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

"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"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 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."
"Their integration features with other platforms are valuable. It is also relatively easy to use. Their library of training modules is fairly robust as well."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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