Great reporting, curriculum, and learning assignment management
We primarily use the solution as a way to allow people to take online courses.  When you need to serve big organizations and you need to train thousands of employees, it's hard to organize on-site courses. With online training, you can train people online quickly and at the same time.  The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"There are new releases every three months that keep up with industry standards and meet the needs of the customer."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"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."
"Most valuable is the SSO integration with our AD, so the users can employ our federation service to log in."
 

Cons

"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"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."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search."
"We would like to create reports for local IT leaders in a different way, more suitable for upper management."
 

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"
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"received very good pricing, as we are also working with the Proofpoint spam appliances."
