What do you like best about Brightflag?

Three significant upsides, the first is ease of use. Brightflag is so intuitive and easy to use, it has turned processing legal spend from something to dread to something enjoyable. The second is the incredible data we can derive from the tool. This data helped turned our legal spending into a source of valuable information that we can use to manage ourselves and our vendors. The third is how thrilled our law firms are with using Brightflag, which has helped us move legal ebilling from a source of constant escalation, to smoothly operating and useful process. This has been an upgrade across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

Nothing yet, will update this review if something surfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brightflag:

Be sure and take a look at Brightflag, have them come in for a demo, and source the systems requirements from your Finance team before doing so. Brightflag worked not only for our Legal team, but solved some issues for our Finance team as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted an easy to use and intuitive tool to help organize and automate our legal ebilling. We also wanted to better understand the data surrounding our ebilling behaviors, including what we spend, when, and with whom, but also including how our vendors behave and bill us, and how we as a legal department behave and how consistent we are across different departments. Brightflag delivered excellent results across the board, and provides valuable billing and internal behavioral information that we can use to continually improve the process and ourselves.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

Brightflag is really easy to use, both for the frequent user and for the user that only now and then has to use the tool. Reviewing, approving and reporting is very easy. Reporting is also very 'management friendly', both with ready made overviews and with a tool to build reports yourself. This tool is really intuitive as we almost never had to 'read the manual'. Support from Brightflag is good and pro-active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

The initial implementation takes lots of time, not because of the tool itself, but because one has to clarify the legal spend process first. All sorts of exceptions come to light in the invoice- and payment process and need to be taken care off before it can be implemented in Brightflag. So this is not so much a Brightflag issue as well as an internal process issue. However I guess that this will be a problem within every somewhat larger organisation. And as this is not related to the tool, it will be an issue with most other tools as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

First and foremost: we immediately got a clear overview of our legal spend, including some anomalies that we might have missed otherwise. Additionally we could solve some reporting requirements. On the savings side: we still have to get started with that, but for us that is step two in the implementation process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Service-oriented, not only focused on delivering a SaaS-tool, but a consulting partner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

we would like to see a vendor database to be able to search and identify suitable vendors for particular matters; we miss a multilingual AI (German!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We simplify our invoice approval process, and aim at realizing more saving potential identified by Brightflag. On the long run, we hope to be able to challenge our vendors more based on data-driven arguments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

We recently implemented Brightflag as a switch over from another system. The implementation, the attention to detail, and the level of customer service has been incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

We have had some issues with data transfer and invoice payment status recognition, but between our internal team and the Brighflag team we are working through it. The response time from the Brightflag team & willingness to work with us has been amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving our outside counsel / financial management spend. We are new to the platform, but we will be able to gain a better understanding of our spend in 2021. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

Brightflag's AI technology and ability to assist with applying billing guidelines to submitted invoices and flag any breaches is excellent. All of the technology around invoices and billing is best in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

Brightflag's Report Builder function is still a bit clunky and, in my opinion, likely requires a complete overhaul in order to effectively filter and report on the data in the system. My understanding is that this is on the product roadmap and will be forthcoming but hope to see this sooner rather than later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Brightflag has allowed us to gain full visibility on our legal spend and effectively manage same, both internally and with external counsel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Heather,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Brigthflag. We're delighted to hear the value you have received from the AI and the ability to identify billing guidelines breaches through the platform!

I appreciate your feedback on the Report Builder. Brightflag will be focusing on improvements to this in Q4 2020 and we'd love your feedback as we make those changes. Feel free to connect directly with me or your CSM on this.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

It saves a huge amount of lawyer time in reviewing invoices, and flags up breaches / potential breaches that would likely be missed by the human reviewer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

Nothing that I can think of - it works really well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Reducing invoice review time, flagging breaches of our Billing Guidelines, automating and auditing the approval system, tracking the status of invoices, and tracking against budget. The benefits are that it saved us significant time and cost. We now have a very accurate outside spend reporting tool, which we didn't previously have, so as well as enabling the legal team to work more efficiently, we are now also much more across our spend and budget.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

Easy to implement, train, onboard, use. Customer service has been truly excellent. I love watching the product mature and grow with user needs, but still has the streamlined, clean look and feel that I fell in love with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

It's clear that the BF product team works hard to make every single client happy, but I'm concerned there may be too many cooks in the kitchen and this end product will start to deviate from the minimalist platform I was looking for to process my invoices, control my budget, and prepare quick reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Cost control and budget. This product has made it easier to process and review invoices and allowed me the ready info at my fingertips when talking about my spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brightflag?

The invoice approval system is easy and saves us a lot of time. Better still, the AI functionality saves us money. I don't think that we consistently reviewed our invoices before or challenged them sufficiently so we have make a cash positive move here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brightflag?

It's a little expensive - maybe in the future the cost will come down a little which will make it more accessible to smaller companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brightflag:

It's definitely worth a look to see if you can secure savings that make the process aspect effectively free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our approval process is much easier. We have gained cost savings that would have been difficult to acheive with current headcount. The analytics are a bonus too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
