• Automatic recurring assignments are easy to get that refresher training out without needing to assign it fresh each time.
• Reporting 2.0 makes it easy to write and share your reports with just selected filters. Making it easy for people receiving it to just change what they need to see.
• Learning Admin Console makes it easy to peek at what is going on in your portal and open up connected reporting when needed.
• Success Center is a great resource for getting peer answers to questions and learning about the releases and suggesting changes that should be added to the roadmap.

• User-submitted external training is editable by users even after it has been approved and completed on their transcript, UNLESS a transcript lock is put into place--which also renders all submitted certificates un-openable once approved. Thus they can never be referenced after approval.
• The system is designed for annual compliance training to be re-versioned annually. I [believe it] is a very un-user friendly for training that we don't want to re-version because users take it on a rolling, as-needed basis.
• Some very key components are not configurable and cause our users a great deal of confusion. For example, there is no way to turn off the search bar on a user transcript or even to edit the prompt text within it. Our users are constantly searching for training here, and end up re-opening/re-launching completed courses rather than registering for a new occurrence of a course.
• In general, we find Cornerstone [onDemand] clunky and that it does not really meet our needs.

• Honestly, I can't really say that Absorb [LMS] has had a positive or negative impact on the business
• Some features are better than the last program we used, but nothing earth shaking
• Some features are less than ideal, but it's nothing we really feel the need to complain about
