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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile, it has good built-in processes, and the implementation is rapid, making it a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"It is a one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"Features such as the auto waitlist, prescriptive rules and team approvals are the most valuable in this product."
"One of the good things with Saba is that they have money and time management in one platform."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
 

Cons

"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."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
