### "Cornerstone Performance Performs\!" — 4.0/5

> **Melissa** | *October 11, 2016*
> 
> Cornerstone Performance has seemingly unlimited options when you're building your company's performance process.  However, this can also be a problem since in some cases you're forced to have more "bells and whistles" than you want on some steps, and that can be confusing to folks that are new to a structured performance process.   From an administrator perspective it is so much easier to use than other platforms, and the Product Support team is AMAZING.  They are always just a phone call away and they are friendly and helpful.   The Cornerstone implementation partners are wonderful as well, and they really hold your hand through every step of configuring the module.   Calibration is the one area that this module is lacking, if you like to do performance calibration.  It is a simple report, whereas i'm accustomed to a more dynamic and in-depth system calibration on performance scores.  Overall though, i'm very pleased with the product.

### "Performance Appraisal Process is a Breeze in Conerstone" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *November 6, 2015*
> 
> We implemented the Performance cloud at my previous company and used it for annual performance appraisals for 2014 reviews. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive for the system. Employees found the review process to be quick and easy. They enjoyed being able to import their goals created earlier in the year into the review for a faster process. For an organization that was sometimes hesitant to change, they jumped on board with the Performance platform in Cornerstone and were very impressed with what they saw.&#10;&#10;We also created competency models in the Performance cloud, and managers greatly appreciated this functionality as well. You are able to take a competency model,  use it to assess and employee, have them self-reflect, and then have a coaching conversation around the assessment. You can also tie development plans to the assessment and keep record of it in Cornerstone.&#10;&#10;Highly recommend this cloud\!

### "Terrible - Buggy Slow" — 2.0/5

> **Chris** | *February 3, 2016*
> 
> The software is almost usable.&#10;&#10;Running a software company - if we gave our users this product we would shortly go bankrupt.&#10;&#10;Consistent lags \&amp; pauses.  FLASH interface \&amp; non intuitive interface led to a poor product

### "Taking Performance Management to a New Level" — 5.0/5

> **Giulia** | *November 16, 2015*
> 
> We just switched to using Cornerstone for our performance management system and absolutely love it. It is clean, user friendly and administrator friendly. The system aligns with our talent management strategy and allows organizations to bring in competency assessments and development plans into the review. The goal functionality allows you to align goals all the way up to the top of the organization. We have already used the system to deploy our annual performance review and I have heard nothing but positive feedback from our employees. Additionally, working with Cornerstone is like working with a true partner. My implementation specialist has been like an extension of my HR team and has been extremely helpful. I could not be more thankful to Cornerstone for opening our eyes to what a true performance management system can and should do.

### "Cornerstone" — 4.0/5

> **Mike** | *November 16, 2015*
> 
> As a system, Cornerstone can do many things and is absolutely one of the premier Learning Management System's out there. The one big issue I have is with the support structure and how they handle incidents with their clients. Once a ticket is raised with global product support it seems like it goes in a black hole and for the most part you have to rely on your CSM for updates to tickets and to get any traction on getting the issue resolved. Another problem I have is with the Client Success Center and "Suggestion City" I cant even begin to tell you how many suggestions we have made only to just sit out there in suggestion city with no actions taken. It would be helpful if they showed a direct correlation between changes in releases to requests made by clients.
