Streamlined compliance training and efficient session creation empower diverse industries
Creating a session requires just one click, which makes data ready efficiently. Reporting-wise, Cornerstone is the best. It allows internal content management, playlist creation, using external links for learning, and supports various AI training. All the compliance training, code of conduct, and audits are handled through Cornerstone, making it beneficial.

You will be happy with the product, product support and service level provided.
Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost. Our organization has been using Grovo for 2 months. Reporting had a few bugs – nothing major. No,…

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 one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"We have received a return on investment for Cornerstone Learning, with a more coherent view in terms of the management of training, auditing of training, tracking of learning, and the way that learning is presented to people, resulting in a positive return on investment."
"As far as I'm concerned, Cornerstone is the absolute top learning management system on the market."
"The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"It is the best one in the market for learning."
"Distributing quiz content alongside video and ability to upload documents are the most valuable features."
"Customer Service: AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. It's a huge reason why we decided to go with Grovo."
"Valuable features are customizable learning tracks, and single sign on."
"Ease of use, and nice look and feel to the end users – both very valuable to us."
"I appreciate the flexibility that the new Instructor Led Training offers, and visual graphics for tracking users, etc."
 

Cons

"We were on premium support, but we struggled on a fairly regular basis with the support model in terms of the turnaround times, especially during peak times surrounding end-of-year reviews and things like that."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"I would like more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"I think a lot of the things agreed on or promised in the initial sales discussion are proving to be more difficult or do not work the way we understood them to now that we are in set up mode."
"I look forward to the capability of putting materials in folders by category...as currently the long list of modules is daunting."
"Better customization of reporting inside of Grovo instead of creating outside of the platform at an additional cost."
"Bulk video upload is a must."
"Grouping and assigning trainings. Also, would like another admin layer built into the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Cornerstone Learning depends on many factors, such as size and negotiations."
"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."
"Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"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 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."
