MA Michael A. Training Portfolio Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/8/2025 "Great for compliance - horrible for the end-user" 0.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? It's a great platform when you want to demonstrate compliance - but that's it. If you plan to use it, do this: Use it out of the box - adapt your processes to how the system works - not the other way around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Note: Most people writing reviews about Cornerstone are not end-users (learners). Learners suffer horribly in Cornerstone. Where do I begin? I've seen it twice now in my different employments. It has a horrible end-user interface making me doubt that those who built it even have UX designers employed. Things are not logical - at all. Buttons that are essential are not clear, the learning flow is off. I could go on and on. Writing this (July 2025) relaunching courses by just clicking "Launch" from a curriculum is not possible. The button now says "Request" which doesn't make sense - as you've already viewed the course once. Why would you need to request it? It then sends an approval request that is missed by the ueres' manager. An LMS where you can't revisit your eLearning without a Phd in UX... I lack a proper vocabulary for describing this. When making Cornerstone aware of issues (like notes(!) not visible to all users) - nothing happens. It's a system for compliance for crying out loud - so things should be tested before launching new features - it seems like they don'ty do that - at all. It says it all that we have an army of support people employed to answer questions about the use of the system. The new curriculum player 2.0 used to display learning content looks like it was created by someone who doesn't understand how online learning works. The learner should see the course they are taking - nothing else. They don't care about progress in the curriculum while they are trying to learn something - it's like reading a book with commercials in it. On a normal laptop, the space allowed for the actual learning part (the online course) is so limited, that you need a magnifying glass to view it, if your screen isn't at least 21 inches. Yes, you can click a very small highlighted text so the course launches in a new window, but yet again Cornerstone misses out on the basics of UX. I heard once that Cornerstone considers themselves to be the Microsoft of LMSs. I beg to differ - a lot! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Cornerstone helps display that we are compliant in our training efforts (medical device industry). It does a great job here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. It does some of the basics we require of an LMS for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? We are constantly having to do work arounds or just go without certain resources, like online evaluations that employees actually see, because the system doesn't work the way it should at the level we need it to for our company. No one at our company likes Cornerstone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? We are able to report on course completions, certifications, etc. There haven't been many benefits though beyond the bare minimum of what you'd expect a LMS to do.

It works for training registration for our instructor led trainings. It seems to have little down-time. It offers tools like evaluations for instructor led training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Trying to navigate the system is a nightmare and their "on demand customer success center" is extremely difficult to navigate and timeconsuming to find answers to specific questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: I don't recommend Cornerstone as an LMS or the Cornerstone OnDemand customer success center. It seems like in trying to be a jack of all trades It is possibly a master of none. At least it doesn't seem to work well for the ones I've investigated.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? We just use it to allow clients to register for training. I am trying to add evaluations to the trainings, but this is proving difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can’t honestly recommend anything from my 3 years of experience with Cornerstone Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Clunky interface, outdated platform, nonexistent support. Once described to me by one of their competitors as the “Cadillac of LMS systems,” I took it as a supportive statement. I know think they were referring to how a Caddy drives like a boat Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Don’t plan on support from Cornerstone. Invested hundreds of hours of staff time to try to work around their limitations. Outdated, and lacking features available in every modern LMS out there! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you?

IT Applications Manager Information Technology and Services Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/12/2017 "Cornerstone Review" 0.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? Pretty much nothing. The application lacks so much that there is really nothing good to talk about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? I dislike the amount of clicks needed to get to course. Not only that, after you take a course, then you must find your way back to sign it. If you upload videos then there is no control to see who watch it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Look for something that promtes Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? No benefits. We solved the problem of being able to track training taken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The landing page is clean. That is all I have to say that is positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? None of the promises of functionality from the sales staff have turned out to be true. The system is very manual, it is a terrible POS with tax issues and poor navigation for customers despite it's claims of eCommerce. It is a rudimentary system only allowing its own boring training terminology, alphabetical curriculum listings, lost test scores, and complicated administrative functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Talk to people you know who have the solution who have the same or similar requirements. We had very specific requirements that Cornerstone stated they could meet but failed to deliver. When finally speaking with other CSOD customers who were not references CSOD sent us to, we discovered only dissatisfaction and a lawsuit. Unfortunately, we discovered these things after our purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? We in fact have not solved any of the business problems that Cornerstone claimed it could solve. The goal was to have an online system that would allow customers to purchase our training pass subscriptions and manage our public and private customer training as well as our eLearning. This needed to support a business to business model. The design of the system is really more of an individual retail model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been a sys admin, content creator and user of several eLearning systems and the best thing I can say about this solution is the ability to combine eLearning with other HR functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? I have been a sys admin, content creator and user of several eLearning systems and this is by far one of the least intuitive and clunky systems I have ever encountered. Basic capabilities found in other systems are missing from Cornerstone, for example, assessment creation is clunky, cumbersome and does not provide an easy way to manipulate questions, upload test banks, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Training and assessment of corporate employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
