Find out in this report how the two Talent Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like the most about Cornerstone is that it is agile. It has good built-in processes and the implementation is rapid."
"The most valuable feature is how easy it is to learn and use. It's built off the Microsoft Word format, so if you can use Word, you'll be able to figure this out."
"It is a one-stop shop solution, where you can actually log in using your Windows username and password, and the single sign-on can be configured with this LMS."
"The most valuable features of Cornerstone Learning are how extensive the configurable the solution is."
"Combining everything together, our on-time completions have gone from the mid-sixty percentile to over 99% on-time completion."
"Stability and scalability are good. They have four releases every year of which learning is a big portion of that. They're constantly refining and defining and they're embedding a lot of new technology into it all the time."
"Their integration features with other platforms are valuable. It is also relatively easy to use. Their library of training modules is fairly robust as well."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution provides the ability to trace back records, is reliable, makes life easy, and is secure."
"The most valuable features of Sage People are the reports that are useful for decision-making and the API that can be integrated well. Additionally, the solution can be accessed from mobile devices onto the cloud."
"The solution's initial setup was straightforward."
"The report builder and dashboard builder are very, very good."
"Compared to the other system that we were using, I think Sage is more friendly. As an administrator, Sage's dashboard is visually friendly and many tasks are easier to accomplish. Another feature that we've liked since we started using Sage is the reporting. With the other system, we needed to configure a lot of things manually when it came to reporting, but with Sage the reporting tasks are much simpler."
"The solution is beneficial overall."
"The reporting features are also very valuable because, on top of 300+ reports available on the system, you can also customize quite a number of reports."
"Sage makes all the information accessible, like pulling a file because an employee needs something ASAP. It's all in the system. It's easy to find old reports if I need them for payroll purposes. It might take days to do some of this work by hand."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvement in the dashboards and reporting."
"There is a need for quite a bit of improvement. The reporting side of things definitely needs a lot of improvement. At the moment, it gives you a data dump. You have to open it up in Excel and filter out the bits that you don't want and need."
"The existing test functionality is really old-fashioned, basic, and limited."
"The recruitment module needs to be improved in Cornerstone Learning."
"Its integration with Microsoft Teams for virtual sessions could be better"
"In the next release, I would like to see a Hybrid architecture and to be able to customize the look and feel."
"Even though the system has a number of features, design wise the user interface is a little bit complicated. It is hard for the user to navigate properly. Because the system has so many features, it has a lot of tabs and links. Sometimes, people get confused as to where to go and search."
"Cornerstone Learning can improve reporting. If they had a harmonization of the administration UIs it would be great."
"There were a couple of things that we wanted to customize, but we couldn’t do it ourselves."
"The user interface is not great."
"In my opinion, the performance management module of this system could use improvement as it falls behind compared to other specialized performance management platforms."
"The automation in Sage People could improve. The solution is the best used for data storage but the automation could be better to have more functionality."
"If Sage People were to become a fully cloud-based solution, it could lead to significant improvements. With the COVID pandemic highlighting the benefits of remote work, a complete shift to cloud-based functionality would be a welcome development for users."
"Its stability could be better."
"Its technical support could have been better."
"The budget module does not work. Sage People need to maybe make it more user-friendly."
