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 of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home, as it is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
"It's better than the previous learning solutions we had. We liked that it was global. We liked that you don't have to be logged into the company network to be able to use it. Those were really big benefits for us."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"It is the best one in the market for learning."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
 

Cons

"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"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."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"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."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"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."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
