Cornerstone Ondemand - Nonprofit Ready
We currently use Cornerstone OnDemand - NonProfit Ready, as we are a non-profit organization. We use this for most of our training needs for the organization, including HIPAA, Diversity, Sexual Harassment, and other various training. We also use it for training for upcoming leaders. Nonprofit Ready helps provide appropriate training to our workforce.
- Engaging videos! Their training is interesting to watch. It is short, sweet, and straight to the point.
- I like the short quizzes afterward to test knowledge. Find it effective in determining if someone got the essentials out of the course.
- Love our Cornerstone OnDemand reps - whenever we need help, they are amazing!
- I wish I could upload users to the portal, especially when we have large training classes. Our rep can do this for us, I would like to do so if possible. (this may be an option, I am just not aware)
- I wish our HRIS system could feed over to Nonprofit Ready. This would help avoid manual inputs and changes.

Demand more from Cornerstone OnDemand
We use the CSOD (Cornerstone on Demand) LMS (Learning Management System) for all our Learners in the USA & the UK. We use CSOD to let people register for instructor-led training; launch eLearning; track Learner's course completions; automatically display Learners certificate of completions on their LinkedIn profiles, and integrate their completion information with Micron (a system that tracks people's compliance with their certification/designation requirements).
- It works well on laptops.
- People can generally find the classes they need using the search bar.
- The administrative function is clunky and not the most user-friendly. Entering a course description seems to require knowledge of HTML and takes a long time.
- It's not the most user-friendly interface. (To be fair, we're using the old module and are in the process of switching to the new Learner Center home-page).
- When people receive class information, they receive an Outlook invitation. When class details change, it would be really helpful to have a way to automatically update the Learner's Outlook invitation with the new information.
- It would be nice if CSOD were more proactive about providing guidance on how to use their tool.
- IT would be incredibly valuable for CSOD to conduct formal usability studies on CSOD. It's not intuitive to Learners.
- For some reason, the mobile version of CSOD doesn't let us display all our classes. It would be great to have a fully functioning mobile version.
- It would be helpful if we could have multiple people get notified when a Learner registers for training because we have dual reporting (e.g. the Learner's manager AND his/her Engagement Manager). Both people need to know the Learner's schedule.

I don’t like cornerstone LMS and it’s in my ecosystem regardless of what I think
It is not being used well because we are having trouble setting it up. It’s overcomplicated and is not what we expected from a setup perspective. Cornerstone's onboarding was not very good and we were handed off after 8 weeks with only knowing how to do a few things. Not all features were covered.
- Looks good
- Looks good
- It really only looks good
- Better user experience for requesting courses
- More intuitive
- Simplify set up of the application
- Simplify uploading courses

Cornerstone an LMS that has your corner and your back.
So Cornerstone is being used twofold. The first is as an LMS to store all of our learning content. The 2nd is that it is used to build out our learning platform. Our learning platform is built out based on titles so our learning paths allow anyone from entry level employees to managers to get training. As the user continues to do his or her training the system automatically gives them courses based on seniority or if they get promoted. This is one of the best features of the system and it's why we love it so much.
- Easy to build courses without needing an LMS admin
- Easy to transfer courses from a different LMS to this system
- The system is very user friendly and it's easy to learn and navigate with minimal training.
- I wish that most systems adapted a drag and pull system when adding courses when creating learning paths, this is one of those systems that doesn't do that.

Cornerstone OnDemand Review
Cornerstone On Demand is currently being used at the organization for the learning and performance modules. We are able to provide the end users with tests and SOP review completions in a faster more efficient way. We also complete our performance reviews, which gives a step by step oprion for the review from the end user, through management, to HR.
- Standard reports are good and being able to customize reports is helpful since departments look for different criteria.
- Learning Library is useful and contains up to date training information and options.
- Ease of use setting up new employees.
- The re-versioning of SOP's can be challenging.
- Not being able to delete, only to deactivate, individually, would be of benefit to do mass deletes or de-activations.
- I would like to also be able to delete from transcripts.
We use the LMS component of Cornerstone to service a population of medical practitioners and counselors that use the training housed on our site for CEUs and certifications. My company creates the training materials that are then uploaded onto our LMS. My primary function is making sure that our users can access and manage their accounts for training completion and reporting.
- Cornerstone is always creating new avenues for users when they realize there's a gap in our needs versus what the site provides.
- OnDemand has so many educational tools on hand for us to research topics on LMS functionality and mindfulness!
- Cornerstone is constantly looking to develop its platform for its user's needs.
- When patches go through, sometimes there can be glitches that are unexpected. It would be great if we could get notice beforehand regarding these snafus.

A seasoned consultant who helped Cornerstone prepare for IPO
For the majority of my clients, it is used for compliance and onboarding learning. I always put into the suggested 3-5 year plan for suggested expanded use to include more of the performance and onboarding tools directly instead of indirectly, as well as, to add to their foci, the value of a learning culture that goes beyond what is required by local, state, national, and industry audited compliance needs.
- Always improving, one of the very few 100% Agile shops. Their engagement of user requests and experiences as well as their openness to change up the road map with less rigidity provides for a platform that is more malleable to the current and future needs.
- Their integration to all things Learning and Talent that an organization of any size needs.
- The 360 feedback that was originally just part of performance, but after I encouraged a modified functionality cross for my client NYC ACS for a 6-month training program they were developing, between Performance and Learning without having to engage in the full Performance module license or process, has more recently been added solution-wide for others.
- We still need further work on integration with HR systems, which the newer HR Suite has begun to address.
- Need to not move from their Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Solution partner to AWS. Instead, they need to move to the Microsoft AZURE services that have integration points with AWS and other systems, while maintaining stronger technology infrastructure.
- Improve on their offerings for SMBs, their newer SMB package is a start, needs a lot of work.

Great System, Time Saving Features.
Our organization has over 900 employees throughout 40 locations and we track over 75 different program requirements. Setting up curriculums that are easy to manage and update has been a great help. A "set it and forget it" approach to managing training and requirements, and creating systems that are able to be changed and updated is a great help. The integration of ADP—Cornerstone has been a lifesaver no need to create/deactivate accounts. The support side could improve a bit, but otherwise, they offer a large library of online resources which is great and the office hours are a great help.
- Online office hours
- Implementation team
- Ability to manage from anywhere
- Customer service (can be on hold for hours)
- Online resources are tooooooooooo daunting.
- Not able to customize the look of the system, icons, etc.

Bluewater Swims with Cornerstone
We use Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD) to support our primary talent operations at Bluewater. This includes our ability to recruit, develop and promote individuals within Bluewater.
This biggest problem this solves is the automation of inefficient processes to create a great user experience for our team.

Good Product, Watch the Pricing
We utilize it for performance, succession planning, development plans, recruiting, and learning management. 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!

HR Manager Review of Cornerstone OnDemand
Our organization has been using Cornerstone OnDemand (performance management) for about 4 years. It was introduced and implemented across the entire organization. A few years ago, our organization was still using Excel sheets to manage performance goals and track each individual's review status, which created a high degree of inconsistency and human errors in the process. We then decided to introduce an automated system to the PM process to have a more consistent and fair review process. The setup and implementation of the system was super easy. They guided us through the entire process and provided tons of training materials which was super helpful for our managers and employees.
- Great customer service. Staff at Cornerstone are very responsive. They are knowledgeable about the products and they are always able to provide a solution. They really listen to our feedback and comments and I know they are constantly working on things in order to make the system better and more efficient.
- Easy to implement. They made it an easy and hassle-free process for me. They really took the time explaining to me how the system worked and what information was needed. I know they are always there to help if I don't understand something.
- I don't think the system allows multiple managers to do the review. It happened to our organizations several times that when two managers are asked to complete a review for the same employee because the person was transferred from one department to another within review year.

Cornerstone from the perspective of an HRIS analyst
We assign training, do performance reviews, and track employee engagement with Cornerstone.
- Drag and drop filters for Custom Reporting 2.0 is nice.
- Training assignments.
- Dashboards need improvement
- More field custom customization with SQL operations and the ability to modify column headings that would be nice.
- A nice addition would be exception reporting for performance.
We use Cornerstone OnDemand LMS for our entire organization. Some are using the Performance Tool; however, they are not very happy with it. The LMS is a good tool and has many capabilities and with recent enhancements is good at managing compliance on a global level.
- The LMS is user friendly. It allows for easy content replacement with reversioning.
- The user interface is friendly and appealing. Like Netflix, you can browse with ease.
- Communicating upcoming enhancements.
- Too many easy fixes require a call to their technical team.
- Not enough admin access to truly make the system our own.
- Their Help Desk leaves something to be desired. The response times are terrible.
It's used as one part of the learning platform that we've created.
- Easy to upload learning content
- Helps us to manage completions
- Great for keeping historical data
- Some completions are not tracked
- Lots of steps involved in uploading content
- Long delay between completion and marking the completion on user history

Cornerstone - Great LMS with tons of flexibility
Cornerstone 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.)

Great product and easy to use
We use CSOD to track our organization's compliance and regulatory training requirements utilizing learning objects, certifications, surveys, observation checklists, emails, and all reporting functionality. CSOD is our system of record for training requirements and has allowed for a seamless user experience with consistent reporting and metrics across the organization.
- Tracking of recurring training automatically via the use of certifications.
- Powerful reporting engine with real-time data.
- New, modern Learner Home UI.
- No dynamic training extensions based on on-leave or deployed user dates.
- Certification UI is not very intuitive to the end-user.
- Customer service response times has been a pain point, although much improvement has been made in this area recently.

Cornerstone OnDemand works for me!
We use Cornerstone OnDemand for internal and external users. It makes it easy to upload content and manage our self-made content.
- Creating playlists
- Managing email templates
- Creating certificates and custom pages
- Reporting 2.0 could be improved.
- Generating deep links should be easier along with the learning object.
- There are many layers to some of the functionality.
Cornerstone OnDemand is being used by our entire organization for training and performance purposes. It does a wonderful job in providing engaging training material and a thorough performance process.
- Engaging content
- Central performance reviews
- Diverse content
- Too much content at times
- Information is dispersed
- Cumbersome saving of review information
We are looking for software which can help automatically handle my learning process and HR etc .
- Searches
- Database
- Interfaces
- Reports
- Statistics
- The speed could be improved.
We use Cornerstone OnDemand to provide training for researchers at the university. I have completed some training via Cornerstone, including Core Fundamentals, ILT, and creating VLT. The research department deals with animal/human research and people are using Cornerstone to conduct training in PEP style/system. We also use it to create appointments for staff to see the OH nurse.
- I liked the reports.
- I like the groups.
- I like the transcripts.
- Improvement in data load wizard, especially in reference to session loading. While the wizard works properly, when I am loading a session I continue to get an error message. I've submitted a help desk case, but am still having problems with it.
