Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

We use Cornerstone [OnDemand] for learning and performance, we have used it the past 2 years to do our annual PDR's and objective settings. One thing that we have struggled with is using Cornerstone [OnDemand] to do our training needs analysis.
  • Performance Reviews
  • Objective setting
  • Online Learning
  • Events and Sessions
  • Training Recurrence
  • Training Needs Analysis
  • Increasing engagement
  • Higher percentage of PDR's completed
  • Simpler PDR process
  • Simpler TNA process
Cornerstone [OnDemand] is similar in some ways, however I've found that most of Cornerstone [OnDemand] requires self learning to configure the system, you don't get a lot of support from your Cornerstone [OnDemand] CSM, this is very time consuming. There is an option to outsource configuration to a Cornerstone [OnDemand] partner but this costs between £500 & £750 per day, so can be quite costly, on top of the annual Cornerstone [OnDemand] cost.
I think there are too many configuration options, an LMS specialist is needed to be able to configure effectively, as you get very limited support from Cornerstone [OnDemand], its all self led training resources, unless an expert it is time consuming to configure and too complex. It requires a resource to be managing the system fulltime for it to be successful

Do you think Cornerstone OnDemand delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Cornerstone OnDemand's feature set?

Yes

Did Cornerstone OnDemand live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cornerstone OnDemand go as expected?

No

Would you buy Cornerstone OnDemand again?

No

Cornerstone [OnDemand] is really good for the Performance side, there are lots of additional functionality that can be enabled such as skills, competencies etc. I think the Learning side still needs some work, as we haven't successfully worked out a way to do our training needs analysis easily, also the Edge Import process is long winded and over complicated, when wanting to upload historic training records.
