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

"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"One of the good things with Saba is that they have money and time management in one platform."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."

"Great for tracking and reporting user training."
"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"
"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."
"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."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"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."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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."
