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.

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."
"It is a complete suite of solutions and features. Compared to other solutions which are more niche solutions, which may be as good as Cornerstone or even better in certain parts of it, like discerning user experience. You will not find another solution that has the same completeness of features in all different areas of learning."
"Their integration features with other platforms are valuable. It is also relatively easy to use. Their library of training modules is fairly robust as well."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"It is the best one in the market for learning."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile, it has good built-in processes, and the implementation is rapid, making it a cost-effective solution."
"If you are looking for a highly automated and highly customizable solution that is excellent in user experience, this is the solution to go for."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."
 

Cons

"There could be more tutorials available on the platform for new users."
"Articulate 360 is slow to implement future enhancement requests. We would also like to see more flexibility in the layout of the courses."
"Articulate 360 could have a better video editor and make their audio editor a little more robust."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"The mobile app needs improving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Articulate 360 is a little bit expensive, but we get a decent value for money."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"I was not involved in the financial negotiation for our contract with this company, but in the past, I have seen the fees run between $10 USD and $11 USD per user."
"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."
"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."
