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 has the typical required features and good performance for admins, and for users. the User experience is fine. It tends to be a bit complicated for admins though. And I didnt get to use the AI functions, they were alternate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is sometimes quite complicated for admins, it dosnt have stand alone AI features and it didnt integrate easily with our ERP, so this made us not be as satisfied. 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.

Reporting capabilities are expansive, but at times, data needs to be exported to create advanced dashboards. Automated Email Notifications are good assets of the system as well. I like how they are always striving to be the best in the business and have an agile approach to updating the system. The skills functionality is helpful in impacting career conversations. The talent marketplace is the culmination of the foundational work in the skills space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interest List Management and evaluation functionality are not easy to use. Edge import templates need to be updated to better describe required field formats. The templates do not indicate the fields need to be id numbers instead of the name of the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) Scalability - great for large organizations such as ours. 2) Good for administering compliance training, which is what we mainly use it for, although we are trying to encourage more usage for career/professional development purposes. 3) Wide range of out-of-the-box content - we purchased some Content Anytime subscriptions and found this helpful content for curation and professional development opportunities. 4) Accessibility - they're rolling out as many accessible features as quickly as possible, but I wish the releases happen more quickly. 5) Customer support - Cornerstone's customer support and knowledge/support bank of helpful articles are among their greatest services. I appreciate the abundance of information and knowledge I can find on Knowledge Central and Online Help pages, which help me quickly look up answers to my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) User interface - while parts of Cornerstone are updated, there are some pages like the Certificates, My Team views, and Custom Pages that feel and look outdated. There are certain features that don't feel cohesive within the whole system as the UI looks different from page to page. 2) Reporting - while Cornerstone provides reports that have the basic information and are great starting points, I'd like to see more robust customization features that feel less clunky. Currently, the reporting feature feels overwhelming and not as intuitive; I'd like to see improvements where I can use the filters and see changes to the reports in real time as I'm making changes. I also don't like that I have to "schedule" or "refresh" the reports, as this goes back to my comment about wanting to see the changes in real time to ensure that's the data I want to see before downloading it. 3) Admin features - while I appreciate the wide array of admin features the system offers, it can be challenging to understand what the effects are if one feature is turned on/configured and one is not. This is where the Knowledge Central and online help pages are helpful, but even then, it's still not always clear. I'm wondering if AI can be incorporated to make it easier on the admin as they're configuring settings; for example, AI could have pop-up reminders or notes that suggest, "Have you considered turning on X, since you have Y setting enabled?" or something alike, to help admins better understand the interconnectedness of the features they enable.
