They have been so much easy in the last couple of years since the company implemented this software. > > **Cons**: I don't like how often you have to change passwords but that's a minor inconvenience really. ----- ### "CSOD Performance a Good Choice 4 Your Bussiness" — 5.0/5 > **Alfredo** | *13 May 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use Easy to adapt to the software Easy to obtain Data to Analize > > **Cons**: Not to easy to implement in a big company, but, not impossible Complex to integrate with others systems Almost all integration needs to be a Technical Project > > Good. Not bad. ----- ### "Cornerstone" — 3.0/5 > **Andrea** | *9 December 2015* > > We have implemented the Performance Section of Cornerstone. The product to the end user is very nice, although the set up was very time consuming. When we started the process they told us everything was customizable and we would get an implementation expert to help us along with the process. You are basically setting the whole thing up from scratch by yourself. I love system now, but the set up or implementation was very time consuming and not exactly as easy as we thought it was. ----- ### "Great Talent Management System" — 4.0/5 > **Heather** | *9 November 2015* > > Cornerstone is the best and most comprehensive solution that I have seen for talent management. I have used the LMS, Performance, Succession, Connect and Extended Enterprise modules. CSOD continues to make enhancements to their product, especially with Learning, Connect and Performance, but where they are lacking is in enhancements to their mobile app and to their Succession module. While I do find great value in reaching out to their Global Product Support team, it will sometimes take days and even weeks before you get a response from them on a case. The communication to the customer is lacking there. Additionally, I find that some of the modules, such as Performance and Succession, can be really complex and require a lot of testing and trial and error to get things right. It does help that you are given two test environments (Stage and Pilot) to test things in. The quarterly releases have also gotten better over time, with many resources that can be used throughout User Acceptance Testing and the rest of the release cycle. Change is not always handled seamlessly for the customer, as we have experienced major delays when our Account Manager was on leave and also our Client Success Manager was out on leave. The people who filled in for them seemed overwhelmed and as a result there was a lack of communication. The 360 Degree performance review functionality can be great if you make the initial time investment to set it up. The one thing that Cornerstone does not provide with their 360 functionality is benchmarking with other companies, which our HR decided they wanted to do and therefore went with a different vendor for 360 reviews. Overall, Cornerstone is a great encompassing talent management system and I have not encountered another company that comes close to what they offer. ----- ### "Great Performance Management tool" — 5.0/5 > **Chelsea** | *12 November 2015* > > Cornerstone Performance Cloud offers a robust, and very customizable tool to help manage your employees' performance. With tools to set and align Goals to organizational values, development plans that allow users to pull in recommended training based on their competency assessments or career interests, and observation checklists to certify skills and qualifications, the Performance cloud helps our organization better understand and assess the talent that we have so that we can engage and empower them to develop personally and professionally. We were able to totally makeover our performance processes now including goal setting, and development planning as part of quarterly "check-ins" (mini performance reviews) which ensure that problem areas are addressed in a timely manner and there are no surprises during the Annual Review. 360 Reviews allow us to collect feedback from co-workers and external partners to ensure the quality of services our staff provide. Initial testing and configuration can take a little time, but is well worth it. Annual Reivews are no longer just a pile of paperwork for our HR department, but the feedback is relevant and actionable. Cornerstone Product Support is knowledgeable and timely in their response. I love that Cornerstone really listens to their clients. Suggestions and feedback made to Cornerstone are actually reviewed and often implemented. Their product is always growing and improving. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/148621/cornerstone-performance?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/148621/cornerstone-performance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
