Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid.""Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option.""The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts.""The reporting feature is fantastic, and I also like the dynamic learning assignment feature. It is interactive and user-friendly. It is also highly stable, automated, and customizable.""The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings.""Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own.""The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0.""It's better than the previous learning solutions we had. We liked that it was global. We liked that you don't have to be logged into the company network to be able to use it. Those were really big benefits for us."

"Good integration capabilities and extensibility.""The solution offers good benefits for administrators.""The solution is stable and reliable.""The Talent Acquisition and Headhunting features are good.""It is easy to use. Requisition management and pre-screening are the two most valuable features.""Performance and goal management are good to have, based on certain client requirements where the user base isn't too large, but the most workable domain of Taleo is the recruiting module.""The stability of the solution is good."

Cons
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel.""Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search.""Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content.""The support for this solution could be improved.""In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting.""Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great.""The user interface is in need of improvement.""Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."

More Cornerstone Learning Cons →

"In terms of Oracle Taleo as a product, there are a lot of things which can be developed; most feedback which I have heard from customers is about the dashboard and the home page, both of which are quite basic.""The pricing could be improved.""Lacks some systems that we need.""I don't see very valuable features in this product because it has an old way of interpreting ATS. It should be more flexible in managing datasets and data searches. The screening data is a long process in Taleo.""It would be ideal if we could integrate the solution with Olympia. It would be helpful if we could add another support desk for an IT person. It would be great if the product was more interdisciplinary and could include IT.""There are always going to be little caveats here and there that you might not have known about as far as changes are concerned, however, it's not business-oriented to the point where the business shuts down.""The bulk recruitment feature does not work well."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is a cost-effective solution."
  • "I was not involved in the financial negotiation for our contract with this company, but in the past, I have seen the fees run between $10 USD and $11 USD per user."
  • "Quality always comes at a cost. I would not rate it as expensive. It provides value for money."
  • "It is a premium product, and it is on par with its competitors. It isn't out of scale with what the market is demanding. We're always looking at ways of trimming costs, but we haven't had a lot of flexibility with pricing and/or options with Cornerstone. So, its price is decent. There are ad hoc engineering costs when we are required to use a Cornerstone resource. Additionally, when we choose to integrate with third-party platforms, there is a setup and maintenance fee for these data integrations. They need to be built into our ongoing budget as we expand our offerings."
  • "The pricing of Cornerstone Learning is reasonable, but my knowledge of the cost is limited. I've had some discussions about licenses. I suppose we've had to push them a little bit to be more flexible about the licensing. For example, someone said they could only give us licenses in a batch of 500, but we found out that it wasn't true. We were able to negotiate a different amount."
  • "This solution offers competitive pricing."
  • "I would rate the price at four on a scale from one to five because it's a very expensive product."
  • "I'm not aware of the costs. It must have been something for which we paid. Every single employee in the company had some kind of access to Cornerstone because that's how they got to their training."
  • More Cornerstone Learning Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Whether you pay annually or on some other payment schedule depends on the license model you choose. Typically, clients pay a yearly subscription."
