The company's solutions help businesses recruit, train, manage and engage their employees.https://dudodiprj2sv7.cloudfront.net/product-logos/cg/GX/XVJCDR2KAI0J.PNGCornerstone OnDemandIntuitive and easy to learn2016-05-25T15:57:42.061ZWe use Cornerstone across the organization for training purposes. We house all of our course data and completion certificates within the software. This addresses our need to house a large library of courses, events, and instructor lead trainings. It provides easy, user friendly navigation to all employees.,User friendly
Straightforward interface
Easy to learn as an admin,Support. We have one or two go to Cornerstone employees who really know their stuff. We often feel disturbed by the phone support making us feel as if we're being rushed off the phone. Often times we're given vague answers with our own problems given back to us as a solution.
Features. There are a lot of painfully obvious features that should be available in a database system. The option to mass update files or records will either take you weeks of manpower or them a few days of "paid maintenance". Some features that should be easily doable aren't even there, such as mass updating a field or removing training.,7,Cornerstone has given us the ability to create diverse reports to flex to all branches of our business.

Product Usability,I'd like to see more hands-on use of features. We got boxed into some workarounds from features that were overhyped in the sales process. This is the nature of the beast. If you're implementing make sure you're shown how processes will work and or be affected by future updates. Don't fall for a sales pitch by someone who isn't a subject matter expert on the systems.,Don't know,N/a

Self-taught,9,10,No. You'll definitely need a crash course or understanding of the terms and way things work. it's very intuitive once you have the foundation though. kind of like if you're taught the rules of baseball you can easily play it once you know. or sometimes like Chess where once you learn you have to be reminded what particular pieces do but still can get it done.,No,9,Yes,We needed our course catalog cleaned up. Manually it would have been a huge burden and taken a very long time. I reached out to them and provided them with a list of things we wanted deleted and cleaned up and they did it, after seeking clarity and absolution, within one business day.,10,9,3Joseph MadereGreat product2015-12-14T17:18:15.097ZCornerstone onDemand is the Learning Management System for my organization. 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.

Analyst Reports,I would not change the evaluation process.Christopher Fox, Ph.D.Let the buyer beware!2016-05-13T21:14:04.981ZWe have implemented Learning, Performance, and Compensation in all of our Domestic locations. We have not yet implemented internationally due to language pack issues. The LMS contains all of our "soft skills" training along with compliance related training and certifications. We use the system to track due dates for almost all of our recurrent training.
In the Performance module, we currently use goals and performance reviews. Both of these processes were done on paper before we switched to Cornerstone.,From a user perspective, it is mostly user friendly.
Our current Client Success Manager (which is our second) is very helpful and knowledgeable.
They provide lots of training opportunities through their Client Support website.,Their Certification Module is underdeveloped and hard to use. The user interface is different from the rest of the LMS and it is hard to report out of without external modifications.
Technical support is very inconsistent. We had some special requirements which required technical support and they literally took months to complete and were very expensive. Most of their support is overseas.
They use third party vendors for most of their implementation and support. This causes a lot of issues because they are often not knowledgeable of the product. They also seem to be overbooked and also pressure you to end implementation as soon as possible even if you are not ready to go live. We were told they are incentivized by Cornerstone to get customers through the implementation process as quickly as possible.
The overall reporting functionality is lacking. We actually had to purchase access to the data warehouse so we could create our own custom reports and dashboards outside of Cornerstone.
Their Support Center is difficult to work with. Response time is slow, especially compared to other vendors we use. They also have given us incorrect or incomplete information at times.,1,The system has helped to streamline our training considerably as we were using a very archaic system before.
We have had a lot more requests from the business to create new training because it is so easy.
While the initial cost of Cornerstone was a lot lower than more feature heavy competitors like Success Factors, the amount of money and time we have had to spend to implement far exceeded what we would have paid if we would have paid more up front for a better vendor.,IBM Kenexa BrassRing,Kenexa, Tableau Desktop,2000,10,Conducting compliance related trainings

Talent management and talent development is critical, so we redesigned the entire process following best practices and conducted an RFP process to select the best tech solution to support that. CSOD was selected and implemented, achieving significant improvements and efficiencies for these critical talent processes.,The system interface is intuitive and flexible; so users can be proficient in the system without any training and the system can adapt to the necessary requirements very well.
This is a "true" cloud solution, dependable and easy to manage by the system administrators that don't need to be technical personnel from IT/IS. CSOD has grown over the years as an organic system that is fully integrated and consistent across the different modules.
Customer support and on-going account management is excellent, they help you by keeping your processes up to date and following best practices.
Finally, the CSOD team is very visionary and is always bringing useful and practical innovations to their systems and services.,CSOD should continue growing on areas related to Talent Management (entire cycle from acquisition to development), since there are significant synergies to that can be realized by their customers.,10,Being able to align the company goals and priorities is the main achievement we realized, it is hard to give it a number, but our leadership team (from the CEO and below) really appreciates the ability to do that.
By moving to electronic performance and succession processes, from paper and Excel, we saved hundreds of hours for our employees, managers and HR personnel. The main achievement though, is to focus on performance and not "checking" a box for those processes.
Finally, the company productivity really goes up as you can align and focus your efforts across the company, with clear goals and priorities.,,SAP Core HR and Payroll, QlikView,,2,Simple and capable; simplicity to use the system was key and at the same time a rich system in terms of available capabilities.
Mobility was important, since many of our employees and executives are on the move and have limited time to spend on their computers.
Easy to implement and maintain, since the our business needs and best practices continue to change, it was critical to stay ahead of that.Maynor VenegasA 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 ManagementMark McConnell, APTD
