Cornerstone - You get what you pay for.
Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand
We primarily utilize Cornerstone for Learning and Tracking of Learning. All of our state government uses it as the primary LMS. It's always used for compliance tracking but also more recently we've been expanding it to include elective learning with a full library of courses.
Pros
- A lot of companies use Cornerstone so there is a wide scope of users to refer to and learn from.
- It tracks training and learning well.
- Newer features are more user friendly.
- Large base of resources and training to learn functionality.
Cons
- Not always the most intuitive to use (recent updates have made some improvements to that).
- Most updates are for end user so the admin side is a bit more clunky.
- Previously service time has been slow (haven't had any recent issues).
- This doesn't have an interactive or live meeting platform within it you need to purchase one to integrate.
- There isn't a location to put vILT (virtual instructor led training) info such as a meeting link that you could copy and paste in. You have to have some integration and each cost money per year.
- limited budgets for Cornerstone are not the best. They have so much functionality but each piece is an additional amount of money. We only have one.
- The certifications do not function as they're supposed to. I was told by a rep not to use them.
- Curriculum Reversioning has had improvements but still gets messy VERY quickly. I also don't like the extra step to access training if it's in a curriculum. There should be an expand right on the transcript page so it's all visible in one place.
- Lacks built in Accessibility Features like an easy to use accommodation request for courses, captioning for videos (unless via YouTube and captioned on YouTube), Color settings for end users with low vision or color blindness.
- Resources attached to trainings aren't obvious thus I have to also add them as materials and link to them.
- Editing Transcripts or attendance is a pain, so if someone accidentally submits something it's a process to get it fixed.
- Everything costs money. Want to update your home page? It's a ticket and $, want to let people launch a meeting, you need an integration that has an annual cost, it makes budget conscious organizations suffer.
- Meeting our need for Maintaining Compliance.
- Increased Engagement - Work in Progress, it's a new initiative.
- Professional Development, Clear Career Paths, and goals - Another thing we are working on rather slowly. We are a slow-moving entity.
