Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

Cornerstone is used by our whole organization. At the moment we use it as a basic internal communication tool for employees and mainly as an LMS. It helps distribute online training, send reminder emails, and track and report on training for compliance. I helps with automated training emails and report generation.
  • Customization. There are plenty of options and ways to do what you might want to serve your training needs.
  • Reporting. The new Reporting 2.0 feature is good and getting better. It makes it easy to create a report you want and share it with others, including dashboards.
  • Learning Assignment Tool. This tool is a wizard that makes assigning easy and provides a lot of options (one-time vs recurring, individual or group assignment, dynamic assignment to new hires, etc). Fantastic feature.
  • The back button on the browser sometimes works, sometimes doesn't and breadcrumbs are not always available to go back to where you need to go.
  • Some of the older page designs use very small text and are not intuitive. However, these are slowly being revamped and the new pages are wonderful.
  • I have experienced poor customer service - delays in responding, stressed employees - so I have learned to rely on the client forums instead. However, I hear this is beginning to change.
  • Compliance. For compliance, due to the reporting and dashboards platform, this has been easy to do.
  • Engagement. The ability to add different types of training and content and put it in different formats (curricula, playlists, etc) helps reach learners with different needs.
  • Automation. Yes, the automated emails and automated assignments are a huge timesaver.
It is very configurable. It is a robust system with tons of choices in most of the areas you are administrating. For me, personally, it is too complex for our needs. It can be difficult for new administrators coming onboard to learn the ins and outs of the system. Their tutorial videos and curricula are outstanding and helpful, but it still takes awhile to learn it all. However, as mentioned before, for large organizations that need that, it's a great system.
It is better suited for larger organizations that need complex customization and world language translation, especially since larger organizations will have the manpower to keep up with the administration of such a robust system. For those who want simple uploading and tracking or for those who don't have dedicated LMS admins to keep it organized, a platform with a simpler layout and set of options might be a better choice.
