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.
Zaynah Danquah - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Instructional Designer at 24/7 TEACH
Helps us efficiently gather data and grant access to multiple users
The students lose the software's access after quarterly courses are over. There could be a feature to grant them access to go back and check their progress. Sometimes, we encounter issues while accessing the progress using OneDrive. There could be more seamless integration with some of the features. It would be helpful if it integrates well with Google Drive. It will provide users with more cloud options.

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 feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"It is a complete suite of solutions and features, and you will not find another solution that has the same completeness of features in all different areas of learning, be it classroom training, digital learning, learner experience, content curation, blended learning, or certifications."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"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."
"Its flexibility allows different configurations for different areas of the company while keeping it all together."
"We can create groups and resources and share information with them through folders. Thus, it works efficiently to grant access to multiple members."
 

Cons

"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"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."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"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 students lose the software's access after quarterly courses are over."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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