A powerful and easy-to-use repository that does automatic updates
Articulate 360 got me out from different offering tools that did not offer the same capabilities or usability that Articulate 360 offers. It's really hard to explain it without diving into other tools and just telling how awful they were. Articulate 360 was a revelation for everyone in my field. The solution was very powerful and easy, and I can do so many different things. It just kept going and going, and it snowballed into this thing where it's now the industry standard, and that's really helpful.

Streamlined compliance training and efficient session creation empower diverse industries
Creating a session requires just one click, which makes data ready efficiently. Reporting-wise, Cornerstone is the best. It allows internal content management, playlist creation, using external links for learning, and supports various AI training. All the compliance training, code of conduct, and audits are handled through Cornerstone, making it beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's really nice that Articulate 360 keeps everything up to date and does automatic updates, which I don't have to schedule."
"The platform's most valuable feature is trackability with an interactive element."
"The most valuable features are the speed of development and professionalism of the output that comes from the system. It is also easy to translate to LMS or LXP systems. The storyline tool is also good for more advanced projects. The product has an integrated review valuable tool for getting quick feedback collected in one place while training is being developed."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how they organized the management of the different content types is good. They are done in different ways which is a benefit. Additionally, the reporting 2.0 and playlist functionality are very good."
"It's better than the previous learning solutions we had. We liked that it was global. We liked that you don't have to be logged into the company network to be able to use it. Those were really big benefits for us."
"There are new releases every three months that keep up with industry standards and meet the needs of the customer."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"The reporting feature is fantastic, and I also like the dynamic learning assignment feature. It is interactive and user-friendly. It is also highly stable, automated, and customizable."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home. It is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
 

Cons

"Articulate 360 could have a better video editor and make their audio editor a little more robust."
"Articulate 360 is slow to implement future enhancement requests. We would also like to see more flexibility in the layout of the courses."
"There could be more tutorials available on the platform for new users."
"Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"A minus is that Cornerstone doesn't provide the admin the ability to create their own content for learning. So, you can just manage the content."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Articulate 360 is a little bit expensive, but we get a decent value for money."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"The pricing of Cornerstone Learning is reasonable, but my knowledge of the cost is limited. I've had some discussions about licenses. I suppose we've had to push them a little bit to be more flexible about the licensing. For example, someone said they could only give us licenses in a batch of 500, but we found out that it wasn't true. We were able to negotiate a different amount."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"I'm not aware of the costs. It must have been something for which we paid. Every single employee in the company had some kind of access to Cornerstone because that's how they got to their training."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
