Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

Cornerstone is used as our LMS system by all departments in the organization. It is used to house all of the HSE training records, professional skills training, as well as certifications. It is currently being used to onboard new employees to the organization, distribute ethics training requirements, and house company policies.
  • Reporting is easy and intuitive- the new Reporting 2.0 allows you to drag and drop fields and instantly see the results.
  • It is very easy to create and manage learning assignments
  • You have the ability to create custom web pages so that you can bring in custom content and personalize your user experience.
  • Some tasks such as data entry or system settings can be manual and labor intensive. If you have 50 training sessions that need to be modified -- there isn't a mass way to make edits.
  • Loading in historical training data can be a pain. The Data Load Wizard isn't user friendly and requires a lot of trial and error.
  • The survey functionality needs to be improved. Admins should be able to generate surveys on the fly ( like SurveyMonkey.)
  • We have a variety of groups with different types of learning content. All of them can use the same LMS.
  • Reporting is made easy - so we spend less time manually manipulating spreadsheets and managing rosters.
Cornerstone is very good with administering compliance training and keeping accurate records. You have the ability to create certification programs, automatically make yearly assignments, and create dashboards to quickly view progress across the organization.

Cornerstone is less appropriate with organizations that want to promote a more "free" learning experience. The process of requesting a training and being directed to another screen to launch it isn't very user friendly. I would like to see the ability to browse through training with a you-tube like experience in mind. There are likely some overall settings that can make this a reality, but if you plan to house compliance training in the same LMS this could be difficult to manage.
