Cornerstone OnDemand is a cloud-based application for talent management. Cornerstone offers suites for recruiting, training, performance monitoring and planning, learning, and HR data management. It is scaled for enterprises.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/cg/GX/XVJCDR2KAI0J.PNGCornerstone OnDemandCornerstone OnDemand Admin Reflections2019-08-15T21:02:11.700ZCornerstone OnDemand is currently being used by Southwest Powerpool as a company tool throughout our organization. We currently use the learning product the most. It is the source of record for training for our employees and our members. This is very helpful for audits. We utilize the Instructor-Led Training (ILT) function and online courses. We have a large number of active curriculums currently. The second product we use the most currently is Performance Management to manage performance reviews, goals, assessments, and development plans.,Provides unlimited online free training and resources.
Quarterly updates to enhance the product.,There are separate development, testing, and production environments which is standard. However, you must rebuild everything from scratch in Production once you have it the way you would like to see it in staging. This includes custom links and pages.
Most support that requires a technical team comes with a cost!,9,It gave us immediate dashboard and reporting capabilities.,Sage HRMS, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP CrystalTaiquera McNeelyTransforms your candidate experience...but more development is needed to support volume / seasonal recruiters.2019-04-10T00:52:36.382ZWe implemented the Recruitment Suite to modernize and simplify our existing recruiting processes, making it quicker and easier for candidates to apply whilst enhancing their overall user experience. We are currently only using Cornerstone to focus on our high volume seasonal hires. If there are enough wins, we will be using Cornerstone to facilitate our senior/head office recruitment and onboarding programme.,Our application process has now gone from an average of 30 minutes to just 5 minutes. As a result, we've seen a 100% increase in candidate numbers which, for a volume seasonal recruitment drive, is fantastic.
The entire candidate experience has been transformed and really puts the candidate in charge.
The onboarding process has made a big impact. We've replaced so many outdated processes ( involving printing/scanning/physically signing, etc.) with processes that keep everything online, making it so much easier for the candidates and quicker for the recruiters and HR teams.,It's an off the shelf package, so while you can add in custom fields (a big plus), it's very rigid in terms of how it is designed to be used. Not every company works in the same way, and I've found that a lot of the recruitment functionality is more suited to high level or blue chip hires, rather than seasonal or bulk hires.
Specific issues we are having revolve around the references functionality. We ended up having to develop something in-house, as the system doesn't let you verify referee details o relationships prior to triggering the reference request. In addition, the form for capturing referee details only requests a name and email address. As a company working with children and young adults, we need to ensure the references we obtain are professional and tie in with a person's work history.
The self-scheduling of interviews is a great feature, but it could be so much better. It's impossible to see what slots you have offered to someone, and it's also impossible to see what slots each recruiter has free. As such, you end up inviting people to book in an interview...only for them to discover that all the slots are already filled.
Notifications. Generally, this is poor in Cornerstone. If, for example, a candidate requests alternative interview dates, there is no notification that goes to the recruiter or person who initially created the invite. Likewise, if you use the email functionality within Cornerstone (which we'd like to do, as this helps to maintain a full history) when a candidate replies to the email there is no easy way of knowing they have replied unless recruiters go into the user's profile. As a high volume recruiter, this just isn't workable.
There are a number of other areas in the system that are 'OK' but with some development could be great. They include: Offer Letters, Editing/Deleting Data (if you want to update a field on an application form or delete a document you've uploaded...you need to put in a service request with Cornerstone), Reporting, and the overall 'bigger picture/ view' of a candidate and their application/work history.,7,Application numbers YoY are up by over 100%. This has been achieved without any additional marketing spend.
Time to hire has been reduced by 54%. The ability for candidates to sign e-sign offer letters means that most offers are being accepted within a matter of days, which helps us to have a better understanding of our overall staffing requirements/targets. We are no longer waiting for the morning post to see which candidates have accepted!
Incoming posts and emails into the Recruitment Department have reduced by 74%.
The planned reduction in headcount within the Recruitment Team has not yet been realized. Whilst, on the whole, we are seeing efficiencies, there are areas where we are having to introduce 'workarounds' that are eating up these efficiencies.,Core HR, MidlandHR iTrent, CIPHR and LumesseDarren McleanCornerstone OnDemand Just Makes Sense2019-07-06T18:59:48.535ZWe use Cornerstone OnDemand firm-wide and internationally.

It has improved a lot over the course of the past year, and I look forward to what the end result will be.
The software itself is a millennial, and has the same sort of quirks but it gets the job done.
As an admin, learning the language areas and understanding the nuance of terms has been a challenge. I am consistently reminding my stakeholders that the term they are using refers to a different area of the system which causes confusion. This has more to do with CornerStone OnDemand being around for so long, meaning there's been plenty of time for some things to be named similar enough to confuse things.,10,Cornerstone OnDemand has been our LMS as we have undergone some of the most rapid expansion in our firm's history.

From day one, our employees and future potential candidates are introduced to Cornerstone. We use it to track our applicants for our various positions throughout our organization, as well as maintaining an ongoing talent pool for key positions within each department. In addition, we use Cornerstone to roll out the new employee's onboarding plan and training matrices for their specific position to seamlessly introduce them to our company and their departments. Finally, we utilize Cornerstone's Performance module to actively manage our employee's performance on a semi-annual and annual basis.,Cornerstone's support structure is top notch. Whenever an issue comes up, there are multiple resources available to find the most appropriate solution.
Cornerstone actively updates their different modules to make sure their programs are up-to-date on the industries latest trends and functionalities.
Cornerstone's new analytics capabilities increase my companies ability to track KPIs and metrics. Information is the key to making informed decisions, and they provide those resources with a simple click of a button.,The input of training records could definitely be improved. They have been working hard to update this process, but still could have some work done.

Our users also participate in virtual instructor-led training sessions through an Adobe Connect integration. We like Cornerstone because it allows us to easily report out on completions, which is often needed for regulatory purposes. We also like Cornerstone because of the customization options that are available.,Reporting: they are continually working to improve report creation and usage from an administrator aspect as well as end-user aspect
Customization and Security: you can divide users up to receive different Welcome Page views and narrow down who can access specific content and areas of the system
Integrations with other software.
Globalization: it's easy to manage the system when your workforce consists of users who speak multiple languages.
Implementation.,Support for Administrators: the level of product support is not where it should be when it comes to answering hard questions/resolving reported defects (but they are actively working to improve on this).
Bulk updates to catalog: some features that you may want to apply to all content are not able to be bulk updated, which means you have to open and "edit" each training item individually to make edits one by one. Or you can, of course, open a billable work order.
Restricting access to Admins: it seems as though Cornerstone sometimes wants to keep certain things restricted so that they can force you to open a billable work order (i.e. reversing transcript status when errors are made).,9,With the virtual instructor led training integration, we have been able to deliver more consistent training to our dispersed workforce and have it automatically tracked in the system.
Because of the customization opportunities, and flexible user management and assignment feature, we are able to always ensure the learners have access to the correct training based on where they live (the state where they sell insurance) and what language they speak.,Microsoft Power BI, Articulate 360, CamtasiaMary Channon, MATDCornerstone Useful for Compliance2019-08-16T20:15:08.703ZIt's a useful system that saves us time in compliance.

Currently, we use the learning and performance module.
Learning: currently many of our live professional development classes and required compliance classes are set-up, ran, and recorded on performance. This solves our business need of having a centralized location to track and manage work-related training. Currently, our issue is content. We tried to work with LinkedIn Learning, but had trouble setting it up with Cornerstone - specifically with single sign-on.
Performance: currently we have an annual performance review. We would like to see if there are capabilities within the performance to incorporate 360 reviews—more specifically peer reviews or possibly client reviews. We would also like to see if there is a possibility for the system to support more frequent feedback and meetings. Maybe conversations?,I like the look and feel of the carousels. Learner home is great, but again, for our organization, we need more content for it to be effective.
Performance is very robust. Building tasks has many components and allows us the flexibility to have detailed reviews.
Signing up for training especially with single sign on and deep links is great!
Reminder emails are very helpful, especially during performance.,Build in the ability for more frequent and consistent feedback in performance (maybe conversation?)

Cornerstone understands that every company as a unique need.,Cornerstone realizes that every company has a unique use case and provides multiple solutions.
The sleek and clean user interface makes it easy for employees to navigate and engage.
The ability to dynamically assign users to groups, training, performance reviews and other tasks as reduced a lot of administrative hassles.,Because Cornerstone offers so many solutions, it can be confusing down in the weeds of security roles and permissions.
Global Product Support while improving is slow to connect when a ticket is opened and sometime feel like you’re going in circles to try to get an answer.
The admin side of things can be cumbersome and is not always intuitive.,8,We have seen time savings and efficiencies as a result of implanting Cornerstone.
Using this system has allowed our company to challenge the status quo and break through barriers to gain better engagement.Verified UserCornerstone has become our Learning Management Solution2019-07-19T15:58:34.192ZCornerstone OnDemand is a very powerful and complex Learning Management System. It has become the foundation of our Employee Development Department. We have integrated the Cornerstone LMS into our company culture. Once we implemented the LMS, we quickly had entire departments wanting to utilize Cornerstone as the method to deliver and track employee training and development.
Previously, our company had not standardized a system to deliver and track training. Now with Cornerstone, we are able to automate the delivery of training based on a number of factors. We can push training to new employees when employees switch job titles or departments or assign training as needed. Using this system we have been able to deliver training more efficiently and it has allowed us to align training across our business and gives our management real-time ability to track employee training.
We have been able to roll-out company-wide training on updates to critical business processes is less than a week. Before Cornerstone, it would have taken us over a month to deliver this training and used valuable time and resources. Each company-wide training delivered through Cornerstone has a cost savings of approximately $35,000.
The complexity of this LMS does require considerable time to configure and learn, it has the power to solve virtually any training need. It is well worth the investment.,Cornerstone is designed to easily upload and deliver eLearning courses that are designed and constructed with content authoring software.
The complexity of the system allows administrators to construct training delivery solutions to meet almost any need.
Cornerstone offers a wide-variety of resources for administrators to troubleshoot, get expert advice, and access to professional learning communities.,Their Global Product Support can be very slow and unresponsive, however, they have taken measures to improve their customer services and we have seen some improvements.
The complexity of the security permissions can be overwhelming, better out of the box roles would be more helpful.
The training content available for Cornerstone administrators is not very up-to-date. Sometimes the videos or screenshots are a few years old.,9,Cornerstone can bring tremendous cost savings if companies can convert instructor-led classes to eLearning, online courses.
The LMS has allowed us to deliver training more efficiently to the appropriate audience.
It has given our managers access to a variety of employee training records that allow them to understand business needs and opportunities for employee development.
The ability to run reports, and automate training delivery has made compliance training much easier.,,iSpring Suite, Adobe Captivate, PTC WindchillVerified UserCornerstone - Great LMS with tons of flexibility2019-08-16T12:21:08.667ZCornerstone is used as our LMS system by all departments in the organization. It is used to house all of the HSE training records, professional skills training, as well as certifications. It is currently being used to onboard new employees to the organization, distribute ethics training requirements, and house company policies.,Reporting is easy and intuitive- the new Reporting 2.0 allows you to drag and drop fields and instantly see the results.
It is very easy to create and manage learning assignments
You have the ability to create custom web pages so that you can bring in custom content and personalize your user experience.,Some tasks such as data entry or system settings can be manual and labor intensive. If you have 50 training sessions that need to be modified -- there isn't a mass way to make edits.
Loading in historical training data can be a pain. The Data Load Wizard isn't user friendly and requires a lot of trial and error.
The survey functionality needs to be improved. Admins should be able to generate surveys on the fly ( like SurveyMonkey.),9,We have a variety of groups with different types of learning content. All of them can use the same LMS.
Reporting is made easy - so we spend less time manually manipulating spreadsheets and managing rosters.,Articulate 360, Microsoft Office 2016, Workday Human Capital ManagementVerified UserCornerstone OnDemand really captures the essence of learning2019-08-15T19:51:41.074ZOur company is using the Cornerstone OnDemand Learning Suite across the entire organization. As of right now, it mainly addresses compliance and audit training in order to keep track of "required training." This is also to track SOP certifications. We are in the process of trying to implement some microlearning content in order to better engage our users.,Their quarterly releases - It helps to attend the webinars, office hours, release recaps and future releases. This is their main strength and why I want to be a Cornerstone OnDemand expert!
Their scheduled maintenance - They often remind us when they are going to do updates. We have not had any hiccups.,Their ease of security roles. For example, in order to change permissions for one user, we have to take them out of the group and then add them back in with more credentials.
Easier way to integrate e-authoring tools within Cornerstone instead of importing them. In other words, this makes it easier for troubleshooting.,9,It is great for tracking compliance and auditing our warehouse associates.Verified UserPractical system with many uses2019-08-15T18:14:35.739ZThe whole organization uses Cornerstone OnDemand.

When new hires come on board, we use the platform as part of our training plan, offering online learning in addition to recording our ILT training sessions. Our employees in the field span the entire state, so this helps us to offer on-demand training with less travel. In addition, it allows us to use our in-person training for more hands-on experiences, since the "lecture" content can be viewed within the LMS. Using online learning also allows us to offer more consistent training of our agents and their staff.,The platform itself has every "bell and whistle" you could possibly want. They seem to have a solution for every need outside of what might be ordinary. I feel they do a great job of asking for input from their clients and are continuously striving to improve and meet their customers' needs.
The regional user groups that are offered are an added bonus, allowing you to establish a community of other Cornerstone users in your area. These meetings also provide a nice explanation and Q & A opportunity regarding upcoming changes that are being made to the system.,I don't think that the estimated time for getting the system up and running is realistic. I know I am not the only one whose implementation took a lot longer than what was projected. While it's nice to be told that it will only take 8 weeks, when it ends up taking much longer, it's a bad first impression. I'm not saying that the extra time is necessary because of Cornerstone, but I'm sure that a more realistic estimate could be given or even a response that is not definite and reflects the fact that it takes a different amount of time depending upon each case.
The huge library of online content is nice, but also overwhelming. It would be nice to have some really basic curricula developed and assigned to new users so they complete some of them before implementation even begins. The learning curve is pretty steep and the general road map of what to learn first could be clearer.
I think that the person involved with the implementation process needs to know more about the company and how things are run. From my experience, if I had a day to talk through our company structure, our current trainings, and where we are hoping to go, I think I would have had a better experience during implementation. I never really felt like my person completely understood our structure, our obstacles, and our vision.,9,We haven't been using it long enough to evaluate this. Overall, it has helped with travel expenses and time saved now that we can track attendance in the system rather than our old methods.,Articulate Storyline, CamtasiaVerified UserFair and Balanced2019-07-05T17:31:46.372ZWe use Cornerstone OnDemand:

We currently are implementing it across the whole organization. Cornerstone OnDemand addresses needs we had in creating a formal and online process for recruiting, an electronic process for performance, and a more robust training system.,Learning Management is their strong suit and where they started. It is robust and addresses many of our needs as it can be customized in some ways to fit the business.
The recruiting platform really hits many of the check boxes for what a company needs to have a fully automated process. It time stamps and tracks all the metrics needed to understand how well the recruiting effort is doing.
Cornerstone is constantly updating their modules to better serve their customers. This has been seen in the Learning and recruiting modules.,Pricing! When we first contracted with Cornerstone OnDemand, their pricing was very competitive and implementation was extremely fair. However, now they have implementation fees that can raise the cost to a ludicrous level and that takes away from their good product.
Turnover: We have had several "Client Success Managers" over the short time we have had Cornerstone OnDemand as well as three Sales Reps.
The performance system is not very modern. Difficult to create and track development plans and reviews. The idea of always having to create a task is inconvenient and archaic in my opinion. They could make the processes much easier.
Succession Planning needs a lot of work!,7,It is hard to quantify the number of applicants we now have for the many positions we have had open. These applicants stay in the system of which we go back to for the same position at later dates. This is invaluable.
The training platform recently helped us with our annual audit.

For Learning we utilize the software to assign online and instructor-led training as well as let users take online training on their own. For Performance we use annual performance reviews, ad hoc reviews, and goals.,Learning: The learning assignment tool does a great job at both one off assignments and dynamic assignments that can be based on different Organization Units.
System: The system is very customizable which is great for allowing it to fit within your organization. It does make it a more complex system to manage that something that is out of the box but if your organization is complex, this is definitely a pro. You can assign custom fields in most places in the system too.
System: Security is robust and allows for many different permissions that can be assigned to groups then people can be added to groups either as a person or by an organization unit or by custom fields.
Learning: It handles instructor led training very well which is something many other LMS's do not do at all. In our organization we have many of these every year that we need to track for CPE (Continuing Professional Education) purposes.
System: Web service (API) or FTP interfaces are available for automating the data flow in and out of Cornerstone.
System: Custom Reporting works very well and allows a report writer to create and share reports to users as needed. I use the custom reports 100% over the standard reports to get exactly what I need to the correct users.
System: Customizable emails can be configured at the system level as well as at the learning object level or performance task level as needed. It is recommend for easy of administration to utilize the system level as much as possible for any types of future changes (such as logo or wording changes needed).
Performance: Performance tasks are very configurable to go out to who you need them do and shut down on a schedule.
Performance: The ability to bring in last years goals so you can rate them as well as a next year goal planning is a great feature.
System: Online help is very robust and very thorough.
Releases: Quarterly releases are very well managed with many details in the release notes and full cycle to complete testing in a Stage system.,Performance: I would be great if the system would prevent launching an ad-hoc review to yourself. This is the number one support request we have to address, deleting these erroneous reviews.
System: In many places, the system could really use the ability to mass edit. For example, you have 25 sessions to adjust a field on, it would be nice to mark each checkbox and then edit in mass. There are lots of administrative pieces that are very click intensive.
System: Their community resources need a much better boolean search system. It currently doesn't support using quotes to search phrases or dates to eliminate posts from 2010 which are just no longer relevant. The applies to their Idea forum, without the more complex searches we end up with 50 ideas on the same suggestion instead of 1 idea with all the votes for it tallied on the same suggestion.
Performance: If you have custom emails at the performance task level and the task is still active, you cannot edit the email at all. This is especially troublesome on the task for ad-hoc reviews which is ongoing.
System: The biggest overall issue I have is with their support ticket system. It can take 30 days to get a response to tickets. They are trying to fix this but so far this is my biggest problem.,7,Our business is reliant on providing and reporting on the amount of CPE credits our service professionals have. The learning product is essential in providing the ability to present our learners with CPE learning and to accurately report on the completed CPE training.
The self-service aspect of the system sending reminders has a large impact on the bottom line. We no longer have to dedicate a person to sending out reports on past due training. We still have to do a part of this since there is always the ones who ignore automated system reminders but it is greatly reduced.
Due to the ability of the system to allow custom fields and send out automated email reminders, we have reduced our dependency on manual functions and put the information in the hands of those who need it in a timely manner.,iCIMS Talent Acquisition Software Suite, SilkRoad Onboarding (formerly RedCarpet),2600,6,Handling instructor led training including the details of the training so that we can issue CPE for the training.

Increasing support for mobile learning. Our field is relying on mobile devices to stay connected. Cornerstone OnDemand continues to improve their support for mobile through web browser support and mobile apps.,Global Product Support. Their support team can be slow to respond and resolve issues. They are constantly blaming it on growing pains. However, that cannot be an excuse. Every company wants to grow bigger and they need to adjust their support model to accommodate it.
Multimedia support. Cornerstone OnDemand does support video learning and embedding videos on custom pages, however, they just rolled this out to everyone and it has some catching up to do. Competitors have supported this feature for quite some time and are ahead of the curve on it.
Responsive design support for Welcome and Custom pages. Cornerstone OnDemand is making much of their system responsive for mobile use. However, the page builder that is used to make your Welcome and Custom pages has not been updated for some time. It doesn't always support some HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript functions. The work-arounds to get some designs to work correctly is troublesome.,8,Cornerstone has saved us a significant amount on travel costs for training. We still use classroom training for certain position in the company, however, it has allowed us to distribute ongoing training to the field employees as it is available.,Absorb Anywhere LMS, Blackboard and SuccessFactors Talent Solutions,Articulate Storyline, WebEx Event Center,3400,3,Online learning management. All of our traceable online learning is done through Cornerstone OnDemand. We have a rich learner history logged in the system.
Social learning/collaboration. Within the last year we have started to leverage the social learning aspects of Cornerstone OnDemand to create Communities and Cohorts, where our employees can learn together virtually.
Video hosting. We have leveraged our unlimited video storage to host more online training videos that we create in-house.,We have been able to use Cornerstone OnDemand to host custom assessments and some very complex reporting for our field and managers to access.
We have used Cornerstone OnDemand to distribute informal learning videos that are themed and directed at our sales force.,We are hoping to drive more mobile use through Cornerstone Learn, a new mobile app for iOS and Android.
We are hoping to leverage the system to host curated content for our sales force to help drive growth.,8,For end-users, it is very easy to locate, launch and complete online training. This applies to all type of content that Cornerstone allows you to host as a learning object.
The new learner home and learner search bring a modern design to the system that is very similar to online streaming services that people have experience using.
As an admin, loading content is very easy to do and has been made even easier with recent improvements.
User management has been easy for our admins and provides us with the tools to properly troubleshoot any issues.,Cornerstone has been transitioning their system to an updated UI and UX design, which has been very nice. However, it has been happening slowly and some of the older areas that have yet to be updated seem more difficult to work with.
We have had some minor issue with our nightly feed that manages our user accounts with SAP.
Mainly working with their support group is the most cumbersome activity to perform with Cornerstone. They do not have quick response times unless you pay for an advanced support tier.,Yes,8,Yes,Product Features

Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor,I think we would have included more people within the organization when the choice was being made, but at the time it did not have the buy-in like it does now. I would have also leveraged sites like TrustRadius to explore the experiences of many other companies using the system.,Yes,5,Yes,Our Customer Success Manager has provided excellent support many times. He is easily available through both email and phone and has escalated our support tickets when needed and reached out to other customers for their insights. Additionally, we have assisted other customers with our input and experiences when asked. There is a nice network of users in that respect.Jamie DrahosCornerstone as a key partner2017-04-27T21:38:57.910ZWe recognised the need to implement an online recruitment tool to standardise the recruitment process through one simple, central system.
This online tool also had to facilitate the introduction of assessments for external recruitment and to accommodate the different requirements within LuxairGroup, properly educating managers to be responsible for their own recruitment and to execute all requests and approvals online.
We also wished to find a recruitment solution which could offer the scope and possibility to develop beyond recruitment and towards a more business strategic talent acquisition.
Cornerstone offered us the best opportunity to use the same provider for their entire workforce and for every stage in the employee lifecycle. Having already used Cornerstone for training, LuxairGroup understood the benefits of the technology.
Close cooperation between Cornerstone and LuxairGroup helped to configure the system efficiently. Whenever LuxairGroup faced any particular difficulties, Cornerstone provided assistance by organising a workshop to demonstrate how to address and overcome them.,Professionalised recruitment. Every aspect of recruitment is now centralised, aligning and standardising recruitment processes across every individual role. LuxairGroup has also done away with laborious paper hiring requests and approvals.
Automatised processes. LuxairGroup has compiled the data for 300 different job descriptions to provide hiring templates for managers and configure automatic emails to improve the overall communication. An SAP interface has enabled the HR database to be automatically updated when a candidate accepts an offer, greatly reducing administration and improving data accuracy.
Changed company behaviours. LuxairGroup has succeeded in educating managers how to use this new recruitment tool, changing their behaviour. Managers no longer have to seek physical signatures for approval and make all hiring requests online rather than at weekly meetings.
Improved employer branding. Three job profile videos have been shared and watched all around the world and at job fairs, potential employees are willing to wait for hours to meet a LuxairGroup representative. The company has even been nominated for an award for the most attractive employer in Luxembourg.
Moved beyond recruitment. This new system has helped LuxairGroup to evolve beyond recruitment towards talent acquisition, moving into a more strategic business position. LuxairGroup is now implementing Cornerstone solutions throughout its talent management cycle.,Too complex on the administration side, it should be more user-friendly for administrators. It's more focused on end users.
An improvment of the GPS teams and their support on "cases" would be very usefull as this is time consuming.,8,The system and the way its build has created opportunities and bainstorming to find solution how to better use it. It has created opportunity

Cornerstone onDemand tracks, delivers and analyzes development opportunities.,Cornerstone OnDemand is a comprehensive learning management system.
Customer service is particularly good.
The LMS home page is easily customized to reflect the culture of the organization.,Transition from a previous product can be challenging so Cornerstone OnDemand provides an excellent transition team.
The product provides many unique and useful features that are available for a cost. Having access to those features in the beginning would be helpful to determine whether the feature would be useful for a new client.,9,As with most LMS products Cornerstone seems to be successful in providing a platform for online, asynchronous as well synchronous presentations which is positive.,Docebo LMS and Blackboard,Prezi,300,3,Dissemination of learning content.

We are actively using only the Performance module, only now completing our first full cycle in the system. Prior to CSOD our performance process was paper-based. During implementation, you trust your system is being set up in accordance to how you need the tool to work best for the organization. Our implementation period was really short, in some part driven by our own deadlines, but too short to feel comfortable with such a robust system. Disappointingly, implementation also seemed narrow focused on the first step of a cycle, not in the full picture to set up for interim and final stages of the full performance cycle. Customer service managers are helpful but often prefer to direct you to the general hotline (GPS) support for questions/concerns on the tool. CSOD has many avenues to seek answers, which is great once you feel confident in the tool. Initially, not knowing what you don't know, you can feel as though you purchased a product that doesn't quite work yet. The tool is very robust and complicated to set up. From the user side, it's mostly easy to use, though their system designers could apply more user interface principles.,Some customer service managers were former customers, providing a resource that understands the admin struggle.
A suite of modules to chose from to support organizational needs.
Answers found in many locations, though need to invest some time in getting it. GPS hotline, e-community, weekly open forums, written texts.,You pretty much need one resource dedicated to the tool to get the most effective use of the tool.
Some fonts are so small, users miss the click. User interface can be improved.
Administration of the tool can be daunting as you mostly learn by trial and error.,6,We're just completing our first cycle. Half the organization is not embracing but cultural change factors into this.
After 3yrs of use we did not renew and turned to a more simple design in system.,,ADP Workforce Now, UltiPro,250,0,Goal Setting
Performance Reviews,We no longer use CSOD,We have switched systems.,1,Creating the dashboard was relatively easy,Goal tasks can be created by end users in two areas. The two areas don't sync information unless all steps of the task is completed. When employee behaviors are to take the quickest / fastest steps to complete performance docs. The task often doesn't get completed correctly therefore goal information is in either one of two places vs one.,Yes, but I don't use it,4,Yes,Price
Product Features,Seek a more thorough demonstration of the administration of the system.,6,Kerry Feather was the second CRM assigned to our team and was fantastic. She took time to assist in understanding how information flows in the system. Since she came from an HR background, she understood the challenges and was able to explain. I came up against a tight deadline to release a task to the organization and she last minute hopped on a call with me to ensure the task was set up correctly and would launch w/o issue. It was high profile so her support last minute was huge.Donna Frazier, PHRA Trusted Advisor in Talent Development Thought Leadership (with good software to boot)2018-02-20T19:23:25.220ZCornerstone OnDemand is our sole Enterprise Learning Management System. It is the primary vehicle by which we administer, deliver, and report on our training initiatives serving our 2500+ employees and 6000+ dealer network accounts. We use it to curate and deliver content to our audiences in a wide variety of training delivery formats.,CSOD provides an intuitive user interface which aids in its adoption by our varied audiences.
CSOD provides phenomenal administrator support in the form of both functionality and advice in the area of learning technology and talent development.
CSOD provides class leading reporting capability with new features added on a quarterly basis.,The loading of historical data during implementation could've gone smoother. I would recommend other customers lean on the out of the box upload tools and not on CSOD's implementation consultants when migrating historical data.
While CSOD's certification module is powerful, the interface can be a bit cumbersome (click heavy) for end users.
While CSOD offers several avenues for customer support, learning how to escalate pressing issues in an effective manner requires a learning curve on the part of the customer. I would recommend eliciting the advice of other customers.,9,Cornerstone OnDemand's robust reporting features has allowed us to provide senior management with robust operational metrics around our talent development initiatives for the first times. Reports are straightforward to build and the resulting data is used to populate a broader HR scorebook.
CSOD has made it easier for our employees and partners to find critical training due to its modern search facilities.
CSOD has enabled us to automate the enrollment e of several mandatory training initiatives, effectively eliminating hours of tedious manual work by members of our talent development staff,SumTotal Maestro and Saba,Workday Human Capital Management,3200,5,Searching for and enrolling/launching pertinent training

Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
Analyst Reports,We wouldn't change much about our evaluation and selection process as I thought our decision framework was well thought out. If there is any factor that has proven to be not as critical it was the strategic partnership between Cornerstone and Workday (our HRIS provider). That partnership no longer exists now that these vendors serve as direct competitors.Mark McConnell, APTDCornerstone is a good, flexible learning solution2015-12-09T21:53:28.410ZWe are currently using Cornerstone OnDemand as the LMS for our whole organization. We recently implemented it and just went live on 11/30/15. It is our intention to have all learning related activities run through the LMS, to guarantee a positive end-user experience. We implemented Cornerstone to replace the SumTotal LMS we were previously using.,Cornerstone allowed us to create a custom Welcome Page, where we could bring in our branding, images and icons. This allowed us to have the same look and feel as other business applications.
The curriculum player functionality is very smooth. The % complete display helps users track their progress for a curriculum assignment - instead of just check marks for each module/course completed.
The in-tool reporting functionality provides us with current data, when it's needed. We previously had our learning data stored in a data warehouse, which refreshed nightly. We currently refresh in Cornerstone OnDemand every 6 hours, which allows us to report on items that happened earlier in the day.
Cornerstone OnDemand is highly configurable. As the system administrator, having the ability to drag and drop fields to change the dynamic of certain pages was so easy to use.
The feature converting email notifications to HTML automatically is perfect for someone who is not an HTML expert. You type it and they convert it. Very nice!,We would like the ability to change due dates right on the user's transcript for overdue training. We can change to a future date, but we can not add a date that is in the past. We need to go through the proxy enrollment steps, which takes longer.
It would be nice if Dynamic Proxys were editable. If we want to change a one-time training to a recurring training, a whole new proxy needs to be created.
We would like more options for the fields that are displayed in the org chart and user profile - currently we can select only between Division and Position.,8,We were able to implement with Cornerstone OnDemand in a very short timeline, which helped us achieve our overall business goal of becoming a stand-alone company.
At go-live we received a lot of positive feedback from our users on the end-user experience. The system was reported as very user-friendly and easy to navigate. Since our previous LMS was looked at as a pain point, so positive experience will bring people into the tool and encouraging on-time completions.
We have internal businesses looking to get their training in our Cornerstone OnDemand LMS, as they are happy with the experience they are having as a user. This will help us achieve our goal of having one system for all learning at our organization.,SumTotal and SuccessFactors,WebEx Meetings, Workday Human Capital Management,32000,5,Tracking compliance requirements

She seemed to have a better grasp of the needs of our business.Verified UserCornerstone Helps Create a Culture of Learning2016-11-03T15:39:22.007ZWe use Cornerstone OnDemand as our learning management system for three separate audiences: our internal employees, our distribution network, and as a public-facing customer LMS. We develop much of our training in-house and we use the system for tracking both online and face-to-face training.
Our high-level goals are 1) Increase employee engagement and retention through training 2) Standardize compliance training (safety, HR, etc.) across the organization and 3) Improve communication of key initiatives to our entire employee population.,The product is always evolving, and I think that Cornerstone generally does a good job of listening to their customers to develop their product roadmap.
The system is very customizable and can be adapted to cater to multiple audiences simultaneously.
The system has very good language capabilities for global organizations.
The course catalog is very robust and accounts for just about any type of training you can think of.
Their customer community (Cornerstone Success Center) is a great resource for collaboration and troubleshooting.,Their technical support is lacking. We often wait days for a response and end up having to figure things out through independent testing or collaboration with other users.
Back-end administration is not very user friendly. It takes time to learn the nuances and quirks of being a system administrator.
There is not a good way to report on or audit security roles.
Setting up and tracking Instructor Led Training is very cumbersome and needs an upgrade.
Certifications are terrible. Hard to understand, hard to setup, and hard to use as a learner.,6,Cornerstone has already helped us document thousands of completions for instructor-led training events. As we roll out new initiatives, we expect this number to grow exponentially.
