Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand
Cornerstone OnDemand is used by several departments in my organization. My department looks after teammates training and development. We use the learning suite of Cornerstone OnDemand to deliver classroom training and online courses, report on completion, assess learning, and evaluate adoption and understanding.
Pros
- Office hours are a great resource for those issues where you need to discuss with an expert on the steps you are following.
- Online courses/Learn it live: great training resource for administrators, you can find all details and information on the features of the site.
- Communication and updates: all the information on product changes, updates, and new features are communicated in a timely manner.
Cons
- Reporting: a new reporting system has been announced, but its been on early adopter for a long time. Still missing features from the previous version that are necessary.
- Events and sessions: it's a process that takes forever, I know there is a new version available but it's not suitable for my org, so I am stuck with pages and pages of options, boxes to flag/un-flag, and no option to update all sessions in one go. The option "Start and End times for all Sessions to display to Users in their Time Zone" does not work properly. There are so many things to consider that sometimes you have no idea where to check to fix issues.
- Data load wizard: it's a great tool and idea, but it's so sensitive. If you do not do format or add all the information in the exact way the system wants, you can spend hours trying to find out why it's giving you an upload error.
- Online courses: the versioning feature creates a lot of issues and it's not easy to complete. The modification feature is mostly useless because the modified file has to be exactly the same as the original one, and it there is the smallest thing that makes the file change, you cannot modify. It's too restrictive.
- Online help: there is a ton of help in there, but it's very difficult to find it. The search only allows you to search for a word, not multiple words, and that makes finding what you need a challenge. Sometimes the same terms are used for multiple features, so you end up with irrelevant information.
