Additionally, Cornerstone LMS is highly customizable and user-friendly as both an end user and administrator.

What differentiates Cornerstone LMS from other similar products?

I have not experienced other LMSs honestly, but from what I have learned in my years using it, the breadth of possibility and level of customization is king.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to customize, by far. Custom pages in the system, login pages, headers to pages, etc. Being able to brand the system (which functions beautifully) for our culture is a huge benefit.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some processes can be very "steppy" to create, but it functions well.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Take your time testing to get familiar, and take advantage of the testing environments.
