Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

As a highly regulated company, we have a significant amount of compliance training that our employees must complete on an annual basis. We also need to have a robust reporting system to track completions and monitor compliance. We have used Cornerstone OnDemand to effectively organize all of our compliance training, including creating dynamic groups based on job roles, hire dates, and management roles. The level of organization the platform provides allows us to easily and effectively assign training to the right groups at the right time.

We also use the platform for onboarding newly hired employees or those who are transferring to a new role. Again, the way we are able to organize the training and the employee groups allows us to quickly and easily assign their onboarding training and have it ready for them on Day 1.

The reporting features give us many options to provide on-demand reporting to management teams to track their new employees' progress in their onboarding training or to monitor timely completion of their required compliance training.
  • Ability to provide multiple customizable access roles from general end user to full system admin and anything in between
  • Powerful reporting system to track a plethora of data points within the platform (user data, training information, transcript information)
  • Great options to customize the look and feel of your "home page" to best meet your company's needs and goals.
  • Ability to customize the transcript view for learners (i.e. when Completed training will move to their Archived transcript, what to do with Inactive training on transcripts)
  • Creating a new version of a course can be cumbersome when it is a part of multiple curricula and even inactive curricula. We are finding situations where learners are getting a new version of a course assigned on an old curriculum that was deactivated a couple of years ago, causing confusion on reporting.
  • Manually adding members to Communities is a little confusing, as there is no clear indication of what to do to ensure access to all folders & documents within the Community.
  • Certifications can be confusing at first, especially if not utilizing them consistently. We only did one or two and found them to be a little confusing both on the administrative side and the learning side.
  • Robust reporting allows managers to stay on top of training and lower the number of past due training assignments.
  • Customizable email notifications allow administrators to send targeted reminder emails for compliance training, ensuring on-time completions and lowering the number of access removals due to incomplete training.
We have been with Cornerstone OnDemand for about 7 years now. I do not recall the other products we evaluated at the time, but more recently there was some interest in using Workday as an LMS since that is our HR platform. Their learning platform, however, simply couldn't compete with what Cornerstone OnDemand can give us, especially with our critical need of robust reporting.

Would you buy Cornerstone OnDemand again?

Yes

I feel Cornerstone OnDemand is a great solution for companies that have a large amount of compliance training that needs to be assigned and closely tracked. The features of dynamic groups (based on specific user criteria) allows you to target very specific audiences. The assignment functionality gives you great flexibility on when the assignment runs and how often, and also provides many options for due dates (static date or dynamic date - x days from hire date, date assigned, etc.). This has allowed us to have a clear and consistent user experience for both our newly hired employees and our seasoned employees.
