Three years of solo editorial work through Brightspot, and what stands out most is how the platform holds up even when you push it into weird territory. Custom content types with deeply nested fields? It handles them, mostly. The place where I hit walls is around conditional field logic, specifically when you want field visibility to depend on more than one parent attribute at once. Brightspot's data model is genuinely flexible, but that particular edge case requires a workaround that took me a week to figure out. Their delivery team documentation eventually got me there, but the path was not obvious. Still, a 5-star from me.
The reason I keep renewing is that the CMS genuinely respects editorial workflows in a way that most platforms don't. Scheduling, content variants, rich media handling, all of it feels built for people who actually publish things for a living. As a one-person operation, I can't afford a tool that fights me every other day. Brightspot mostly doesn't. The edge cases are real, but they're manageable, and the core experience is strong enough that I've never seriously shopped around.
