Content Anytime - Great Resource! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joann V. | Learning Systems Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2024 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** It's a fantastic resource for organizations looking to boost employee learning. The course selection is huge, everything from soft skills to technical training, so there's something for everyone. What I like about it is the flexibility--you can access courses anytime, which makes it easy to fit learning into busy schedules. The platform is user-friendly, and the content is high-quality. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** I would like to see more interactive elements like live Q&As so I can get any questions answered on the spot to further extend and solidify my learning. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** It provides off-the-shelf products that meet the various learning needs of our organization's audience. It provides a wide range of e-learning courses varying in topics and duration (which is very important to us users) that make it more feasible to take professional development courses during our work schedules. ### 2. Playlists are a great help **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** J L. | Sr. Director, Talent Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** The Playlists provided offer a curated view of themed content options that can be aligned to monthly themes or targeted to specific audiences, new managers, DE& I initiatives, etc. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** Sometimes a listed course in the playlist is not actually in the playlist- requires a follow-up w/ the vendor. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** Simplifies content management and search for admins and end-users alike; this helps to get better visibility of the content investment and use. ### 3. Almost all you could want... **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick G. | Retired, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** Cornerstone Content Anytime is a fantastic resource with literally thousands of courses available to you and your teams anytime, through almost any device. There is an enormous breadth of material available. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** We have found a few places that we believe could be better. We have interactions with people who speak other languages - primarily Spanish. We could not find a good beginner course for Spanish. We also found that our industry is rather unique, so some of our industry specific content has needed to be created. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cornerstone Content Anytime allows us to standardize our policies and procedures across our locations - our business stretches across the Eastern Half of the United States. ### 4. Csod Content anytime **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Henri Claude M. | Global HRIS Lead | CSOD, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** WE have Access to many contents for our company needs **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** Nothing special: everything is working Well. WE are satisfied **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** Without additional external partner WE are able to propose learning content to all our employees ### 5. Wide Array of offerings from the Best Vendors in the business. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark S. | Self Employed, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** The CSOD Content team has does a great job in curating the libraries, utilizing the best content from multiple sources in one place. To shop and curate from all these vendors individually would be costly and time-consuming. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** There are a few gaps in our education needs that content anytime cannot fill, but those are few enough that I still find the value. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping training current - the content on Content Anytime is updated for me. We have more people engaging in elearning independently because of the wide range of offerings we have. ### 6. Basic Learning & Development Platform **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristen R. | People Operations Associate, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** I liked that Grovo was easy to use from both an administrative and a learner standpoint. It's definitely a simple and intuitive platform and the organization of the system makes locating content within the platform easy. It was simple to assign content and add due dates. I also liked the ability to add essentially "cover pages" for the videos so it helped to brand the videos and lessons that we created. It also allowed us to create a nice library of content for our users and it was easy to share items with fellow colleagues. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** I disliked how long it takes to upload videos to the system. The industry that I work in is very fast-paced so to have to wait on a video upload for as long as it took was very disappointing. I also found that sometimes I would wait for awhile for a video to upload and then an error might have occurred so I would have to go through the process all over again. It also wasn't as scalable for our organization and our needs to create learning universities for each of our business areas. **Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Content:** I would say that Grovo is best for a smaller organization that needs to upload simple, short videos as content to share with their employees for training. I think that if you are a larger organization that needs to have multiple administrators and have a variety of content that you need to upload, then it might not be best for you. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were solving the need for a learning and development platform for training the employees in our organization. We needed a system where we could upload videos and create content that we could then share throughout our organization. We also needed to track training for compliance purposes so it helped solve that issue as well. ### 7. Create training with ease **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chet D. | Inbound Vacation Sales, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** Grovo allows for easy creation of training programs and allows inserting of media (pics, GIFs, etc.) to add to visual aid. It also allows easy tracking of who has and has not done the course. This has allowed me and my peers to continue training and learning while still ensuring quality of life between the course taker and maker. Helped so training managers don't have to train live if not necessary. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** The biggest set back is the lack of the course taker to leave feedback on the training. I believe it should be allowed, and also have the option of being anonymous, so that the courses can improve in a more stream like manner. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** The largest problem solved is the ability to keep multiple people up to date on all training without having to plan a large group class to relay small bits of information and updates in procedures. That is also its major benefit. ### 8. Grovo is like a buffet - that skyrockets your career! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Seun A. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2020 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** The format is what I like best about Grovo; the content (video/slides/text) first, then questions to test your knowledge of the content, as well as the range of customization possible with your own organisation's learning materials. Also, the format of consolidating lessons into "tracks" and Allowing assignments of lessons and tracks by managers to employees is excellent. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** The search functionality in Grovo does not seem to be able to find your search term in all the lesson/track names. For example, if I search "Slide" I don't get all lessons with "Slide" in the title, and most times if I already have a particular lesson in mind and can not remember the exact title, I have to use different keywords in a trial and error fashion. **Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Content:** The secret to getting the best out of Grovo is to take a lot of time to explore and discover. It may not have the format you are used to for e-learning at first, but exploring, discovering and immersing yourself will open up the awesomeness of Grovo to you **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** Individual and Collaborative Learning - As an individual, I use Grovo to level up on skills that I am personally interested in. Also managers in my organisation use Grove to assign team learning tasks that team members are expected to complete. On a larger scale, we use Grovo for company wide compliance trainings such as Implicit Bias and IT security trainings. ### 9. Really enriched our training opportunities for employees **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristina V. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** The variety of topics that are relevant to our industry, (financial services, non-profit, quasi-governmental) and our employee populations is great. Content is refreshed each quarter, offering employees new content and keeping them engaged. Employees can select training/learning in short or long periods of time to meet their needs and in their topics. Micro-learning has gained so much momentum, and this concept has worked great for our employees. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** There is some minor maintenance and upkeep since content is refreshed each quarter, there is some administrative burden to integrating the new content, and categorizing it, retiring old content, etc. However, this is also part of the benefit, because it keeps learning new and relevant, and prevents it from getting stale or outdated. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to augment or enhance our own training, in relevant topics, which bring true value developing savvy, progressive, innovative employees that are expected to exhibit emotional intelligence and advance our mission, work through our values, and authentically support equity, diversity, and inclusiveness. Content Anytime offers employees the opportunity to learn something in minutes when they have time between meetings, or to dedicate an hour or more for longer more in-depth topics. They are in the driver seat. They like that! ### 10. Fantastic Courses Curated Frequently **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea P. | Instructional Designer & Training Consultant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Cornerstone Content?** I love that the content is curated for us! It's fabulous that we don't have to go through the content on our own to make sure it's up to date. We also get our own client representative which is very helpful. They have helped us with sponsorship, adoption, analytics, and anything else we may need. We often lean on them for different information from their database to find the best courses for our specific needs. They respond promptly and with fantastic customer service. **What do you dislike about Cornerstone Content?** There are some content vendors that I don't like as much as the others. I think that this could be due to differences in learning styles and industries. Because the content is geared towards many industries, there are big differences in styles. **Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Content:** I would recommend trying a few courses from each vendor. They are so different that you will want to sample them all to see if you like them. **What problems is Cornerstone Content solving and how is that benefiting you?** We aren't currently having any problems. We did have an issue with subjects being imported incorrectly but they were fixed very quickly. We have used this to assist with our DE&I strategy. It has been a huge help in getting employees to search for training on their own. ## Cornerstone Content Discussions - [Why Cornerstone On demand?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-cornerstone-on-demand) - [What is cornerstone system?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/cornerstone-content-anytime-what-is-cornerstone-system) - [What does Cornerstone software do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/cornerstone-content-anytime-what-does-cornerstone-software-do) - [What is Cornerstone content Anytime?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-cornerstone-content-anytime) - [View Cornerstone Content pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/cornerstone-content/reviews/cornerstone-content-review-1227127?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+06%3A44%3A31+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=85e78fab-8bea-4ceb-b4f4-d734f9213ab8&secure%5Btoken%5D=da18148774ca6d8cbd3371b3ace5f6b12659c588702b5adea973c99a0fd69225&format=llm_user) ## Cornerstone Content Features **Basics** - Performance - Mobility **Training & eLearning** - Content Creation - Content Libraries **Training & eLearning** - Assessments and Practice - Content Delivery and Tracking - Social Learning - Content Creation - Manager Portals - Content Storage and Management - Content Libraries **Training & eLearning** - Manager Portals - Content Libraries **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Content** - Content Library - Customizability - Content Creation **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Text-to-Image **Agentic AI - Course Authoring** - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction **Performance** - Monitoring - Reporting - Interoperability **Training & eLearning** - Assessments and Practice - Content Delivery and Tracking - Content Creation - Manager Portals - Content Storage and Management - Content Libraries **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance - Mobility - Reporting - Dashboards ## Top Cornerstone Content Alternatives - [LinkedIn Learning](https://www.g2.com/products/linkedin-linkedin-learning/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (686 reviews) - [Udemy Business](https://www.g2.com/products/udemy-business/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (641 reviews) - [Pluralsight](https://www.g2.com/products/pluralsight/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (1,297 reviews)
