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.

It provides advanced authoring, enterprise security, and workflow approval.
Before implementing ProProfs knowledgebase, my support team were constantly under pressure to meet client expectations. They would have to review and resolve some of the common problems time and again, which hampered their productivity immensely. After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"Cornerstone is a truly unified talent management solution."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"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 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."
"Its flexibility allows different configurations for different areas of the company while keeping it all together."
"There are new releases every three months that keep up with industry standards and meet the needs of the customer."
"After using the ProProfs knowledge management tool, customer tickets have gone down drastically (by almost 35%) and my support team have become more productive and less stressed."
 

Cons

"The support for this solution could be improved."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"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."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"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."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"This solution needs to be less simplified."
"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."
"It would be a good idea if an app version of this tool is available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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