Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"From a functional perspective, it is perfect because it has a strong structure and design."
"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 analytics are very easy to use - it produces the data quickly and easily, and can be downloaded and scheduled."
"Cornerstone is a truly unified talent management solution."
"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."
"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

"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"CSOD does not do a great job in prepping the client for the initial set up - they sign the contract and then throw some docs at them and wait."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"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."
"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Cornerstone Learning a four out of five. There are not any additional costs other than the standard licensing fees"
"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing depends on the specific requirements."
