Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are new releases every three months that keep up with industry standards and meet the needs of the customer."
"Cornerstone is a truly unified talent management solution."
"The analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile, it has good built-in processes, and the implementation is rapid, making it a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."
"If you are looking for a highly automated and highly customizable solution that is excellent in user experience, this is the solution to go for."
"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."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"Great for tracking and reporting user training."
 

Cons

"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."
"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 support for this solution could be improved."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"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."
"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."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
