    Cornerstone OnDemand provides an overall fit for our organization's training needs. Our HR Directors are able to provide and monitor activities and stay abreast of annual mandatory trainings.

    Chose Cornerstone OnDemand
    CSOD has the easiest to use user interface. If employees do not like to use it it will not be as affective as a tool to manage talent. All modules of CSOD are developed to the same level, in all other platforms I found there was a lacking in one of the areas of the platform …

    Chose Cornerstone OnDemand
    Reporting and analytics in Dayforce is more complex and more powerful. The dashboards and reports customization are superior in Dayforce. However, Cornerstone's Reporting module is easier to learn and use.

    Before purchasing CSOD, we used Epicor HCM but unfortunately, this is an outdated system and the vendor offered poor service. CSOD offers much better structure and evolution.

    Chose Cornerstone OnDemand
    We actually needed Cornerstone OnDemand because our main HRIS could not handle performance reviews or disciplinary history the way our company needed it done. We originally purchased Cornerstone because it was a learning management system. It is surprising that it is more …

    Our company impact has been greatly accepted across our company, Ceridian has made work day a lot easier and less confusing on where to go and where to find certain items.

    There were many things I liked about Oracle. Specifically the flexibility with reporting. However, employee record management in Core HR and something as complex as Benefits Admin, setting up plans, updating rates, launching OE, I think I have had a better experience with …

    We selected it because it is great to have a single software that centralizes everything. Efficiency was increased from not having to go into different software and screens. This software allows our HR and Payroll department to works more closely.

    Chose Dayforce
    It allows for easier and more accurate reporting, and because all data is in one system, we are able to run fewer reports while still gaining the right data.

    We have seen some deficiencies between our old system and Dayforce.

    We like having a one stop shop for most of what we're using but there are still improvements to be made.

    Chose Dayforce
    The time savings alone has been wonderful. We upgraded from Ceridian HPL to Dayforce using a third-party time keeping system. There was a lot of import/export functionality required. Our self service system was separate as well. The likelihood of something being overlooked …
