Q&A Highlights
Question: Feedback on SumTotal Talent.
Answer: I see them less in recent new contracts for larger organisations, which are typically won by the other ones mentioned in Q2. From what I have seen from Sumtotal, it is a fine LMS but may be a bit old fashioned with less appealing learning experience. Other attention points are availability of experienced consultancy services in your area and the integration with other modules in the Talent suite, as some of these have been acquired, so integration may be an issue.

Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
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.""Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time.""The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how they organized the management of the different content types is good. They are done in different ways which is a benefit. Additionally, the reporting 2.0 and playlist functionality are very good.""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.""The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are the welcome page and the learner's home. It is user-friendly and graphically appealing.""The Meeting feature is similar to a conference call facility that can be used for virtual meetings.""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."

More Cornerstone Learning Pros →

"Oracle HCM Cloud adds the latest features on a quarterly basis to the cloud, which makes it very easy for customers to adapt to the new features.""It is a configurable, scalable solution.""The solution has good integration with other applications.""HCM Cloud's most valuable feature is its ease of use - it's interlinked, so you can drill down into information.""We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable.""The solution's scalability potential is very good. We have more than 1,000 users ourselves.""The product's most valuable feature is the centralization of data.""What I like best about Oracle HCM Cloud is that its configuration is okay. I also like it in terms of updates. Product updates that take place from time to time improve Oracle HCM Cloud. What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place."

More Oracle HCM Cloud Pros →

Cons
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited.""A minus is that Cornerstone doesn't provide the admin the ability to create their own content for learning. So, you can just manage the content.""Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great.""Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content.""In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting.""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.""The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved.""Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"

More Cornerstone Learning Cons →

"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve.""There needs to be familiarity mixed in with novelty.""It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based.""I rate the technical support of Oracle HCM Cloud an eight out of ten. There is some room for improvement.""Lacks relevancy for the current generation.""Oracle needs to make some sort of support repository that is up to date.""It would be very nice if we were able to roll back transactions from data that was loaded with the data loader.""Visually, Oracle HCM Cloud needs improvement. For example, the employee portal looks rather old, so it would be awesome if Oracle refreshed its design or if the portal looked more modern. Oracle HCM Cloud works, but visually, it needs improvement."

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 →

  • "On an annual basis, we pay about $25,000 for our company. This includes the VAT, support, upgrades and everything else."
  • "Oracle HCM offers many features at a low price."
  • "On average, it's not a cheap solution."
  • "It has a licensing cost. It has a cloud-based subscription, which is quite cheap."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "There is a license required for the use of this solution and we are on an annual license."
  • "I cannot comment on the cost, as this is handled by a different team."
