Previous to implementing Cornerstone we had a very archaic database to enter training records, rosters sat in a drawer, and we relied exclusively upon Instructor-led training as a delivery mode. We have vastly expanded our bandwidth as a department and as an organization - we are able to offer multiple training modes to include video, online courses, and job aids that can all be delivered through one streamlined solution. It has offered a way to organize multiple training programs simultaneously as well as report at multiple levels of the organization and deliver customized learning solutions to targeted audiences. Additionally, the customized reporting is so easy and helpful. The report features alone have vastly improved our productivity and communication through every level.
  • Flexible and robust dynamic assignment of learning. Cornerstone allows you to assign any learning object, path, or certification with a multitude of flexibility. It can be as manual or automatic as you prefer as you are able to create assignments based on hire date, location, manager, job title, status, or any combination of those Org Units along with several others.
  • Robust flexibility of features or functions you want your end users to see or be able to access.These permissions may also be as simple or as complex as you would like. Allows for multiple levels of admins on the system simultaneously.
  • Customized reporting with ability to share customized reports out. Custom reports may be set up to email within specific frequency to specific individuals or departments. Data is refreshed every 15 minutes. This allows for data transparency and ease.
Cons
  • A dedicated admin is a must. Anyone can be taught the basic administrative features and functions, but it truly takes a dedicated admin to have eyes on the inherent complexity of running such a robust system that continues to receive improvements and updates. Cornerstone is a dynamic solution that needs to be maintained in order to maximize the benefits to the organization.
  • There are some nuances that are not always the most streamlined. For example, investigating where challenges exist and identifying how they occurred in the first place, can require looking in several different areas within the system. This is something Cornerstone has been actively improving over the last year especially.
  • The mobile application still had quite a long way to come before it is robust enough to be relied upon.
Cornerstone OnDemand is the ideal learning platform for organizations with multiple modes of learning, with a need for a high level of flexibility in the ability to assign, report on, and deliver training.

Courses and training are available 24-7 to all employees. We also use it to assign mandatory training, onboarding, and our virtual in-house training.
  • Support for Admins
  • Ease of customization of your own portal
  • Adapting to ever-changing platforms
Cons
  • Some improvement is required for how Express class is entered.
Well suited for assigning mandatory training to new hires automatically.

Cornerstone has really allowed us to begin the process of standardizing training scheduling, tracking, and completion reporting across a large and globally diverse organization. Since Cornerstone offers Content subscriptions and easy to use interface, we've seen a large leap in user-driven learning and development.
  • Great User/client community
  • Comprehensive and Evolving Client training program and certifications
  • Regular enhancements based on client input and feedback
Cons
  • Test/Assessment interface for users and admins
  • More flexibility in triggers related to emails
  • Reduce the cost on client training and certifications
Cornerstone is great for compliance and regulated training programs and industries. Cornerstone, or likely any LMS, will be more challenging for industries where computer access and literacy is not core to the jobs of every employee or where training is largely decentralized.

We use Cornerstone (CSOD) across our corporate network of learners. We're currently using the Learning module to render all of our online content for various trainings. We have multiple divisions that also access CSOD. So far, the user experience has been great for users as well as admins. We're able to deploy curated and standard training across the Cornerstone on Demand platform without any issues.

As new features are added, we look forward to utilizing more of what Cornerstone has to offer.
  • User Friendly
  • Easy integration
  • Intuitive
Cons
  • HTML feature is bit buggy
Customer Service is pretty good depending on the situation.

Cornerstone 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Cornerstone OnDemand seems to be well suited for any size organization and most industries.
