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
Director at Apian Consultancy
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

"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"Features such as the auto waitlist, prescriptive rules and team approvals are the most valuable in this product."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"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."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"Cornerstone has a pretty robust suite."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."
"The integrations work fine."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"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."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"There is a need for quite a bit of improvement. The reporting side of things definitely needs a lot of improvement; at the moment, it gives you a data dump, and you have to open it up in Excel and filter out the bits that you don't want and need."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"It's highly dependent on other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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."
"It is a premium product, and it is on par with its competitors. It isn't out of scale with what the market is demanding. We're always looking at ways of trimming costs, but we haven't had a lot of flexibility with pricing and/or options with Cornerstone. So, its price is decent. There are ad hoc engineering costs when we are required to use a Cornerstone resource. Additionally, when we choose to integrate with third-party platforms, there is a setup and maintenance fee for these data integrations. They need to be built into our ongoing budget as we expand our offerings."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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 price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"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 tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
