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.

You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
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 is a truly unified talent management solution."
"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"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."
"It is a complete suite of solutions and features. Compared to other solutions which are more niche solutions, which may be as good as Cornerstone or even better in certain parts of it, like discerning user experience. You will not find another solution that has the same completeness of features in all different areas of learning."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"It has provided the ability to build cross-functional teams."
"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."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"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."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"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."
"A minus is that Cornerstone doesn't provide the admin the ability to create their own content for learning. So, you can just manage the content."
"There is a need for quite a bit of improvement. The reporting side of things definitely needs a lot of improvement; at the moment, it gives you a data dump, and you have to open it up in Excel and filter out the bits that you don't want and need."
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility. I'm managing the solution and I adding content to the system, and overall, the backend of the system looks a bit dated. Cornerstone Learning has focused a lot on the user experience and less on the backend operational administrative experience. This could be improved overall."
"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."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
"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."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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."
"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 is a cost-effective solution."
