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

"Cornerstone has a pretty robust suite."
"Features such as the auto waitlist, prescriptive rules and team approvals are the most valuable in this product."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home, as it is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
"The solution is very stable."
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile, it has good built-in processes, and the implementation is rapid, making it a cost-effective solution."
"The ability to have a whole system with SilkRoad works well, as we can manage most of the functions of an HR department."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Simple to use Easy setup Cloud-based Easy foundation setup (companies, locations, employee data, etc.) Employees can log in from any internet browser No local installation and support is required."
 

Cons

"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"The setup was straightforward while working with the implementation team. However, it was time consuming."
"The product is designed for smaller companies, so scalability is an issue."
"I think the ATS should be able to auto-generate a decline letter when you move thru dispositions or when you close a requisition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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 solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
