"It has the best data management features."
"I like the talent, recruitment, and learning features the most."
"Its dashboard and analytics must be improved. Currently, we get the data, but we don't get anything from the insightfulness perspective. Analytics is where it requires a lot of work. We definitely expect some good dashboard features, which are currently lacking in this solution. From a technical perspective, they need to open access to all HTML tags. It currently doesn't support many HTML tags, which makes it challenging to create HTML pages."
"The user interface is in need of improvement."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"The automated ticketing system for technical support often has a response time that is quite long, which is something that should be improved."
"Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"There are some configuration elements that require Cornerstone engineering resources. It would be nice if we could self-serve. I would like the ability to manage the user interface or the navigation and layout of the pages that are displayed to end-users."
"Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"Managing changes in applications can be challenging since it complicates testing and unit testing, resulting in longer testing phases. This time-consuming process often leaves little room for actual work."
"This solution needs to be more configurable and user-friendly."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
