Global Training Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A potential game changer for the learning and development industry" November 16, 2021 4.0 Has helped in creating a modern next gen learning solution in the company Pros Some of the newer features which supports digitized content Cons Some of the archaic features such as the primitive tool used to download evaluation or feedback results Alternatives considered [Litmos](https://www.capterra.com/p/133660/Litmos-LMS/) Reason for choosing Cornerstone LMS Great Sales pitch Review Source CB Christian B. HRIS Program Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best LMS/LXP out there " July 3, 2019 5.0 Excellent- we are consistently improving automation and reporting, and continue to win national training awards with CSOD in the background. Pros I have been in the HRIS world for awhile, and touched many different products. CSOD has been one of the best, the logic and function makes sense, it is intuitive, and the improvements always bring excitement and enthusiasm to the group. Looking for amazing dynamic software - that can handle either a push or a pull type learning experience, you have found it. Cons GPS - struggles. Developers tend to QC live with the early adopter and client community... they are truly Agile in that sense. GPS is undergoing change, and it has improved drastically in the past 2 years- there is a lot of work left to do.

Cons Seems like there are too many clicks for liking of our users. Also, we've noticed some reporting errors (a term I'll use loosely, considering we may not be super-users and are not understanding the reporting criteria/filters/etc...) Review Source MW Matt W. LMS Admin Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great LMS platform" November 17, 2021 5.0 Great experience overall. Love the training materials they make available for administrators. Pros How we can integrate it in our other various systems allowing for ease of access. Cons There are some limitations with functionality (like some reporting features) but they continue to improve each quarter. Review Source AS Ashley S. CVT Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good program " September 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Cornerstone is easy to learn, user friendly, clinic friendly and integrated well with labs. Cons It has a “dated” look to it, many functions are under utilized due to lack of hands on training. Review Source GM Giulia M. Organizational Development and Learning Specialist Used the software for: ### "Easy to use for the Learner and Administrator" November 13, 2015 5.0 The best part of the product is reporting functionality. I love the custom reporting function that allows me to gather and analyze specific data. It is easy to organize my reports and run them time and again. I also love that it has the ability to send my reports directly to my e-mail. The reporting has been especially helpful for when auditors request training records and managers need full reports of their direct reports' training. In addition to the reporting functionality, Cornerstone as a vendor has been great! I have an amazing team that I can rely on to provide me with the answers and solutions to my issues and initiatives. When evaluating a Learning Management System, I think that the support you receive after implementation is just as important as the product itself. Of course, you wish to receive a product that meets all of your business needs, but it's important to also look for a company that provides ongoing support. Cornerstone provides that to their clients. As an administrator, I found the system to be very easy to learn and use. It's logical and provides a clean look. Users require very little training on how to use the system. It's intuitive for them and for someone like me, saves time from needing to train users. Thus far, I have been able to implement all business initiatives through the Cornerstone system. There have even been a few requests that I have been able to accommodate using a work-around that Cornerstone helped me create. The system is well designed. I have never logged onto the system and have it be unavailable (unless during scheduled maintenance). You can trust this product and its team to fix system issues quickly and efficiently. Cornerstone consistently provides support to its clients. In the beginning stages, the sales person helps you to purchase the right product for your business needs. You are then paired with an implementation specialist who makes the process easy! After implementation, you are assigned a client success manager. My CSM always makes time for me and returns my e-mails/phone calls. In addition, I can always reach out to global product support and take part in webinars with other clients and CSMs to get answers to my questions. Review Source Keith L. Owner Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You can find more for cheaper" July 18, 2019 2.0 Pros The software does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is effective at housing courses and rolling them out to learners. Cons This software is expensive. There are so many other options out there that are much more cost-effective. Once you pick an LMS it is hard to change down the road. Review Source JW Jennifer W. Professional Development Director Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product to Meet Your Needs" November 10, 2021 5.0 Pros The ability to track all levels of training and user status. Cons Our implementation was a bit of a struggle but the company has changed that now Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Educator E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best learning software " November 5, 2023 5.0 Pros Works in almost any Android or OS. Is user friendly. Has genuine indepth content. Works well with collaboration too. Best experience for learners and teachers. Cons Nothing in particular. User friendly. Especially for beginners. Review Source DC Donna C. Business Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cornerstone Learning Review" November 16, 2021 5.0 Cornerstone Learning is robust and I appreciate the logic and continual enhancements. Pros I like the video tool. Easy to get learning up! Cons Reporting 2.0 has been a bit of a struggle. Reason for choosing Cornerstone LMS Again, I was not involved in the implementation process. Review Source AB Alan B. learning consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid performer" November 16, 2021 4.0 Solid and comfortable, feel like we are listened too but support at times could be better. Pros Packed with features and evolving in the right direction Cons Some legacy issues let it down but I can see the road map is trying to change this Review Source FV Franz V. Used the software for: ### "CSOD Client Services Structure Is Great!" December 8, 2015 4.0 Cornerstone OnDemand's Learning Cloud is a robust LMS that provides all of the necessary functions to properly administer an organizations training operations. Our training department manages hundreds of simultaneous training sessions every week, from self-paced elearning and webinars to ILT sessions and third party vendor training, CSOD has helped us keep accurate training records and produce valuable reporting data integral to our business strategy. There are many helpful functions within the Learning Cloud, but one in particular that has been a time-saver is the Test Engine. The Test Engine within CSOD has helped us reduce the cost of administering and maintaining tests. We constantly test our employees for job proficiency. After much thought and planning, although we had the option of building tests using authoring software like Adobe Captivate or Articulate Quizmaker and then uploading them to the Learning Cloud, we instead decided to use the Test Engine. The Test Engine allows us to build a database of test questions and categorize them. This makes organizing, updating and create new tests simple and faster than using authoring software. In addition to the useful functionality within the Learning Cloud, CSOD's client support team has been outstanding. I can't rave enough of how valuable it is for any company it is to have a DIRECT relationship with their LMS vendor. CSOD provides us with a dedicated client support representative and a whole team of troubleshooting partners that are available to answer questions or resolve issues. CSOD's client support is amazing. In addition to having actual people you can talk to over the phone, CSOD hosts several live webinars that touch upon different functionality within the software. There are even office hours where a CSOD specialist is available for discussions about LMS administration or strategy. With so many useful features and an absolutely fantastic client support structure, CSOD should definitely be in the conversation when discussing the top five enterprise level LMS applications in the market today.

Pros Su amplia variedad de cursos permite una capacitación que se adapta a las necesidades de cada usuario. No importa tu profesión o trabajo, con esta herramienta se logra mejorar tus habilidades y adquirir otras nuevas.Es ideal para perfeccionar y mejorar con tu equipo y sacar el máximo rendimiento a tu trabajo. Cons Su interfaz es un poco obsoleta e incómodo de usar, siento que se podría mejorar mucho la optimización y que podrían agregar atajos para facilitar su uso y que no sea tedioso al largo plazo. Review Source Shandus P. HR Generalist Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Does what it needs us to do - some challenges" January 24, 2019 4.0 Pros For us, it was good because we did not have an LMS prior to implementing Cornerstone. It allows us to have employees sign up for instructor-led training online, add the completed course to their transcript, track attendance, etc. It also provides a library of online learning options, which range in quality from unusable to decent. Cons So many challenges with creating automatic assignments for training and other required assignments, like with new hires. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Reliability Engineer Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trainings " January 9, 2021 4.0 Pros The SW well-organized: it provides a complete system trainings, each employee has different training program Cons Technical issues, sometimes it is impossible to complete a course due to browser support issues/defects Review Source ES Emirhan S.

Cons It can be brought to a more harmonious use. Review Source KB Kristin B. Customer Service Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gets the job done.." July 25, 2021 4.0 Over all its a great product, gets the job done! It’s just a matter of not being as “pleasuring” to look at and navigate in as some other sites, kind of blah and drab appearance wise but functions every where perfectly! Would still recommend this highly, would just advise may not have the best “appearance” until you get into your selected course. Pros Definitely a good product, tracks all completed and saved items/coursework. Has plenty of was to search for programs and locate what you are looking for. Easy to use and navigate through. Cons The “visual” is not as pleasing as I would expected, seems a little “dry” in its layout. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Training & HR Systems Specialist Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cornerstone Review" August 26, 2019 5.0 Cornerstone is great. They let everyone know the new features and do their best to get regional groups together to discuss their products. Pros Ease of use from an admin point of view. I also like how creative you can get with custom pages Cons End users complain that it is too big and too hard for them to navigate.

Cons The complexity of the system functionality can also leave something to be desired. Would love to see a more user friendly UI for not only the end user, but for the system administrator as well. Review Source MVB Michael Vincent B. Teacher III Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and Complex Software: A Thumbs Up!" June 11, 2021 5.0 Training employees using is a thumbs up! LMS are very user-friendly. They really listen to customers and always try to adapt to customers' needs. Pros I love how the Learning Assignment Tool was conceptualized. It is very user-friendly. What made me amazed about this software is ita ability to assign trainings to a maximum number of users. Quarterly upgrades make this software more efficient and relevant to users. Cons The mix of old and new features can be quite confusing, but still manageable to users. Administrative side of this software can be quite hard for a new user to manage. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Quality Assurance Analysts Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cornerstone to learn" December 18, 2018 5.0 CornerStone is a pretty user friendly repository for internal and external training courses and provides a centralized repository for these training videos. If you have missed an live training, you can get it once it is saved and added to cornerstone. Pros The software is easy to navigate and use. I can easily and quickly see what I have been assigned for training and when it is due. I can also easily search for other courses and classes to sign up for and to take. I can easily see what I have started and not yet completed. Cons The signing after you have completed the course or class isn't as easy as it could potentially be. You have to go back and Open and scroll and then click to sign. It would be nice if there were less clicks to get to this signing function. I often forget to sign off after I have completed a training. Review Source SC Sara C. HR Compliance Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great LMS for Larger Businesses with Extensive Training Needs" April 15, 2019 5.0 Pros The ability to create groups and assign training to those groups systematically. Cons This may just be the way our company has set it up, but for me, reporting is not always intuitive. When you assign training as part of a bundle such as "New hire", "Annual recertification", ect. the individual class inside the bundle doesn't pull in report by that course name. You must select every bundle in which the course is assigned to get an accurate report of completions. Review Source PS Prachy S.

Standard Reports makes an admin life super easy. New features and releases are exciting. Cons Manual efforts for customizing any feature. Review Source ST Sharon T. Instructional Designer Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great Talent Mgmt Portal" October 8, 2019 5.0 Lets you assign complex training (curriculums) to a complex organization and groups. Reporting is basic. Pros LMS, onboarding, performance management, collaboration and communication, social - everything you need for talent management in a corporation/ Cons The admin side is very difficult to use. Also, Cornerstone has the habit of halfway launching new features without fully "baking" them. They push out "flashy" features to gain new clients but dont execute well at all. Review Source MM Melanie M. Learning Coordinator Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tons of resources!" November 22, 2021 5.0 Pros Online help and Success centre are my go-to anytime I need assistance. I like that I can search just about anything that I'm having trouble with the administration. Cons Designing custom pages is a bit tricky if you're not familiar with HTML but there are a few courses that you can take from CyberU.
