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.
Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"The integrations work fine."
 

Cons

"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"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."
"Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"Cornerstone Learning's initial setup was complex, but I don't see that as a downside. It was complex because there is a lot of customizing and a lot of settings that can be done in the setup."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective. Analytics is where it requires a lot of work. We definitely expect some good dashboard features, which are currently lacking in this solution. From a technical perspective, they need to open access to all HTML tags. It currently doesn't support many HTML tags, which makes it challenging to create HTML pages."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"It's highly dependent on other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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 solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
