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

"Cornerstone Learning has helped our company by enabling us to use reporting and learning."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"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."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"One of the good things with Saba is that they have money and time management in one platform."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"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."
 

Cons

"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be 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."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"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."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"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."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
 

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."
"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 solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
