Cornerstone Learning Reviews & Product Details

We love its simplicity! Less is more for our organization as our sector is especially slow to adopt change while dealing with a vast amount of politics. The great news is Cornerstone puts that all aside and allows the organization's core, the employee, to own their learning journey. This was not always the case. Our organization did not always have a culture of learning and development until Cornerstone Learning was implemented. What used to be in-person classes, endless paper approvals which were difficult digitally to sign, a constant battle with accounting for going over the travel budget due to being in a costly state, and overall was just a negative experience from the very thought of even considering taking a course either by choice or by requirement, has turned out to be an enjoyable, easy, and more meaningful experience for our learners. With the emergency remote work due to the pandemic, the implementation of Cornerstone came at a perfect time in which new behaviors, skills, and learning styles were adopted. Most do not like change, let alone embrace it, yet Cornerstone Learning was simple enough for our users to adopt. It has completely revamped our onboarding process and changed how we approach continuous learning while allowing us to be proactive about compliance rather than reactive. We are at a point where we are considering other complementary solutions in our organization's roadmap to continue growing our employees and, more importantly, retain them, keep them happy, and move them forward in their careers.

When we were in the consultation phases, viewing a full demo of the product's capability would have been helpful. Our meetings were general discussions with no visuals, and the thought process of leadership supporting this method was "seeing the LMS" in action would take away from our prospective unicorn that would meet all our needs and desires. Our leadership did not truly see the "big picture." As a result, our administration settled based on the dollar amount. After realizing more solutions could have been included with our negotiated package, we had to add more items that could have made an even more value and a positive experience from the beginning.

As an Admin at my organization, there are many things that I like about Cornerstone Learning. We use Learning to administer all of our annual compliance-required training and I would say that is where it has been the most beneficial. We can easily assign it to the desired audience and track the completions needed for audit requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not very many things that I can honestly say that I dislike about Cornerstone Learning. It is a great product and they have a lot of resources to be successful. One thing that you really need to be careful is with updating courses and curriculum with reversioning. Overall it is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Functionalities, playlist, it is very easy to use for learners and you can adapt the options deciding to offer more or less info. to employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization is possible but not as much as we would like. For admin users, it is not an intuitive tool, it take some time to master it! As well the reporting function could be improved by using POWER BI metrics, it needs to be more visual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cornerstone offers hundreds of learning courses from microlearning 5 minute classes to multiple day courses offering certfication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administrator functions can be difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can learn from material to learn from, not just what is assigned to me. There's also an events calendar where I can attend live sessions. The material consists of recordings and quizzes, so it's engaging and ensures I am learning it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports component is a little complex with the "and" logic. Feels more like a technical reporting tool than something for an end user. This is where you find competed courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cornerstone easily imports both SCORM 1.2 and 2004 as well as AICC content developed in Brainshark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the import process is much better than most LMSs, there remains a large amount of metadata that needs to be manually input. This can be managed with bulk loader templates, but this process is still time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The various delivery modalities that it offers for learners; All of the offerings that Cornerstone has! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set up was a struggle but we made it through and love it; A big piece of this was on us as you have to have lots prepared as you do with any system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy how customizable Cornerstone is and how it can be adapted within your workplace. After fully utilizing it's native offering, the API's opens up even more opportunities to fine tune the system to fit your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it is super customizable, it sometimes falls just short of meeting some of our needs. However, it just means you need to be more creative and to modify some policies/procedures to match with Cornerstone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Learning functionality, it records registration, allows me to complete rosters accurately, and I can report on those factors easily. I also love that I have the ability to assign courses to employees dynamically, so I can set up a training assignment once, using their OU Group functionality, and then I never have to do it again. The assignment will continue for all applicable employees until I end it. This saves me so much time as a system administrator! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much that I dislike about CSOD Learning, it is very intuitive and easy to use. One of the items that I wish would be updated is the order of some of the options in creating events and sessions; the "Restrict withdraw" option is in an unconventional area and can be hard to find if you are unaware of where it is.

I like the customization that Cornerstone allows us as admins in our portal. We can literally create just about anything we want, within reason of course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the learning logic doesn't always add up and prevents us from easily accessing the information we desire through reporting. However, I will say that Cornerstone continues to improve its reporting fields and features each year, so I'm hopeful some of the suggestions that have been submitted will be included in future release updates.
