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

"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's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."
"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."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid."
"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 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."
"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."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"There is a need for quite a bit of improvement. The reporting side of things definitely needs a lot of improvement. At the moment, it gives you a data dump. You have to open it up in Excel and filter out the bits that you don't want and need."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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 price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
