Cornerstone Learning Reviews & Product Details

What I like most is that everything is centrally and clearly bundled at Cornerstone Learning. I can track the learning progress well without constantly having to manually follow up. This helps me to better manage mandatory training and onboarding and to track progress more easily. Additionally, the connection is most important to me because it measures sports time and also takes effort into account. It simply makes it clear to keep an overview, which saves me a lot of time.

For me, the interface is not entirely intuitive in some places, so you have to familiarize yourself with it before everything runs smoothly. Also, the zoom function and the evaluation of reports could be clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you can customize it to fit how you want to help employees learn and improve their skills, especially when you want to focus on a very technical skill and scale that training across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform isn’t as straightforward as it seems, and it’s not something you can easily use right away. Even though it offers customization, you still need an expert from their team to set it up properly and tailor it to what works best for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Cornerstone Learning is efficiently designed and very user-friendly. It's integrated well with our core HR system, which helps in reminding employees to finish required trainings and keeps their managers up to date on progress. The data integrations are often and smooth, allowing updated information like manager reporting relationships and job changes to settle into Cornerstone quickly, providing the correct required trainings. The initial setup of Cornerstone Learning was very easy, which I appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost was a bit high and sometimes we had trouble getting support on problems from the Cornerstone team. Just slow reply or incomplete answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized learning & personalized learning pathways, ideal for expanding organizations, integrated well with HRIS and also has a modern UI. Change enable not just a tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bit complex integration and implementation. Somewhat high cost for licensing fee, support etc,. Rigid, limited flexibility without customization causing the experience to feel overwhelming Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the artificial intelligence in Cornerstone Learning. The workforce management software is also user-friendly and AI-driven. It's easy for new learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Cornerstone Learning could be better by adding customization and configuration options. I would also like to have some real-time work features so I can add them to my project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to create bespoke learning assignments and set up courses in curriculums, where users can then select the language variation they wish to use when taking the course Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have had issues with complicated learning assignments, but these may be more to do with our internal structure than Cornerstone itself. Also when someone is marked as exempt from a course, it is permanent rather than for the current assignment period Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

the variety of courses for our employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the easy integration with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The back administration is very complete and with New features in each new release. Also it has a big users community to help and suggest me New learning ideas. Also the mobile integration is a very good insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not to much adaptable or flexible in changes. you cant revert some steps when you make the configurations. Also some workflows were strong to change and we must adapt our procedures to be as cornerstone suggest. Not to much important. The online authoring tool is quite poor.

The plots I created during the learning experience were very good and added a lot of value to my understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are many authentication steps required when trying to access the learning materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
