Featured Reviews

Zaynah Danquah - PeerSpot reviewer
Has interactive tracking features, but it could provide streamlined tutorials for specific outcomes
There could be more tutorials available on the platform for new users. At present, there are a lot of optional features, and it wastes time to learn all of those things. Instead, there could be streamlined tutorials for a specific outcome or to accomplish a specific goal. Additionally, the product's price could be better.
Vibha  Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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 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 platform's most valuable feature is trackability with an interactive element."
"Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time."
"It is a one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."

"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."

Cons
