PiiQ is not only used as a performance management SAAS across the entire enterprise in 22 states, but it is also utilized for providing required compliance courses such as workplace ethics, diversity, construction zone safety, and harassment prevention.

Furthermore, PiiQ acts as a communication vehicle to address engagement issues and support future actions to improve overall performance within the organization. With its user-friendly interface, PiiQ enables employees to strive for peak performance while supporting their career growth and learning journey. However, some users have experienced challenges with the latest upgrade of the software, finding it less user-friendly than expected. They reported difficulties in navigating changes to the setup process and terminating user accounts. Additionally, some users have expressed the need for a more mobile-friendly and simple system for administrators.

Overall, PiiQ by Cornerstone has become an indispensable tool for organizations seeking to optimize their performance management processes and drive better talent conversations and career growth.

PiiQ Cornerstone review for SME
We did not use any software before.

PiiQ - our easy to use LMS
We did review other systems when we purchased PiiQ but I don't know what these were due to the member of staff no longer being with the company, however, I do not that we chose PiiQ as it was simple to use and that it also had the Performance option available in addition to the learning platform. we knew that this was something we wanted to have in the future which is why we purchased it.

PIIQ - Performance Management
Cornerstone was introduced into the company before I started and believe it was to ensure we are able to manage our team's performance.

Solid, Flexible Offering with Great User Experience.

PiiQ, good for out-of-the-box, not for customization
June 01, 2019
Long-time Customer
Everyone of my vendors tries to do cross-over. My HRIS (ADP-TS) does performance and LMS. My training vendor (I am on the board of BizLibrary), has a performance management SAAS as well as the ability to integrate with other HRIS systems. SuccessFactors does all three. My reasoning is that we have been with all the vendors mentioned for multiple years. The vendor who will ultimately take all of our business is the one who can integrate all three functions with single-sign on and cross-platform abilities. it doesn't exist with anyone in a robust form, yet.

PiiQ has made my life easier.
We were engaged with Cornerstone through True Value. We did not look at any other products prior.

PiiQ by Cornerstone training aligns with our core values and provides needed training for our employees
I have not used any other online training tools. This is the first an only training software we have used at my current company. At my last company, we created our own customizable training or outsourced high-level management training.
July 19, 2018
Great system. Don't be daunted by the setup - the value it adds to your business is worth it.
We have requested a demo of the LMS but haven't yet had a chance to look at this

My PiiQ by Cornerstone Review
ADP's performance management and one from another payroll system we were considering switching to, but ended up not going with.
June 27, 2018
Good for simple setups
Most review packages I've used in the past have been attached to the HRIS or created in house.
I have not used other products like PiiQ in the past.
We have used Performance Impact, Sonar6, CSB and now PiiQ.

Visible system for PA-PiiQ
Did not look at other options.
PiiQ was well designed to help us address salaried staff retention and engagement. ADP's product wasn't as robust as we needed for our corporate staff. However, we decided to try out ADP for our nonexempt, hourly employee performance reviews. Whether we stay with ADP or roll the hourly staff into PiiQ will be decided in the future.

PiiQ ease of use proves beneficial across all departments
PiiQ is very user-friendly.
January 30, 2018
Why you should consider PiiQ
We reviewed around 5 different products and I don't have all that info off hand. PiiQ stood out in many ways do to price, customer service and user friendly.

CSOD Fail
Lesson.ly has been great to work with but it is a very clear and simple, user-friendly system that anyone can pick up with very little training as it is self-explanatory. It also has a great mobile interface and lots of different features that are easy to add for the admin but really impactful for the user.
November 01, 2012
Simpler than SuccessFactors and has features we need.

Success Factors: we thought they were good too, but were very expensive and overkill for what we wanted. It was not overly complicated but just too expensive.
Taleo - We were in the midst of being acquired when we selected this tool. Our acquirer was at the time was on Taleo. We looked at that tool but it had a lot more functionality and complexity than we were looking for.
Fairsail, British company. We looked at it as had integration with Salesforce. It seemed like a really good company, but did not have a lot of American companies as clients.
