Modernizing and streamlining our performance management processes in a single location with ease and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cornerstone OnDemand?

The support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so I can always get help no matter when I need it. The system is user-friendly for both administrators and end users. They accept suggestions for improvement ("enhancement requests") so the product continues to get better and better all the time as they evolve to meet their customers' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability for multiple users to be working on an appraisal form at the same time would be nice without them having to send it back and forth to each other within the system. The ability to more easily track enhancement requests would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Cornerstone OnDemand helped with:

Note that we are currently only using the performance module. Cornerstone was an great product that in theory solved our performance needs (mainly, moving off of a paper process) while also allowing improvements such as competency models, goal alignment, 360 evaluations, improvement planning, and more frequent check-ins. In practice, we are a three years into using the system and partly due to the complexity of all the theoretically great features, have been slow to roll out the system to end users. For performance management, the setup and general UI isn't intuitive for a system that isn't used on a daily basis, and we have needed to invest much more time in training and change management than initially planned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cornerstone OnDemand?

The product is feature-rich, but be sure to have plenty of resources dedicated to every aspect of your use case. And other than large system outages or issues, be ready to handle technical issues internally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone OnDemand?

While it does seem possible (though on a longer timeline) to eventually roll out additional features and greatly enhance performance management for all our users, another issue compounding the slow rollout speed is answer to technical tickets when we submit them to Cornerstone's Global Product Support. We do continue to put these in on the offhand that we get a helpful answer or a fix, but other than system outages, we rarely get help this way. The support for technical issues feels outsourced, and the technicians answering questions rarely seem to be familiar with Cornerstone any more than one of our users. Due to this supporting being our first point of contact, we usually spend an extraordinary amount of time going through the motions with this team, until we finally escalate to our specific product support contact (who is usually much more helpful; if there isn't a fix, she is usually able to offer us workarounds or explanations for system issues). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone OnDemand solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to largely move our staff off paper evaluations and make our entire process of feeding scores and storing evaluation documents automatic, which has removed a huge burden from our HR team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
