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

"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"Its flexibility allows different configurations for different areas of the company while keeping it all together."
"Features such as the auto waitlist, prescriptive rules and team approvals are the most valuable in this product."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"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."
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"Cornerstone Learning has helped our company by enabling us to use reporting and learning."
"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 integrations work fine."
 

Cons

"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"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."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"There are some configuration elements that require Cornerstone engineering resources. It would be nice if we could self-serve. I would like the ability to manage the user interface or the navigation and layout of the pages that are displayed to end-users."
"It's highly dependent on other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
