We have invested a lot of time in the development of Learning and Performance tasks, and we still have so much more to achieve using Cornerstone, so would not consider not renewing it

There just aren't other vendors out there providing all the features we are currently using. Since we use it for instructor led and online training there is not many vendors to compare it to.

As long as pricing stays reasonable, we will likely stay with Cornerstone for at least one more contract renewal. It would be a large task to migrate all of our content to a new system. However, the LMS landscape is diversifying with new startups that are showing some real innovation.

A Trusted Advisor in Talent Development Thought Leadership (with good software to boot)

We still believe that Cornerstone is a Best-in-Class software solution in the LMS space. The solution is robust and reliable and the vendor provides value through their online support community and through their thought leadership offerings. Our only reason for not rating this higher is that we utilize Workday as our HRIS solution so we are compelled to evaluate its Learning suite whenever contract renewals arise.

We have so much built into the system that it would be difficult to switch. Our end users generally have a positive experience, but there are some critical pain points on the administrative side that we wish would be addressed by CSOD.

It meets all of our business needs at the moment. It is the most robust tool for LMS out on the market right now. the automation assigning of training for over 120+ job titles has us rooted and flows our daily training per new hire perfectly

We have had a lot of issues with Cornerstone and are unhappy with their technical support. However, our employees and management enjoy the system and it has become embedded in our operations. At this point, changing to a new system would not create enough value to be worth the cost and time

One of the best thing is application stability. Even though more than 10K users access it, application is very stable. No issues such as slowness. UI is very impressive and user friendly. Would definitely recommend it for learning purpose. We can plan training's and integrate external training's too with it.

While we are still in our early stages of using the system, our experience compared to the last system has been very positive, and I think would lend us to renew our use of CornerStone in the future. We will be using surveys and depend on our employee population to largely determine the success of the system. So far all feedback has been positive from both users and administrators of the system.

After two years with the learning cloud we are now looking to convert to the performance cloud. Assuming the process goes as anticipated and is similar to the experience with learning, this could move higher.

It works, and has met our expectations. Moving to another LMS would be an inefficient use of time and resources. Firmwide adoption of the software has been terrific and introducing a new software isn't necessary.

It is one of the best options out there that meets the needs of our organization. The value provided in comparison to the cost makes sense and we have had great success in using this SaaS in the past 3.5 years.

CSOD is growing very fast. They need to focus first on execution while still driving innovation in the Talent Management space.

While overall Cornerstone has great functionality, it is their customer support and responsiveness to bugs/enhancement requests that would give me some pause in renewing. We are a large organization that uses the modules extensively, often during very tight cycle times. When something goes wrong, we need to know that we can trust Cornerstone to respond quickly. In the past they have struggled to respond quickly enough in our eyes.

Overall though, they have a great vision of the Talent Management space. If they can improve on their excution during this time of significant growth, then they will certainly be able to keep us a customer.
