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.

Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"From a functional perspective, it is perfect because it has a strong structure and design."
"Cornerstone has a pretty robust suite."
"It is a one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
 

Cons

"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."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective. Analytics is where it requires a lot of work. We definitely expect some good dashboard features, which are currently lacking in this solution. From a technical perspective, they need to open access to all HTML tags. It currently doesn't support many HTML tags, which makes it challenging to create HTML pages."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
"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."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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 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 price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
