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.

Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"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."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
 

Cons

"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility. I'm managing the solution and I adding content to the system, and overall, the backend of the system looks a bit dated. Cornerstone Learning has focused a lot on the user experience and less on the backend operational administrative experience. This could be improved overall."
"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."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"We were on premium support, but we struggled on a fairly regular basis with the support model in terms of the turnaround times, especially during peak times surrounding end-of-year reviews and things like that."
"This solution needs to be less simplified."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
