We performed a comparison between Cornerstone Learning and SAP HCM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Talent Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Its user-friendly interface is most valuable. You can configure your welcome page and design it the way you want on your own."
"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."
"It's better than the previous learning solutions we had. We liked that it was global. We liked that you don't have to be logged into the company network to be able to use it. Those were really big benefits for us."
"Their integration features with other platforms are valuable. It is also relatively easy to use. Their library of training modules is fairly robust as well."
"The most valuable feature of Cornerstone Learning is the reporting and learner transcripts."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"Cornerstone Learning's most valuable features are the keyword search, filters, and add-to-favorites option."
"The most valuable feature is Organizational Management (OM)."
"Payroll processing is my favorite HCM feature, and I like all the SuccessFactors talent modules also. SAP is making good progress on enhancements to the features in the SF modules."
"Recently, the localization versions for different countries were increased, and that added value to the solution."
"The tool's best feature is SAP SuccessFactors."
"SAP HCM has a good performance."
"We have features such as ABKRS based on the client's requirement, tariff and TMSTA, and so on."
"The integration between the different models like personnel administration, work management, payroll, and time management are the most valuable and key features."
"SAP HCM can handle a large number of employees. We can easily process payrolls and check the arrangements, and the client can also check the performance of the employees. Additionally, it has some advanced features."
"Cornerstone Learning's initial setup was complex, but I don't see that as a downside. It was complex because there is a lot of customizing and a lot of settings that can be done in the setup."
"Cornerstone Learning could be improved with more e-learning content."
"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."
"Could use more robust reporting or more flexibility and scalability around the reporting side."
"The support for this solution could be improved."
"In general, some of the portal pages have an outdated look and feel."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"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."
"SAP is not ready to sell the license on time and delays the progress of projects. It's better to work with a competitor like Oracle. Those that are selling the product just go through powerpoints and don't have the knowledge necessary to sell. They can't answer any questions."
"The breadth of functionality offered by SAP HCM comes at a cost."
"The current platform is quite rigid and not as flexible and end-user friendly as other HR solutions."
"It needs a lot of end user training as it is not intuitive at all."
"There are already success factors for the cloud solution which cannot be integrated into S/4 HANA."
"The extensibility of the integration could be improved."
"The organizational structure visualization could be improved in future releases. The solution has a very poor interface."
"It was difficult to deploy. There were challenges regarding configurations and implementation. So, we had a lot of issues."
