Global L&D Lead at Tieto Sweden AB
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.

Technical Instructor at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
I can provide hands-on experience to my customers. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems.
Singapore DC doesn't support Hypervisor 16G-8C. If you need your image deployed in Asia (this is decided by the time zone in which the image is being used), well it isn’t. It will be deployed in the US DataCenter, which means very high latency when using the image. If you insist the image is deployed on a higher spec hardware (Hypervisor 24G), you need to negotiate with ReadyTech, otherwise a higher cost is incurred. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems. The first time a deployment in the Singapore DC is requested after an image update, the ReadyTech staff have to copy the image from the US DC to the Singapore DC before the the image can be deployed. Because of the extra time needed for the copy, this means the image is not deployed in time to be used as planned. Both result in a bad experience for our customers using the image.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"Cornerstone Learning has helped our company by enabling us to use reporting and learning."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"Customer service is excellent, with a very responsive 24/7 team that addressed most issues."
"Customer Service: Good response to issues encountered so far."
 

Cons

"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."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated 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."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"The participants in India suffered from very bad latency."
"Since my trust in ReadyTech tech team has not recovered, this is why my overall note is 4/10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
"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."
"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"
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
