4.0

Angie G.: Hi, my name's, Angie and I'm the communications specialist. I would give Cornerstone a four out of five, and for more ratings like this, click below. We use Cornerstone for compliancy training for all new hires. Another thing we use Cornerstone for is learning path progression to engage our learners throughout their career, regardless of if they've been with us for one week or five years. What I like most about Cornerstone is the integration with Grovo and Teams. This gives our team the ability to engage in the learning platform in several different ways, all using the same platform. Cornerstone has many different functionalities, but it takes a long time to learn how to use it properly and how each section will affect the other. For example, one simple change in one area can cause a larger chain reaction in another, so you need to become an expert quickly in order to use it properly.

Clemens A.: Hey, this is Clemens. I'm a Business Developer at a software company, and I would give Lectora a four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Before using, or before choosing Lectora, we were considering Articulate 360, Knowledge Worker and obviously Lectora, itself. It felt like Lectora was targeted also towards smaller businesses, while especially Articulate, feels more like an enterprise product. Knowledge Worker, however, had a better authoring tool, but we didn't like the LMS that came along with it. Also, we were at that time, working with multiple partners for content creation, which made it especially interesting that Lectora supports a lot of different formats for learning content. Getting started with Lectora was extremely easy. After the initial purchase and trial phase that we did before, it took only like two weeks to get the first contents to the employees. First, I would recommend for people to be mindful of the fact that not every authoring tool has the same standards when it comes to responsivity, so be mindful of the fact which devices your end users are going to use in the end. And also, always consider how easy it is for external parties to feed content to your learning tools. This is extremely valuable.
