Performance tracking and goal setting are much easier now. I've had a good experience, but there's a learning curve involved.

“It is OK, but needs a modernized, more intuitive user interface”

3.0
Jan 8, 2025
My overall experience is somewhere in the middle. The platform has a largo number of features for talent acquisition, talent management, compensation, etc. Its interface is not friendly, both for the administrator and for the users, it seems as if I were using in a 90s platform. Finally, the reports are very limited and do not allow for much customization.

Cornerstone Galaxy Likes & Dislikes

Like

It is great how it integrates performance and learning together. I like the wide range of features for learning management including the training and courses.

Like

I like that it is a complete platform where you can have all your HR processes. I also think the integration is relatively easy to do. And finally, if you don't have a platform, this is better than nothing.

Like

The full cycle, from recruiting, to on-boarding, compliance learning, role based learning, LXP, Talent Marketplace. this is the best one-stop talent solution I have worked with.

Dislike

Some courses may take some time to load or may be inaccessible.

Dislike

What I dislike most is the lack of customization options, especially when it comes to reports. The reporting functionality feels rigid and doesn't offer enough flexibility to tailor the data to our specific needs. Additionally, the platform is not very user friendly; navigating through the various features can be confusing and the interface feels outdated compared to other modern solutions. This makes it less intuitive and harder to adopt across the organization.

Dislike

The look and feel in the back end for admin, plus the reporting, this need a great upgrade
