploy it. That said, the Customer Success team is there to help with just that, which takes the "sting" out of adopting new technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brightflag:

If you currently don't have a way of extracting meaningful management information from the legal spend your company incurs, and want to be more proactive in that regard, consider Brightflag as a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brightflag solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're cutting down on time spent keeping track of invoices and reviewing them, and using that time for more value-added work. We also have more complete visibility over legal spend that might have been incurred outside the legal function which helps us intervene where needed, or find better ways of supporting the business in-house based on the data we see from the invoices coming in.
