Cornerstone LMS

Avantages

Un outil complet qui permet de piloter la performance des collaborateurs de l'entreprise, d'accompagner les projets professionnels, de gérer les compétences au sens large ainsi que les revues des talents.

Inconvénients

Une solution complexe qui nécessite l'appui de consultants ou d'équipes IT : les RH ne peuvent pas générer de façon autonome les campagnes d'entretiens / reportings... Un outil peu intuitif pour les collaborateurs.
Un service client payant avec un système d'abonnement pour avoir un délai de réponse correct.

Avantages

This platform is very simple and suitable for specific requirement. Instructor-led, virtual and interactive modules of the training meets the organization's expectation

Inconvénients

It provides various option for the training assignment like based on job role, self registration

Avantages

The functionality is comprehensive, with a lot of features you can customize including custom pages which are great for improving the user experience.

Inconvénients

It is a very slow system - each time you update a field, the whole page refreshes. There are still a lot of functionalities that one would think would be a given with an LMS that despite feedback, they choose to focus on their bigger scale feature releases.

Pourquoi passer à Cornerstone LMS

Avantages

What I liked most about Cornerstone LMS was its comprehensive reporting functionality. It allowed for detailed insights into training progress and completion rates, making it easier to assess the effectiveness of learning initiatives.

Inconvénients

I feel that navigating the reporting tools can be time-consuming. Some of the features felt overly complex, which occasionally slowed down the data retrieval process.

Avantages

- Cornerstone LMS is excellent for managing and delivering online learning content, especially with multiple learning audiences. as the platform is highly customizable to meet the needs of different specific audiences.- The reporting and analytics features are robust.

Inconvénients

- The pricing for Cornerstone LMS can be quite high- Reliability and performance are serious concerns- Customization options can be overwhelming, requiring a significant amount of time and effort to set up and maintain.

Avantages

Breadth of Capabilities and a clean and robust user interface.

Inconvénients

Could be difficult to admin for new users to an LMS

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

-Interactive lessons
-Content Library
-Great dashboard
-Good Customer service

Inconvénients

-Doesn't work well with Internet Explorer.
-Customer Service is great, but took time to get someone on the line.

Avantages

I really like the integration of courses and exams, the ability to pull transcripts, and assign courses.

Inconvénients

Reporting in the system can be confusing and clunky.

Avantages

It was easy to follow the videos to learn.

Inconvénients

Videos are sometimes long and drawn out especially for refreshers.

Avantages

Works in almost any Android or OS. Is user friendly. Has genuine indepth content. Works well with collaboration too. Best experience for learners and teachers.

Inconvénients

Nothing in particular. User friendly. Especially for beginners.

Avantages

Range of functionality and ease of implementation. Does more than most LMSs out there. Initial setup and integration was outsourced and great whilst support lasted.

Inconvénients

Expensive and some features hidden behind paywall. Customer support varied dependant on who your CSM was.

Pourquoi choisir Cornerstone LMS 

Pourquoi passer à Cornerstone LMS

Avantages

Many nice features, like Playlists - you can create a playlist with any links you want and share with employees (e.g. leadership Inspirational videos/articles).

Easy to assign training for a big group of employees (very easy to create a specific group based on employees' features like a place where they work).

The end result, e.g. assigned training, looks good from the user's perspective. Easy to re-assign which is very useful for mandatory training.

Inconvénients

The biggest problem for me is a very unfriendly administration panel - to create anything, you need a lot of "clicks", and in every part of the system, it looks different (e.g. you have to sometimes click 'done' to add something, and in another place just click on '+'). Sometimes it seems to have no logic (even Cornerstone employees have sometimes problems answering how the given feature will work...).

It is also difficult to edit anything in many places, which means that you have to start work from scratch (e.g. when creating a test, you can set that user will receive partial points for multiple-choice questions, but if you did not choose it when creating the question, you have to create the question from scratch)

And the last annoying thing for me - practically nothing can be deleted from the system if it has been used at least once, which creates a long list of unnecessary materials / tests / training / etc and makes it very difficult to find what you need.

Avantages

Cornerstone is the most innovative and easy to use of all the systems we have tried.

Inconvénients

I wish it were easier to upload the OnCourse compliance courses. Other than that... no complaints

Avantages

The product is easy to use for Beginners as well as Experienced professionals. Very easy to configure. The Learner experience platform has a great feel with new categories of carousels being introduced in every release. The Reporting 2.0 module looks great. The Edge Import tool is a great tool for backend data upload and metadata update for us admins.

Inconvénients

The Certification module has seen no enhancements in the last 5 years.

Avantages

There is a great underlying structure to Cornerstone Learning. The functionality is there and they are some very powerful features to help with automation and managing learning for your organization.

Inconvénients

The presentation is not great. The front end is serviceable, but the back end needs some coordination and simplification to be a really great product. They are addressing some of this with Xplor, but since it's an additional cost, be prepared for that.

Avantages

The continuous improvement of the overall product and even more that some improvements are directly linked to Customers feedback.

Inconvénients

The administration/configuration is not on-par with the rest of the product. It feels less polished and administrators might go through quite some time and clicks to be able to configure a certain feature.

Avantages

Working to integrate Cornerstone with our business had some challenges with setting up the system with our vendors, both current and previous. While we still have trouble with our integration from ADP to Cornerstone, our transition to the system has been pretty smooth. The system offers SSO Access which cuts down on the need to reset passwords and has a very sleek and intuitive design. I think that is the best part of the software - end users find the tool easy to access.

Inconvénients

As a Learning Administrator, I am responsible for updating content and learning assignments throughout the organization. Versioning content and their associated assignments in Cornerstone is very confusing, and I often make mistakes that cannot be reversed. I think that is what is challenging about Cornerstone - once you submit a change, it is difficult to undo without a back-end service.

Avantages

The entire documentation (OnlineHelp, release notes) , community and forum is well structured and easy to find an information or use case.
Also, the Product academy is offering us support to get the recognized CSOD certifications.

Inconvénients

some of the improvements we suggested were not prioritized;
Some actions we raise to GPS support are marked as billable working orders even if sometimes it is related to a tool issue.

Avantages

The software is user friendly and pretty adaptable to fit our business needs. Most of the screens are modern in design (some need updating) and the workflows are able to be flexed so that the process is not clunky and hard to navigate. It works well for our internal recruitment team and for the most part our candidates, although some improvement could be made to restricting views to some of our managers as they for our process we dont need them to see some of the status's or have the ability to change them. Overall it is one of the better recruitment systems out there for flexibility and functionality. The fact that we are able to track candidates source is crucial to our business and supports our budgeting strategy really well.

Inconvénients

The helpdesk support could be better and more efficient in responding. Having the ability to share screens in real time to highlight issues or discuss improvements that could be made would be better.

Avantages

lots of features and options to arrange the system in your way, you can implement on your own speed and what you want, great user community, very good product documentation

Inconvénients

quality and speed of customer support needs to be improved, treatment of improvement suggestions is bad and not transparent at all, sometimes administration is very cumbersome, some areas of the system still are in old-school design

Avantages

Cornerstone has created and outlet for users across varied companies to collaborate and advocate for new and/or improved features. I have seen requested features come to fruition in their regularly scheduled feature updates that are rolled out several times a year.

Inconvénients

In regards to training and support, Cornerstone definitely prioritizes some functionality over others. When working in the Certification Management area, I have rarely communicated with anyone who I would call an expert. I have often gotten the odd look and the blow off when I expressed my need for assistance in this area.

Avantages

Excellent UI and End User experience. Great product and customer teams, quarterly updates that always add meaningful, high quality new features.

Inconvénients

Lots of configuration, you really have to know what you want to achieve, rather than just take it off the shelf.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

Edge, Learning Assignment Tool, Learner Home

Inconvénients

Reporting (does not have a robust Dashboard creation for managers to have a holistic view of their team performance), ILT creation is still very complicated and not user friendly

Avantages

We use the Learning, Performance and Succession Modules. I really like the fact that each module "talks" to each other. It makes for a more robust platform and reporting is so easy!

Inconvénients

The Succession Module works but there are times that it can be a bit clunky. Overall I do like how they all work together.
