## Reviews

### "An integrated HR platform that is easy for users but very rigid and complex for the administrrator" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *October 21, 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the features, that it has a lot of the HR process in it, it is integrated. It is very easy to use, our clients like it.
> 
> **Cons**: It is very rigid when configuring, even in things like weird and complex names of buttons or features that can not be changed and that can disturb the user experience. It has a lot of things that are integrated and others that would be easy but are not. Something terrible is the administrator experience, the difficulty and clicks to configure something. Other platforms let you massively upload information, and a lot of Cornerstone doesn't.. it is VERY manual for the administrator. And last but not least the service takes a lot of time, it has bugs all the time.

### "corporate HR tool but usable also for mid size companies" — 4.0/5

> **Jaroslava** | *November 27, 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: all in one system. they have an integration with Microsoft for viva teams platform - so you can easily connects all of the learning and steudy materials from cornerstone LMS into Viva learning in MS Teams. We are just working on this integration in our company.
> 
> **Cons**: quite a robust system, you need an external consultant to help you set up / make changes in set up.
> 
> It is helping us with compliance courses - we dont have to care about it, it is automatical. We have all data in one system.

### "Has potential, but it was not used properly" — 3.0/5

> **Yvonne** | *October 28, 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the set up for evaluations.  I feel like there were areas that could be used to motivate employees and get the right people involved on approvals and moving forward with raises. My favorite part was the badges area which was fun in getting and giving badges.
> 
> **Cons**: It never worked like it should.  This is not Cornerstone's fault, I think it was the organization who set this up maybe wasn't savvy enough get the settings right.  They made lots of errors they had to fix.
> 
> Overall, if you have good people to get it going then go for it, but if your org isn't tech savvy then maybe you need another software when someone does more of the work for you so you can't mess it up.

### "An innovative tool for OKR and employee goal setting" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *October 19, 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - The tool is easily accessible- Cornerstone has many features for employee welfare, growth, and engagement -- especially for setting OKR and employee goals- Cornerstone also has features for accessing and managing employee documents and applying for leaves
> 
> **Cons**: - Cornerstone is never beginner and user-friendly. Can lack documentation from the management as well.- User experience and workflow is not too intuitive for now. Can be improved for faster and seamless transaction and operation
> 
> \- It is my first time to use an HR tool intended for OKR management and goal setting, so I have little expectation about the tool. The things that I am really after are the user-friendliness, beginner-friendliness, and good user experience. All in all, to be honest, Cornerstone is not so good in what I mentioned.- While the modules in the Cornerstone are existing, the UI and the workflow can still be improved.

### "Good product, but need to update support" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *December 6, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to customize and create templates that work for you and your organization. Its not always perfect but for the most part the flexibility provided was really helpful during our design phase.
> 
> **Cons**: The customer support left a lot to be desired.  Hard to reach reps, cases took too long to resolve, and at times they just did not match their SLA. &#10;&#10;Also their community page was hard to follow which made it hard to pull useful info.
