Continuing Education Program Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Learning Management System Cloud" September 26, 2016 3.5 Pros Having a specific success manager to our account. An advocate for our voice. Each client has a great voice. Cons Some functionality cannot be changed and it drives me nuts. Some things not easy for the user to navigate. Review Source AH Andrea H. HR Technical Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cornerstone OnDemand - very user friendly" November 17, 2015 4.5 Pros We like that it's a fairly simple implementation and that it's easy for our end users. Also, it really reinforces the lifecycle of an employee (from hire to retire) - a one-stop shop if you will. Cons I think Cornerstone OnDemand does a great job of hitting the big picture items, but there seems to be a lot of little things that if they were fixed/changed, would make life easier for all their users. For example, consistency on where a Submit button is on each screen would be a huge win even though it seems like a small fix. Review Source RS Rachel S. Director of Learning & Development Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Unhappy customer" September 20, 2016 1.5 Pros The amount of data it can store and the back end reporting capabilities. Cons There are too many limitations to what you can and cannot do. Our firm has a hard time developing programs within the LMS because of the restrictions we get with posting content, searching for items, and making changes to the canned content they make available. Review Source BB Brittany B. Used the software for: ### "Emerging ATS Software" November 11, 2015 3.0 It has been at least 2 years since I have used CSOD ATS software, so many things/updates/releases have occurred. During the implementation of CSOD ATS, the company that I was implementing for was pleased overall, however, there were a few issues that was due to the immaturity of the product. In particular, issues were around location OU hierarchy that was built into the system. Since the company was on CSOD LMS globally, their OU location hierarchy had a global list of locations, however, ATS was only being released in the US, and since the clouds are integrated, the organizational structures that were in place for the LMS were the same as in ATS. This was a particular downside for this organization, however, it could also be a plus for other organizations to be able to utilize 1 data set across cloud platforms. Review Source CS Cindy S. Director of Learning and Development Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CSOD Review" December 3, 2015 4.0 Pros Powerful, easy for end users to use required very little training, customizable Cons Admin side can be difficult, and there is not always consistency in training documents Review Source JU Jessica U. Learning and Development Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to Use" December 1, 2015 4.0 Pros Our CSM's have been great to work with. They have all been very responsive and are great about following up with questions we pose during calls. Overall Global Support has been helpful, but there was an issue with receiving a call back due to long wait times. It takes time to learn the product, but once you do it is pretty easty to use. Cons There can be a lack of flexibility with the product. I feel many new features just miss the mark of being great and truly effective. Review Source CF Curt F. Sr Appl Engineer Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Powerful with lots of Configuration" December 17, 2015 4.0 Pros The system has a ton of capabilities and you can configure just about anything. The vendor is very active with their clients and it seems they are trying hard to keep them informed and involved in the direction of the product. Cons The system can be confusing and is sometimes challenging to find what you need. The vendor does have some processes that could be streamlined to provide faster turn around when issues are being worked. Review Source TK Terri K. COO Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cornerstone LMS" December 6, 2017 5.0 Pros Robust library of courses Excellent support Polished, professional appearance Allows for set up for multiple users Great reporting by job/ title/ licensure requirements Cons Very challenging set up Expensive! Other solutions are more affordable Can be quite intimidating for new users or those with little software experience. Need a good IT support system in place Review Source DM David M. Consultant Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love Cornerstone on Demand Training!" November 17, 2015 5.0 Pros I really enjoy how easy it is to use.. i am not very computer savvy but it is very easy to follow and their customer service is top-notch! The training modules are very well done and put together but not to overwhelming to those not very savvy with their computers. Cons I don't have anything bad to say about the vendor or product, I was thoroughly pleased. Review Source BL Ben L. Director of E-Learning Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hard tool to use and navigate" June 28, 2016 1.0 Pros They offer many features. They have many different areas of the tool that could be useful. Cons Each feature has an additional cost. Also the software is outdated and takes a long time to navigate. Review Source AC Anita C. support Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lots of options for a variety of business types" December 2, 2015 4.0 Pros Great system for managing employees. Lots of customization options to fit a wide variety of corporate needs. Cons Could use more in-depth help documentation and use case scenarios. Review Source NE Nancy E. Manager, Training and Development Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tools to get everyone going in the same direction" January 18, 2016 4.0 Pros We are changing from our present LMS to Cornerstone. Our old system didn't have the capabilities Cornerstone seems to offer. We are just getting started with them and already we can see how much better our LMS will be because of the detailed way managers, admins, learners, etc. can be set up to manage their groups. We really like that classes can be associated with the positions and roles in the company. In our old system everyone could see every class which caused confusion at times. Cons The system has many moving parts and at first look can overwhelm administrators and managers. The support team has trouble getting down to this level when explaining the system. Review Source JS Jacob S. HCM Support Specialist Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not for Neophytes, but amazing." November 16, 2015 3.5 Pros This software is an amazing tool to track employees and how they progress. Cons The amount of time it takes to implement a new functionality. Review Source AI Alexis I. Retail Used the software for: ### "Cornerstone: Simple & Effective" November 6, 2014 5.0 Pros I can upload a variety of different file types, from SCORM to MS Office to Adobe. Their online support is always fantastic as well. Cons Our biggest issue came from the users who had to complete their training, but the internet connection in their stores was weak and wouldn't allow them to launch the module. This was never Cornerstone's fault, but they did everything they could to identify the issue and help us through it. Review Source TS Thomas S. Lead Technical Trainer Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Learning Management Tool Implementation Project" December 22, 2015 4.0 Pros Cornerstone is very organized and prepared. I contacted them through a recommendation and they were quick to respond. They have a large team of support from sales to implementation to on-going customer support. I am at the beginning of my design project, so I haven't worked yet with the entire implementation team. However, all my questions and concerns have been addressed quickly and to my satisfaction. Cons There is a steep learning curve for how to use the product. They provided a sandbox for me to experiment with and I found it difficult to figure things out on my own. Review Source SW Scott W. Manager, HR Technology Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cornerstone Talent Management Suite Review" March 19, 2015 4.5 Pros I like the modern interface, ease of use, customer service, and overall functionality. Cons The cost compared to other vendors evaluated. Reporting and analytics need quite a bit of work. Review Source BY Bruce Y. Senior Manager - Compliance Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Looking good so far" February 6, 2018 5.0 Over time we probably will get a better idea of how to use all the functionality but we really did just start the deployment Pros They were very price competitive and gave a great demonstration of their product which had to be repeated for our management team. Cons I do sense that it may be difficult for us to dedicate resources to hold up on our end of the tasks. It is not a turn-key service and we have to create a position in the company to oversee deployment and maintenance of our program. But that is to be expected. Review Source CL Candice L. Corporate Trainer Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Learned on the job!" December 1, 2015 4.0 Pros I was tasked with learning Cornerstone quickly and with little to no guidance from the previous administrator. With assistance from our contact Leigh H. and vast the information available in the success page I was able to get a firm grasp on how to use this program to serve my organization. Cons There does not seem to be much room available to alter the themes or outlook of the program. You do have the ability to add existing widgets on the employee landing page. Review Source GR Glen R. Leadership Development Coordinator Public Policy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful Service and Support" November 20, 2015 5.0 Pros The vendor is extremely willing to provide support and guidance when needed. The product is the best in the industry and is flexible to adapt to any company's needs. Cons I have no gripes about Cornerstone at this time. Whenever we have had an issue, they have resolved it with satisfaction. Review Source JV Justine V. Project Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cornerstone OnDemand" July 3, 2018 5.0 Pros So easy to log our time, track things, and handle all expenses at work. The interface is self-explanatory, and user friendly. Cons I have no cons about this product. I'm new to using it and have had no problems yet. The product is easy to use. Review Source GA Ginger A. Sys Adm Used the software for: ### "We went live with Recuriting and Onboarding in mid July" November 13, 2015 3.0 The module is user friendly and Cornerstone has addressed issues for us as they have arose. Review Source CS Chelsie S. Trainer Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Things have been great so far!" February 10, 2016 5.0 Pros I like that they partner you with an implementation expert that is willing to walk you through the launch process. Cons The online resources can be confusing or out of date. Some of the modules that I took didn't have the most up to date or accurate information. Review Source EA Elaine A. Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Learning Management System" April 22, 2014 4.5 Pros Our Customer Service Manager is an excellent resource and responds promptly. Cons When you have to reach out to Global Support, they often take an extended period of time to get back to you or aren't very helpful. Review Source TF Terri F. Talent Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worst customer service or support I have ever worked with" January 31, 2017 1.0 We purchased Cornerstone to be our LMS of choice, we are a 250 strong company. From the moment it was sold and the invoice paid we heard almost nothing. We were offered no implementation support, no advice on how to set up. We were given no customer success manager and as such, we didn't use the product. When they sent a further invoice I advised I didn't want to continue to use it and heard absolutely nothing back. We just got shut off with no communication at all. The features were not all ready and very basic. I would not recommend using this company at all Pros Tracks training Cons Zero support. They sold and ran Review Source Similar Products Featured
