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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"The solution is very stable."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"It is the best one in the market for learning."
"We have received a return on investment for Cornerstone Learning, with a more coherent view in terms of the management of training, auditing of training, tracking of learning, and the way that learning is presented to people, resulting in a positive return on investment."
"Cornerstone Learning has helped our company by enabling us to use reporting and learning."
"Cornerstone has a pretty robust suite."
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"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."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
 

Cons

"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"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."
"CSOD does not do a great job in prepping the client for the initial set up - they sign the contract and then throw some docs at them and wait."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"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."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"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."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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