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

"Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time."
"From a functional perspective, it is perfect because it has a strong structure and design."
"If you want to make the job easier, go for Cornerstone Learning."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home, as it is user-friendly and graphically appealing."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"The solution is very stable."
"Customer Service: Good response to issues encountered so far."
"Customer service is excellent, with a very responsive 24/7 team that addressed most issues."
 

Cons

"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."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"The mobile app needs improving."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"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 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

"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 price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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"
"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."
"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
