Cornerstone Learning Review

Great products when implemented and configured properly

Valuable Features:

Administration side is very user friendly and with lots of online help available

Room for Improvement:

UI/UX can be improved, although CSoD is very responsive to customer's feedback and does implement many new features suggested by customers

Use of Solution:

2 Years

Stability Issues:

This is probably the most stable solution I have worked with, very few down-times or unexpected behaviours

Initial Setup:

The most challenging part of the implementation is understanding the customer requirements/objectives, if those are clearly elaborated and documented, implementation can be seamless and straightforward

Other Advice:

Best in class solution with frequent updates/new releases

The quarterly release schedule is good in a way as it provides frequent new features and improvements, but it can be challenging to keep up with all those updates.

My main recommendation would be to make sure to do lots of testing before making anything live to ensure it's configured and works as expected.

Also, functional testing and UAT should be carried out on each new feature released which is implemented. If you required any further recommendations on testing please feel free to get in touch.

**Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer: I provide independent consulting services on Cornerstone onDemand and Saba People Cloud solutions via my own business and sometimes via vendor's partners. I have worked for both Saba and Cornestone onDemand direclty in the past.

Highlights
It is a complete suite of solutions and features. Compared to other solutions which are more niche solutions, which may be as good as Cornerstone or even better in certain parts of it, like discerning user experience. You will not find another solution that has the same completeness of features in all different areas of learning.
What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid.
The most valuable features are the Playlists, Learning Assignment Tool, Earner Experience Platform, Machine Learning, and Reporting 2.0.
Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion.
Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time.
