The support is excellent and quick and the employee management is very easy to keep up to date. It's excellent value and I qould recommend this software without hesitation. I love the layout, which makes so easy to use. > > **Cons**: I've just moved over to the cloud and I didn't think I would like it but I love it. I was dreading it thinking it would be so different but they have made it so easy to change over and the support was second to none. > > It's made the management of running the payroll for all my clients so much easier. I love the layout, it's not complicated and so easy to navigate. I wouldn't change to anyone else. ----- ### "Best payroll software" — 5.0/5 > **Emily** | *28 April 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Brightpay is so simple to use and figure out where features are. The navigation is clear, and takes some of the stress out of payroll. Staff also like the ease of the employee portal, as well as being able to see their holiday allowance. The ability to link to HMRC and Nest is helpful too. > > **Cons**: I like the new cloud software but it seems to have a lot of bugs. They look to be resolved quickly but when submitting time sensitive information it can add to the pressure. > > Always happy to use Bright and when we get new payroll clients we will put them on Bright for ease. Client support is also quick and readily available. ----- ### "user friendly, cost effective software" — 4.0/5 > **Christine** | *11 June 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: user friendly, easy accessible support, clear pricing strategy. The in-product support in brilliant and always links to the knowledge base articles - or on to a support ticket if necessary. > > **Cons**: It was a little clunky to migrate data and some elements had to be handled manually (e.g. employment data from P45s) > > Very positive, seems like a nice company to deal with. We have had the opportunity to meet some of the staff at roadshows. ----- ### "10/10 amazing software" — 5.0/5 > **Faizan** | *20 August 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use and user-friendly, can be utilised by novices or experienced professionals relatively easily. > > **Cons**: The change to a cloud version - i preferred the desktop version, however this isn't a deal breaker at all. > > Amazing software, the best payroll software i have ever used and i have numerous clients who also love the employer portal side of things too. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/126242/brightpay?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/126242/brightpay) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
