Simply Awful

1.0 2 years ago

Comments: Absolutely awful, once you sign that contract no one responds to you in a timeline manner. You get a lot of "that is how the system is built, can't help you" answers. They have a great sales team and awful everything else.

Pros:

Not a lot to be honest. If you have to pick something, it would be their reporting 2.0 tool. When it doesn't freeze or error out, it is simple to use.

Cons:

Where to start? Here are just a few highlights: - The worst customer service I'd ever experience working with a vendor. - They take days to reply to emails, same for technical support tickets, even when they are labeled as a high priority. - When you call the support line, their reps are customer service agents who are just reading the same outdated info you find on their documentation online, so useless. -If you need to escalate the issue, prepare to wait 2 days for a reply, the first reply will always be a question about something you already explained on the initial ticket. Then you'll be waiting at least another 48 hrs for an update on their "investigation." - Their compatibility with iPads has become very bad. Since 13.1 came out, we've had nothing but problems with files not loading, 404 errors, server errors, and to make matter worse, expect to wait a week or more to be told, there is nothing they can do. - If you have to set permissions at different levels, good luck figuring out how the hundreds of individual permissions interconnect and how they are dependent on each other. Their own training team can't help you with this area. So if you plan to create any custom permissions that fall outside the few standard positions they have already created, good luck, prepare to spend weeks testing settings. - They refused a 1-year extension and said that they wouldn't consider anything less than 2 and that there would be a significant price increase for less than 3.

Specialized tool for training and certification goals among employees

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: 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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Great Product Overall

5.0 last year

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.
