Pros
I have used learnster as part of a project, mainly in connection with specific process automation requirement. It was useful to have a platform that supports knowledge sharing and makes relevant project information acessible.
The simplicity of the system is a major strength. It is easy to navigate and the user experience (UX) is well thought-out and intuitive, enabling both administrators and users to find what they are looking for quickly.
I like that Cornerstone is flexible and can be configured and adapted to the organisation's processes without the need for knowledge of coding. I like that the different modules are now more seamlessly integrated and that they appear as a holistic solution.
Many opportunities across most HR processes.

Cons
My experience with Learnster has been limited to a particular project use case, so I haven't explored all its features. I don't have enough exposure to comment on any specific limitations at this point.
The biggest challenge is the complexity of how programmes are structured compared to individual courses. Assignments, tagging and certain settings are managed in different places, which makes it difficult to get a clear overview. This makes administration more time-consuming and increases the risk of overlooking a setting.
I still miss some of the back-end user interface being updated with a modern look and feel. There is also not always consistent functionality for administrators (sometimes there is automatic saving, other times you have to click the "save" button in several places and different locations).
Some modules don't keep up with the technical and visual development of others.
