Anyone with experience of Cornerstone and/or Elmo?

Hi folks, we've got yet another "consultant" foisted upon us by the powers that be and he appears to be pushing Cornerstone in a big way even though, as he keeps stating, "no decision on vendors has been taken"! He seems to be pushing Cornertsone and Talent2.

As far as I can see there is nothing Cornerstone can do that Moodle can't (see here).

He has also mentioned Elmo a few times.

I'd really appreciate some feedback on both systems re how they stack up against Moodle.

Bottom line, all I want is to ensure we have the best system in place at our organisation. Although I've been using Moodle since 2005 I'm not a rusted on die hard but at the moment I don't want the organisation to get locked into a propriety system unless there are tangible benefits.

Hi Harry

This kind of decisions are not made on factual grounds. For example, your "consultant" don't know Moodle but propose three (commercial) products. Then why can't you propose Moodle without knowing the other three? Provided that you are convinced that Moodle is the right thing for your organization, of course. If you have been using Moodle since 2005 you are in the best position to judge the situation.

Yes, the vendor lock of the other systems is a great plus for Moodle. A decade ago people were skeptical towards Free and Open Source Software arguing that there can't trust the "vendor". Isn't that ironical?
