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

"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 features of Cornerstone Learning are how they organized the management of the different content types is good. They are done in different ways which is a benefit. Additionally, the reporting 2.0 and playlist functionality are very good."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home. It is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid."
"It's better than the previous learning solutions we had. We liked that it was global. We liked that you don't have to be logged into the company network to be able to use it. Those were really big benefits for us."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
 

Cons

"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"A minus is that Cornerstone doesn't provide the admin the ability to create their own content for learning. So, you can just manage the content."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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'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."
"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 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 rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
