Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand
Cornerstone OnDemand is a very powerful and complex Learning Management System. It has become the foundation of our Employee Development Department. We have integrated the Cornerstone LMS into our company culture. Once we implemented the LMS, we quickly had entire departments wanting to utilize Cornerstone as the method to deliver and track employee training and development.
Previously, our company had not standardized a system to deliver and track training. Now with Cornerstone, we are able to automate the delivery of training based on a number of factors. We can push training to new employees when employees switch job titles or departments or assign training as needed. Using this system we have been able to deliver training more efficiently and it has allowed us to align training across our business and gives our management real-time ability to track employee training.
We have been able to roll-out company-wide training on updates to critical business processes is less than a week. Before Cornerstone, it would have taken us over a month to deliver this training and used valuable time and resources. Each company-wide training delivered through Cornerstone has a cost savings of approximately $35,000.
The complexity of this LMS does require considerable time to configure and learn, it has the power to solve virtually any training need. It is well worth the investment.

Pros
- Cornerstone is designed to easily upload and deliver eLearning courses that are designed and constructed with content authoring software.
- The complexity of the system allows administrators to construct training delivery solutions to meet almost any need.
- Cornerstone offers a wide-variety of resources for administrators to troubleshoot, get expert advice, and access to professional learning communities.
Cons
- Their Global Product Support can be very slow and unresponsive, however, they have taken measures to improve their customer services and we have seen some improvements.
- The complexity of the security permissions can be overwhelming, better out of the box roles would be more helpful.
- The training content available for Cornerstone administrators is not very up-to-date. Sometimes the videos or screenshots are a few years old.
- Cornerstone can bring tremendous cost savings if companies can convert instructor-led classes to eLearning, online courses.
- The LMS has allowed us to deliver training more efficiently to the appropriate audience.
- It has given our managers access to a variety of employee training records that allow them to understand business needs and opportunities for employee development.
- The ability to run reports, and automate training delivery has made compliance training much easier.
Our company reviewed other products, but I was not a part of that review.
