I'm an admin for that. tried to use it for customer training, but was not a good fit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? It's powerful and can accommodate complex business rules and requirements. They've accumulated lots of features over the years, so if you can master it, it can provide you a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Not Intuitive for end users. And for an admin,it is extremely difficult to use. So many tabs to complete to publish a course, it's ridiculous and time-consuming. Assignments and reports are also overly complex. I tried to use it for training customers (extended enterprise) but it was not flexible enough or cost effective enough to meet our needs. I was so glad to find a different LMS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Try it out first. Also check into their support model. I couldn't get answers to questions, so i had to attend group calls and ask experts, but even the experts were not sure of the answers. Beware, because it seems like a super old platform that they keep trying to put face lifts on. But you can't escape from the inflexibility of old technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Need an LMS, plus a lightweight goal setting module. It works. But it requires lots of explaining and training in order to use, ugh! I tried to use it for customer education but it didn't have the flexibility to accommodate my needs.

Talent Development Specialist Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/16/2019 "Cornerstone Learning Suite for Beginners" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? The community that helps you navigate thru the system. The amount of different ways to get access to solve a concern or issue. Single sign-on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Too many little details that make setting up an event/ILT class that could potentially an issue for the end user. For example, making sure that. In addition, I would like the ability to have time to jump on an office hours calls on waitlist. So, if someone doesn't show up 15 minutes after others can join. Also, I would like to be able to have items in here go live similar to other platforms that can show responses on the screen using texting via their mobile phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Be sure you weigh out what you will be using it for, how many people will need access to it, and how to implement for increase user usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Consitency with onboarding new hires, recurring training, and content development. Easy access. Training thru all the different shifts since it's 24/7. Being able to hear the concerns or issues of everyone using video training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procurement (Purchasing) Card Manager Higher Education Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/14/2019 "Falls short for ease of use" 2/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? Can set up all classes and email the users from the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? This program really needs a mass edit feature and needs to be easier to use. I'm very quick with technology and learn fast, but Cornerstone aggravates me. I'll forget how I did something the time before. When you have sessions, there should be an easier way to copy them without accidently editing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Supervisor, Pharmacy Care Pharmaceuticals Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/20/2018 "Bulky and Outdated" 2/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? Cornerstone makes it relatively simple to assign learning and track your team's progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? The system as a whole feels far out of date. The search function is abysmal and the reports are often completely inaccurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Look into another system. While it'll get the job done, it certainly is not the most innovative or easy to use. You may find something else offers more and fits your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Compliance is incredibly important in pharmaceuticals. Cornerstone helps us keep track of mandatory courses relatively smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CC Claudia C. Product Trainer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/5/2018 "Good for larger enterprises" 2/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? Cornerstone (or CSOD) is a Learning Management System (LMS) that has built a name for itself. It's a big platform, and is good experience for employees to have. Similar to Salesforce, it's a standard in talent development. When I was using CSOD, I worked at a bilingual company so we were able to do some minor user integration with English and another language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Very bulky, takes a while to learn how to use, not particularly user-friendly or interactive. Hard to navigate, and really confusing. In fact, it's so confusing we had a rep from Cornerstone meet with us monthly to go over issues we had, and we had to learn to use various features like ILT. This LMS forces you to be spreadsheet heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: I would use this if you are looking to implement this LMS for a longstanding and large company. I don't think that this is as interactive as other Learning Management Systems, but if you're in corporate and you have more important priorities, this is a good service to use as you have ongoing support and capabilities suited for large employee counts. You'll be paying a lot for CSOD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? We had just gone through an M&A and Cornerstone was able to do integrate with our HRIS to add and update users automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. There's a lot here that informs how we prioritize the work on our system and other processes that help support admins like you. We realize there are some functionality in the system that is cumbersome and we're working to streamline and improve the administration of the system. In terms of ILTs, we'll take a look and gather feedback from the client base. If you're interested in giving us more detail into what's going on, feel free to email us at wecare@csod.com. Thanks!

HRIS Analyst Senior Aviation & Aerospace Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/3/2017 "The product looks good but is not for everyone" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Cornerstone Learning? The overall interface for users is clean and modern. They have an excellent client support site with plenty of training options and forums to discuss issues with other administrators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? Their certification module is underdeveloped and inconsistent with the rest of the LMS module. We need this functionality because we are heavily regulated but continue to run into issues on both the user and administrative side. Because this is an optional add-on module, many of their customers don't have it so their is not a lot of priority for them to update. There are other administrative functions that are cumbersome at best. It seems like Cornerstone is focused on updating their product line like expanding into HCM and Analytics and their interface but there is a lot of core functionality that needs to be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Learning: Follow best practices for any new project including a thorough requirements gathering. Bring anyone who will touch the product into that process and make sure their requirements are captured. When you meet with Cornerstone, ensure that what its features match your requirements and that they are all in production in the system, not just in development. Talk to other customers who are in your industry and/or have similar requirements to see what their experience has been. As with any software vendor, when you get to the end of the year or the quarter they will offer you all kinds of discounts to sign the contract. Don't let this rush you into making a poor decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Before Cornerstone we struggled with training records management, especially with compliance-related training. We also were doing all of our performance management including annual reviews and goal setting on paper. Cornerstone helped us "digitalize" and standardize many of these processes and has helped our record keeping in those areas tremendously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that the system has many different functionalities such as being able to upload many different training types and send them out in various forms or fashions. It is helpful to have the success center and be able to research and review what other users are doing in the system. Often times when I have an issue it is likely that someone else has already had the same issue and can offer input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cornerstone Learning? I dislike that there is no "undo" button on many features. There is no easy fix or undo because the system is so large. We had an admin that was completely over their head and did not ask for help and they created total chaos in the system and it has taken almost a full 6 months and countless consulting hours with Cornerstone to get the system back where in order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cornerstone Learning solving and how is that benefiting you? Cornerstone has allowed us to centralize our training. Before Cornerstone, employees were having to go to several different sites for various training types. We are able to house and track our training in Cornerstone, which has been extremely beneficial to our end users because now training is in one spot and it is a single sign-on account.
