Cornerstone LMS

One of the best learning tools for companies!

Comments: Overall I am very happy with the tool chosen and would recommend it to others. I think the continuous improvements make it a platform with a lot of potential that we will be with for a long time to come.

Pros:

continuous innovations and adaptations to the needs of companies and employees. As a training platform it is very solid and complete.

Cons:

Some changes cannot be made, but adapting can be achieved.

Alternatives Considered: SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reasons for Choosing Cornerstone LMS: little flexibility and little exploitation of the information contained therein

Switched From: Talentia HCM

Reasons for Switching to Cornerstone LMS: because we wanted to have several modules integrated in one place. Both training, selection and development we have everything with Cornerstone and we believe it is the best solution to have it unified for reporting and integrations. We also believe that it is a world-renowned and highly valued provider and that gave us security.

A good product that needs some attention to make it great

Comments: Support can be a bit hit and miss. Turnover of account managers has been high the past few years, so we feel like we have been having a lot of repeat conversations.

Pros:

The functionality is comprehensive, with a lot of features you can customize including custom pages which are great for improving the user experience.

Cons:

It is a very slow system - each time you update a field, the whole page refreshes. There are still a lot of functionalities that one would think would be a given with an LMS that despite feedback, they choose to focus on their bigger scale feature releases.

Alternatives Considered: Moodle, ELMO Software and Docebo

Reasons for Switching to Cornerstone LMS: Highly customizable, better suited to a larger organisation

Cornerstone is an alright product, but it's expensive

Comments: Cornerstone has been an alright experience, but it doesn't meet the needs of our users always and is sometimes difficult for them to navigate.

Pros:

Cornerstone can be customized, which is really nice.

Cons:

Cornerstone is very expensive compared to similar platforms. It also isn't that much better.

Simple site for online learnings and reviews

Comments: So far it has been quite simple to upload courses, tests and curricula

Pros:

I like that it can assign online learning automatically

Cons:

We have not been able to set up the proper rules to get as specific as we need to always have the system automatically assign

Great Product Overall

Comments: Prior to Cornerstone, we didn't have a single place where people could interact and see all of their training. We have leveraged certifications so that expiration dates are easy to find as well as utilizing playlists to help people get topical resources easily.

Pros:

The UI is great for an end user and allows for the flexibility needed in terms of Welcome and Custom Pages to get the information across. The Learner Home makes it easy for end users to find content they are interested in in a format they are used to. As an Admin it provides lots of features to automate the experience and leverage the data in the system.

Cons:

Support can sometimes be less than helpful. There are also times when the road map changes are not publicized enough so you may be hoping for a project on the roadmap that then doesn't appear.
