Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the best one in the market for 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."
"One of the good things with Saba is that they have money and time management in one platform."
"Its flexibility allows different configurations for different areas of the company while keeping it all together."
"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."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"Great for tracking and reporting user training."
 

Cons

"The support for this solution could be improved."
"A minus is that Cornerstone doesn't provide the admin the ability to create their own content for learning. So, you can just manage the content."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"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."
"Cornerstone Learning's initial setup was complex, but I don't see that as a downside. It was complex because there is a lot of customizing and a lot of settings that can be done in the setup."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"
 

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 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."
"The solution cost approximately $47,000 annually."
"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."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
