Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cornerstone OnDemand was implemented last year as our organization-wide LMS with the goal of making it our home for all learning, including integrating with LinkedIn Learning for additional learning content. The business need was to have a single source for L&D related content and to encourage ease of access and use for an employee base across the country as well as globally.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Searchability: the content can be searched for in multiple, intuitive areas of the interface.
SSO and integration: With single sign-on options and integrations with other systems, Cornerstone fit well into the tech stack.
Resources for learning the system: As it is so broadly used, the knowledge base and community around it make it fairly easy to find answers when we hit a snag.

Cons

UI: Many areas of the UI didn't receive any sort of refresh and therefore still look dated (like transcripts and reporting).
Reporting: While there are tons of reports available, they take a lot of knowledge and user input to get the data you need.
No Outlook support for ILT: Since the system is not connected to Outlook Calendars for room booking, the two "calendars" don't talk to each other.

Return on Investment

True ROI has not been measured at this time.

Alternatives Considered

Compared to other LMS's, CSOD had a much fuller system offering and many more integrations, making it the best choice for our needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best for large organizations where an all-in-one learning solution is needed and there is a dedicated person or staff to manage the system and content. There is a pretty big learning curve to get the system working at its fullest potential.
