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.

Learning Solution Architect at a recruiting/HR firm with self employed
A flexible solution with superb automation capabilities
The technical support is high-end. They're knowledgeable people, both in the US and in the Philippines. One point of improvement — they should talk more to each other. They're quite responsive, but it depends on the scope of the ticket. If it's just solving an issue from one product, you can have either a consultant from the US or from the Philippines. It gets difficult when a solution is about integration. For instance, authentication mechanisms. Authentication mechanisms come from the US and they have to be incorporated in the Asia version. Then it's difficult because support has to talk to each other.

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."
"It has provided the ability to build cross-functional teams."
"Features such as the auto waitlist, prescriptive rules and team approvals are the most valuable in this product."
"Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time."
"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"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."
"This solution is extremely flexible and the automation capabilities are great."
"I find the PeopleFluent implementation support to be extremely flexible and generous towards their customers."
"Overall, it’s easy to learn and use."
 

Cons

"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"We were on premium support, but we struggled on a fairly regular basis with the support model in terms of the turnaround times, especially during peak times surrounding end-of-year reviews and things like that."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"The integration capabilities could be improved. Integration of the recently acquired Learning Management System into the PeopleFluent suite, since it's clear that it's just recently acquired and it's not fully integrated."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"Give us the ability to source within the tool. It may just be how it’s configured for our organization, but we do not have the ability to source resumes in PeopleFluent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"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'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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"It's not too expensive, but not too cheap either."
