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.

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.
