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.

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 how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"Their integration features with other platforms are valuable. It is also relatively easy to use. Their library of training modules is fairly robust as well."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"Now training can be recorded in real time and, as a result, our records are more up-to-date."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"Microsoft Viva Insights is integrated with Outlook and SharePoint. It helps me to reply and attend all scheduled meetings."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"This product could have more features and ways to deliver training."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"I get very few notifications of Microsoft Viva Insights on my mobile."
 

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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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."
"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 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."
