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.
Gayathri Advani - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Apian Consultancy
The product is highly dependent on other tools, and it doesn’t have reporting functions
The product is quite poor in integration with the back end. We can’t report out of it very well. It's highly dependent on other tools. If it doesn't integrate properly, it can be quite complex to work with. I don't see any value in having a learning experience platform over and above a working LMS like Cornerstone. Getting data out as an administrator has always been bad because the product doesn’t have its own reporting functions. It has a reporting tool added to it. It's not part of the core system. It's very hard to report on data accurately and know that the data is accurate because it doesn't always reflect what's actually in the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the best one in the market for learning."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"The solution is very stable."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"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."
"The integrations work fine."
 

Cons

"CSOD does not do a great job in prepping the client for the initial set up - they sign the contract and then throw some docs at them and wait."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"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."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"It's highly dependent on other tools."
 

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 solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"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."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The tool’s pricing is too much for what it is."
