Senior Manager II, Learning operations and multi media at a retailer with 10,001+ employees

Its pricing is competitive, but the auto-assign feature that is most valuable for us hasn't been working for the last year and a half

We have a complex implementation because we have an outsourced population of over 50% of our user base. So, we have a lot of challenges. We have no HCM for user data. We have to create our own custom metadata to manage everything, and there are lots of logistical challenges in terms of implementation. If you have to go through and create a custom metadata system, as we did, and stand up all these other systems, it would take three to six months. If you have a human capital management system that's ready to go and you have all your data in the right segments and whatnot, it could be done in one to three months. In terms of maintenance, we recently re-scoped this to where we have one person that oversees the LMS as a whole, and then we have two administrators that carry out the tactical task, such as auto enrollments, user creations, and all other audit components. We also have a rotational employee that does audits on the LMS to make sure everything is working correctly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."

"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."

"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."

"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."

"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."

"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."

"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."

"The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0."

More Cornerstone Learn pros

"From a learning management system admin perspective, it has a user-friendly interface, but the functionality is deep. So, you can automate people in and out of courses. It lowers the general admin of an LMS admin so that I can focus more on value-adding things for the organization I'm working with."

"It's a viable option because LMS would entail a significant amount of support and maintenance, while this solution could be completed and understood in a week, with very little maintenance required."

"The plug-and-play format can be deployed immediately which is unlike its competitors that require certifications, implementation partners, and phased testing that can take three to four months."

"This complete product is highly scalable. Licensing is not based on number of total users on the system but rather only on active users. Litmos only charge for the number of users engaged in training. This is what makes this solution ideal for scale."

"SAP Litmos brings more standardized training to our organizations."

"It incorporates the majority of the elements."

"Its pricing is good, and its performance is good when it works."

"Its user interface is quite good, the platform is quite user-friendly, and the UI/UX of the platform is very advanced, which helps in getting the users interested in the training."

More Litmos pros

"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."

"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."

"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."

"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."

"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."

"The support from Cornerstone Learning can be better but they were okay. The quality of the first-level support could do better."

"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."

"However, there is more room for improvement in the area of user interface redesign."

More Cornerstone Learn cons

"The reporting could be improved. When we first subscribed to Litmos, it had a great reporting engine, but SAP altered it."

"The rules are not very flexible in terms of administration. They have a predefined system with three standard rules that cannot be customized, modified, added, or removed."

"One feature that a few of my clients have been requesting is CPD. We should be able to capture CPD points for users within the system to be able to report on those."

"The dashboards for this solution could be improved as they are not of the same standard and detail as those seen in Power BI. The graphics for the reporting could also be improved."

"The reporting could be improved. When we first subscribed to Litmos, it had a great reporting engine, but SAP altered it. Some of the changes have reduced the ability to extract reports from it. It's excellent for live data, but it can be tricky when I want to get a report."

"You cannot make a course optional, so if I assign a course to someone, the system assumes that they have to complete it."

"The rules are not very flexible in terms of administration. They have a predefined system with three standard rules that cannot be customized, modified, added, or removed."

"The auto-assign feature that auto assigns courses to learners and puts them into a different learning path has had a bug for the last year and a half. My team has spent numerous hours trying to troubleshoot and fix that, but it's still broken. Until they fix that, it's going to be a higher admin burden for people to manage."

More Litmos cons

"Difficult to adjust the resolution of screen captures and Captivate simulations -- come out a little fuzzy"

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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"

"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 solution offers competitive pricing."

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."

"It is a premium product, and it is on par with its competitors. It isn't out of scale with what the market is demanding. We're always looking at ways of trimming costs, but we haven't had a lot of flexibility with pricing and/or options with Cornerstone. So, its price is decent. There are ad hoc engineering costs when we are required to use a Cornerstone resource. Additionally, when we choose to integrate with third-party platforms, there is a setup and maintenance fee for these data integrations. They need to be built into our ongoing budget as we expand our offerings."

More Cornerstone Learn pricing and cost advice

"When we first purchased our subscription, we underestimated how many people we would have within a billing period. We had to adjust that in the first six months. I can't remember the exact numbers, but they charge a per user rate for a certain number, and you get a discount as the number of users goes up. It scales, which is a fairly reasonable way to build a pricing model."

"I don't know what the pricing model is at this point in time. I'm a consultant. The organizations that have purchased Litmos engage me to help them implement it, or Litmos engage me to be their external learning management system administrator. So, I don't see the rates, but based on the general comments that I've heard, it seems cost-effective and competitive with its competitors."

"This solution comes at a high price point. We also paid $4500 for a migration specialist from Litmos to assist in moving our content over. You are billed every month based on the number of users who have logged in and completed training."

"There are three different pricing models. One is only to use the platform and to add your own learning material. The second plan includes the learning management system plus 2000 plus pre built courses on different areas including leadership, software skills, HR and IT related training. The third package allows you to integrate the system with tools such Salesforce or other CRMs."

"It is priced per user license."

"The solution is priced per user which can get expensive."

"The pricing is really good. Its pricing is probably the most competitive I've seen for an LMS. If you need help with doing any type of custom design or customization, such as code design or anything like that with the site, then you have to use their people services, which would be an extra cost."

"I do not have any idea about the licensing, but I know that it is quite expensive."
