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.

Senior Researcher at ProProfs at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
It provides advanced authoring, enterprise security, and workflow approval.
Before implementing ProProfs knowledgebase, my support team were constantly under pressure to meet client expectations. They would have to review and resolve some of the common problems time and again, which hampered their productivity immensely. After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"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."
"It has provided the ability to build cross-functional teams."
"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 most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home, as it is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
"After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed."
 

Cons

"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"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."
"This solution needs to be less simplified."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"It would be a good idea if an app version of this tool is available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"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."
