Mehr Updates wären interessant und eventuell der Ausbau der/einer Mobilanwendung

The Mercedes among LMS systems

Kommentare: We were able to deliver a huge online-learning-catalogue from scratch with a modern interface and a mobile option.
Now we are able to bring together the different learning-activities from the different departments

Vorteile:

For the user: Modern and intuitve For admins: Lot´s of configuration items and options The huge community (in their own Cornerstone-Instance!) and the very good product-documentation, including training-materials, etc.

Nachteile:

Oldschool-Interface in the backend Sometimes too complex

One of the best learning tools for companies!

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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

Cornerstone is an alright product, but it's expensive

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

Cornerstone can be customized, which is really nice.

Nachteile:

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

You get what you pay for

Kommentare: It's been slowly improving. I would say that our experience is limited as so many functions are outside of the Learning Module. We purchased a smaller version and I think it shows as we are continuously struggling to make it suit our needs the way we want.

Vorteile:

I think that the recent changes have made the system more user friendly, but it is still not the most clear system. It manages transcripts fairly well.

Nachteile:

I assume (as I was hired after implementation) that you need to request it, but our permissions are more limited than I would like. We can't run reports like utilization metrics, or who is in what security role which really limits our abilities. We also don't have backend design privileges and as a web developer that is infuriating. I would say usability is less than desirable as there are HTML issues, and Transcript functionality confuses people. There isn't a natural or logical way to set up accommodation requests even when using custom forms, which in my opinion is a very bad issue. We of course have text in the email, but it's insufficient and has caused issues.

Robust learning management system

Kommentare: We have been pleased with the ability to consolidate our learning offerings/tracking and the ability to automate our assignments and emails. This has streamlined our efforts and saved staff time doing manual processes.

Vorteile:

I like that we can have all of our required trainings in one system and can automatically assign them to our learners along with sending automated emails. It is great to be able to run reports out of one system to track learning. I am also excited to see where we will be using the tool in the area of Skills.

Nachteile:

The evaluation tool is not that easy to use and the reporting is basic level. It needs to be an area of focus.

Industry Leader in LMS Software - Top Shelf Product with Excellent Customer Service

Kommentare: My overall experience with Cornerstone OnDemand has been excellent. I appreciate the training team, support team, client success, and the product team who go above and beyond to respond quickly to client needs. I have undergone several certifications through Cornerstone - the process of training for certifications and working with certification specialists has been an incredible opportunity to upskill my proficiency with the product and apply that knowledge toward optimizing the user experience at my org. I strongly recommend this LMS product to any org seeking to adopt the best LMS on the market.

Vorteile:

Among the LMS products that I have worked with, Cornerstone OnDemand provides the most customizable solution for unique business needs. Cornerstone provides an abundance of training for clients, including hundreds of on demand videos, online courses, online help articles, and virtual instructor led training classes for administrators to upskill their familiarity with the features. Each client is unique, and we have a tremendous ability to tailor the learning experience for end users. At my organization, which is a retail company with 80% un-desked workers, employees love the possibilities for learning in the flow of work, such as with Express Class, and the easy to use AI-supported carousels on Learner Home. Edge Import provides an easy experience for loading historical data and courses into the system in batch. We are able to support 100k+ employees with a core admin team of 4 with smart security configurations and the ability to use custom pages to embed self-service tools for end users and instructors directly within the portal.

Nachteile:

Cornerstone is constantly growing and adapting its product during quarterly releases and they are very inclusive with customer suggestions for future enhancements. There is a lot of thought that goes into release planning and UAT through a stage environment and release ready webinars. Often these enhancements are the direct result of client suggestions that have been upvoted by other clients. It is a huge product with a top talent product management team, and I am always impressed with how the product is updated to adapt to new technologies and industry trends, as well as business needs. I would love to see even more emphasis in the future on release updates to include even more customer suggestions, even though the releases are already very robust.

CSOD - Access your learning anywhere/anytime!

Kommentare: Overall, we are very pleased with our selection and have no plans of leaving this application any time soon. We just resigned for another 5 years, so that speaks volumes to our confidence level with this product.

Vorteile:

We have found that our users required no training to be able to use the Cornerstone software successfully. Given that we have 10,000 employees, this was a key deciding factor when we signed on.

Nachteile:

There’s always going to be small issues that may be frustrating. The one thing that we found is that their customer service/support central is more than adequately prepared to handle anything that comes up.

CSOD Getting Better Every Year!

Kommentare: We are very happy with the applicatoin. We have been with Cornerstone for over 3 years now and signed a new contract for another 5 years. The support we get from them is excellent and would not look elsewhere.

Vorteile:

Constant improvement (quaterly) is something I really like about this application. Users do not complain about it, which is a huge plus for us supporting the app in our organization. The application is big and there is always something new to learn or better way of doing things.

Nachteile:

There is not much that I can say negative about the application. One thing that I would like to change is character count when creating groups. It might seem small for some organization admins, but for us its a important as our groups can be very large. It is frustrating when creating a group and you are unable to save it because you succeeded the character limit. Not a deal breaker but for sure an annoyance that can perhaps be fixed in the next releases.

Cornerstone LMS not great for complicated builds

Kommentare: My experience is both good and bad. Good in that I have gotten used to the way the product works and can maneuver well. Bad in that its tedious work and there are areas where streamlining is needed.

Vorteile:

Cornerstone was an improvement over the LMS platforms we were using 5 years ago. It handles large amounts of learning objects and dynamic assignments well if its simple. It doesn't like complicated assignments. The system works well with a simple set of learning objects assigned to a simple group with a due date. If you need to build a complicated group (one with many parameters), it may not work as well. Also the removal of items is a challenge when you are removing from a large number of transcripts.

Nachteile:

the administration of cornerstone is not straight forward. There are a lot of nuances that come up when you are completing various activities. There is also the inconsistencies with various screens throughout. In some areas you can click check all or uncheck all to select multiple objects. In other areas you cannot and have to click individually, which is time consuming.

Solid HRIS system with a strong LMS

Kommentare: Overall, Cornerstone is a solid and robust system. We run into very few issues with it. It has helped us reach our global workforce and manage learning within our organization.

Vorteile:

Cornerstone offers one of the better LMSs that I've managed in my career. They continue to update the system with new features and evolve it with emerging technology like machine learning and mobile compatibility. It supports all of the content we use and user management is relatively painless. Each area of the system integrates with the others. This allows for a very cohesive performance management suite.

Nachteile:

The weak spot of Cornerstone is their customer service. It has been a pain point for several years. They say they are working on improving it and sometimes they do, but it still has a long ways to go. I also wish the system had more robust mobile compatibility. This is something they have been working on, but they are behind some competitors. They also need further support for multimedia, specifically video.

Specialized tool for training and certification goals among employees

Kommentare: All in all, Cornerstone LMS possess the important modules and functionalities that an LMS system should have. If your company is using Cornerstone system and all that you are lacking is an LMS, then you may want to consider Cornerstone LMS for your training purposes.

Vorteile:

I liked it when Cornerstone has made it possible to have a separate software just for managing the training, certifications, and more for the employee goal setting. The modules provided are straightforward and are very useful and customizable depending on your department's processes. Cornerstone LMS helped our team to track our progress in our quarterly goals, and I think this is what the managers use to see the percentage reports in our team's output.

Nachteile:

Similar to Cornerstone HR, I wish that Cornerstone LMS's UI and UX will be improved and better simplified for a nicer viewing of the progress. The website's workflow can be intimidating and confusing at first, especially the grouping of the navigation bars and menus.

A complete solution for providing educational content

Vorteile:

There were no missing elements or workaround to be done to achieve the desired results

Nachteile:

Progress can be lost on a few rare occasions

CSOD - Great Enterprise LMS

Kommentare: - user friendly/stable LMS that hits all the major offerings of comparable LMS's on the market
- committed to improving the product and the customer experience
-

Vorteile:

- easy to use/intuitive end user experience - highly customizable - stable/quick response when issues arise - quarterly upgrades offer frequent improvement - robust help functionality (knowledge articles, training, etc)

Nachteile:

- administration can be complex (by-product of high customization) - functionality can be hidden/unavailable to even the overall system admin until vendor enables, making it easy to miss helpful updates - mix of old/new functionality can be confusing: as updates are rolled out piece by piece it can feel a bit disjointed

Cornerstone across the years

Kommentare: Very positive. In the last 20 years I have worked with Saba, Sum Total, and Cornerstone. This has been exclusively Cornerstone for the past 12 years. I'm sure that says something!

Vorteile:

It is functionally rich with a clear and visible roadmap of future product development and in recent years clients have had some level of influence and input into this.

Nachteile:

It is a hugely configurable platform which is both a strength and also a weakness, particularly when first implementing. Rapid innovation in emerging areas such a skills and learning in the flow of work whilst critical, does carry the cost of leaving some parts of the platform looking a little tired and in need of overhaul (e.g. managing events and sessions).

Cornerstone OnDemand

Kommentare: Our business use for this was tracking regulatory training for roughly 12 trainers in the health care field. This is also where people could sign up for in-person training whether that was a leadership class, CPR, etc. We were starting to use it for succession planning - although I feel we could have just used PowerPoint. We didn't use it for performance although we looked into it.

Vorteile:

This is a flashy LMS. It looks great to the user. For a large organization, this was helpful with tracking regulatory trainings and more. It has all the bells and whistles.

Nachteile:

The reason I would never recommend this to a colleague is because of the price and admin functions. First, the price. We were shown from the beginning, everything the system could offer, which we obviously loved, but shame on us for not asking additional questions. What we saw and what we got were different. For additional pricing, we could add on. Even customer service hours were charged. In the end this costed triple what we originally thought. Furthermore, my second issue was the admin functionality. It was extremely complicated. We had 12 trainers working on the back end to get it implemented, on top of that we eventually hired 3 full time employees to work on the admin part for upgrades, running reports, etc. That is obviously another cost. As much as the system was user friendly... It wasn't worth the cost when there are plenty of learning management systems that are user and admin friendly, for less.

Cornerstone has made our training lives so much easier

Kommentare: Cornerstone LMS has been a lifesaver for our training. We love that we can upload our own trainings, assign out to all employees (2000) and have a record of them reviewing the product. We , as a law enforcement agency, find it very important to have accurate record of training especially for law suits.

Vorteile:

Once we figured out how to use Cornerstone it has been very easy to use. We have multiple training managers and the product has been easy to teach to many others. Our employees have found it convenient and easy to find available training.

Nachteile:

Some of the set up process has been difficult to figure out. Creating certification or attestation forms has been difficult.

We have come a long way.

Kommentare: We have seen Cornerstone make improvements in the time that we have been with them. Our team have been self taught for the most part. Fewer tickets have been submitted. We have discovered opportunities that we would like to explore and use the system to its fullest potential.

Vorteile:

The Performance and learning modules are used the most and we were able to accomplish what we needed as we switched from a different deliverable.

Nachteile:

Some pieces within the modules do not have the same behavior across the board which can make it very frustrating at times.

Cornerstone Learning Management System

Kommentare: Cornerstone is a highly customizable solution. Although there is much training needed from an admin perspective to optimize its functionality, the user experience is a positive one.

Vorteile:

Cornerstone offers a large base of resources to use and learn the system. Not only is it user friendly for employees, but also allows for ease of tracking training from an admin perspective. Although security can be complicated, the system offers many choices in how companies would like to set up user access. The ability to customize the system to meet organizational needs is great. Continuous updates to the system in order to make improvements and add enhancements is definitely a plus.

Nachteile:

Some older features can use a facelift. When questions are submitted, the response time is slow. Instead of removing features in order to add new ones, would be beneficial to leave those that work well while adding additional features instead of removing those that clients appreciate in order to make room for new features. Improvements to the mobile app are needed in order for it to be a full experience for users as it is on the web.

Great Product

Kommentare: I've used several other learning management systems and cornerstone is by far the best i've used for meeting standard business requirements.

Vorteile:

Great implementation experience, the customer success center is top notch, and the ease of use is there for the end-user

Nachteile:

If you have casual administrators who aren't in the system often, it can be cumbersome to navigate the back end - this is why the cornerstone success center is such a blessing

Good for what we need it for!

Kommentare: Good. Solid platform that has met our needs

Vorteile:

Easy to deploy, Good update cycle and support, adaptive and configurable

Nachteile:

Can be clunky for end user, lots of clicks, upgrades in different areas run counter to each other

Awful LMS

Vorteile:

Security, is almost impossible to hack with the spaghetti and awful code it has.

Nachteile:

Simply put, is the worst LMS I ever tried. - Very, very sluggish, in time response and workflow. - Not intuitive, every time we make a course, we also need to make a PDF manual for the users, unbelievable. - Full of bugs, the tool is unpredictable, we launch a course, and if many users report a problem there is no way to fix, we need to make a new course with a different ID, even if the admin test the course, there is no way to make changes after it. - Complete lack of plugins or extra functionalities. Maybe it would be a very good LMS if we were in 2005, but right now, we have much better options.

Talent Management with Ease

Kommentare: I think Cornerstone LMS has a lot of potential that can apply to many organizations. With the continuous improvements in the quarterly releases, the system is often being improved and issues being addressed.

Vorteile:

The learner interface is very easy to use and very modern. Learners can find training rather than always relying on training being pushed to them

Nachteile:

There are some features that are a bit outdated and can cause the administration to be a little more involved than it needs to be.

Powerful LMS

Kommentare: Overall our experience has been great. The LMS does exactly what we need to train our employees.

Vorteile:

Cornerstone is very powerful. It has all of the advanced functions we need for a large and complex organization.

Nachteile:

The admin side can be hard for a new user. It takes time and training to understand all the power and complexities of the system.

One of the best learning platform..

Kommentare: It is one of the best learning management system I have ever come across.

Vorteile:

The learning management system is very simple and easy to use.It is highly customizable.The product forum and community is built strongly.More in house training courses are included

Nachteile:

At times it is difficult to find/track our certificationReporting feature can be improved
