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.

Flexible e-learning has supported multi-campus growth but still needs more open themes and plugins
I think they should actually provide some more free versions of most of their themes. I think most of the things you have to use on Edly are all paid for you to have a good experience. I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore. Because Moodle itself is actually open-source, but if you want to go for the paid Moodle, you can still use the free one, but there are some restrictions in Edly that if they can just add some free themes, it will still make it not seem as though they are not selling, but it will attract more users to explore what they have as a solution.

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 features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"The solution is very stable."
"From a functional perspective, it is perfect because it has a strong structure and design."
"If you are looking for a highly automated and highly customizable solution that is excellent in user experience, this is the solution to go for."
"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, making it a cost-effective solution."
"Its flexibility allows different configurations for different areas of the company while keeping it all together."
"There's no way you can build a solution that you cannot easily customize, which is actually the powerful feature of Edly."
"Edly has positively impacted my organization by giving our employees confidence to perform well, especially when dealing with critical projects."
"Edy made content delivery more efficient than other tools that I was using previously."
"We track all the learner trends and progressions and which courses are the top sellers so that we can market them and place them prominently in the marketplace."
"Edly ties up with the world's best educational institutions and provides the best courses with reasonable time frames to finish the modules, which is something I appreciate most about Edly."
 

Cons

"There are some configuration elements that require Cornerstone engineering resources. It would be nice if we could self-serve. I would like the ability to manage the user interface or the navigation and layout of the pages that are displayed to end-users."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"We were on premium support, but we struggled on a fairly regular basis with the support model in terms of the turnaround times, especially during peak times surrounding end-of-year reviews and things like that."
"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."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"I think they should work on making some open-source plugins or themes that people can also explore."
"One thing that could be improved is to ease out the payment process and payment modules."
"It was simple enough to use, but I could not make a significant difference in terms of efficiency compared to other platforms such as Blackboard or Moodle."
"I sometimes find issues with even the finished modules in Edly where I cannot proceed to the next module and must restart the same modules."
"Edly can be improved by addressing the limitation in integration with third-party platforms."
 

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 is a cost-effective solution."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"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 solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
