Global L&D Lead at Tieto Sweden AB
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.

Technical Instructor at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees
I can provide hands-on experience to my customers. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems.
Singapore DC doesn't support Hypervisor 16G-8C. If you need your image deployed in Asia (this is decided by the time zone in which the image is being used), well it isn’t. It will be deployed in the US DataCenter, which means very high latency when using the image. If you insist the image is deployed on a higher spec hardware (Hypervisor 24G), you need to negotiate with ReadyTech, otherwise a higher cost is incurred. Image updates (made in US DC) are not automatically copied to other DCs it seems. The first time a deployment in the Singapore DC is requested after an image update, the ReadyTech staff have to copy the image from the US DC to the Singapore DC before the the image can be deployed. Because of the extra time needed for the copy, this means the image is not deployed in time to be used as planned. Both result in a bad experience for our customers using the image.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cornerstone is a truly unified talent management solution."
"From an API perspective, this is a very robust platform that offers integration with many other platforms including Linkedin and Salesforce."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"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."
"If you are looking for a highly automated and highly customizable solution that is excellent in user experience, this is the solution to go for."
"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."
"Customer Service: Good response to issues encountered so far."
"Customer service is excellent, with a very responsive 24/7 team that addressed most issues."
 

Cons

"Cornerstone needs to be more adaptable by generating content by just giving keywords, similar to other LMS in the market."
"They can make it more simple in terms of UI. The UI is complex in regards to the navigation and functionality."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers"
"Cornerstone Learning could improve the curriculum function by giving it more flexibility."
"Notification management, while it has improved a bit in the past years, is still a bit cumbersome and error prone."
"The participants in India suffered from very bad latency."
"Since my trust in ReadyTech tech team has not recovered, this is why my overall note is 4/10."
 

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"
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"This solution offers competitive pricing."
"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 would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
