Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"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."
"It is a complete suite of solutions and features. Compared to other solutions which are more niche solutions, which may be as good as Cornerstone or even better in certain parts of it, like discerning user experience. You will not find another solution that has the same completeness of features in all different areas of learning."
"Cornerstone Learning has helped our company by enabling us to use reporting and 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."
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"Great for tracking and reporting user training."
 

Cons

"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective. Analytics is where it requires a lot of work. We definitely expect some good dashboard features, which are currently lacking in this solution. From a technical perspective, they need to open access to all HTML tags. It currently doesn't support many HTML tags, which makes it challenging to create HTML pages."
"Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"Cornerstone Learning's initial setup was complex, but I don't see that as a downside. It was complex because there is a lot of customizing and a lot of settings that can be done in the setup."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"This solution needs to be less simplified."
"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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"
"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 solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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."
