What do you like best?
Being able to assign groups of individuals courses in just a few clicks and being able to run reports easily.
What do you dislike?
Nothing really. The software meets our needs and they do updates periodically to improve the user experience.
Great platform overall for LMS - Intuitive, short learning curve, and easy to recycle content
Dec 26, 2023
What do you like best?
From the very first demo, the Absorb platform seemed very intuitive and designed with the Administrator in mind within the UI. That sense of mindfulness or intuitiveness has persisted all the way through implementation and into our launch with the platform. Support from the Absorb Success team is fabulous! They have a plan, a process, a methodology and if you'll follow, a successful implementation and launch is almost guaranteed.
What do you dislike?
Nothing stands out as a dislike, but I can comment on a feature that would save time. When importing PowerPoint slides (the import tool is very good), it would be great if there was a way to convert animations.
Absorb is easy to use for both learners and Administrators

What do you like best?
The software is user friendly, you can learn how to use it from the Admin point of view very quickly. Every action is explained within the UI and the structure makes sense. It's a solid LMS that allows a high level of customization without relying on coding knowledge. Customer Success Managers and Customer support are always available, helpful and knowledgeable. They supported us in delivering our goals during every step and they always had a solution for each of our requirements.
What do you dislike?
There are not many Bulk actions available (bulk assigments, bulk updates of courses) Actions related to departments/groups are limited
Absorb is a great program with ecellent onboarding support.

What do you like best?
I like that we can import content we already have from another LMS, as well as from PPTs. Additionally , it's easy to develop content for classes rather easily from scratch. It feels like they've already thought of everything.
What do you dislike?
While everything in the system is pretty straightforward, as with all new software, there is definitely a learning curve. I've really appreciated their onboarding training system to guide our team through the tricky stuff. Unlike other software we've recently purchased for our office, this onboarding training was included in the purchase cost. That has been great.
Amazing Organization and implementation process from the Absorb team!

What do you like best?
I love that the software is very user-friendly and can accommodate all our company's needs for an LMS.
What do you dislike?
There's not much I dislike, there's a few things I learned throughout implementation that I probably wont use but it's great to know for later use!
This LMS has a wonderful UX and awesome admin side.

What do you like best?
Absorb LMS is extremely user friendly! It was a breeze to upload courses, create and schedule reports, create users, and much more! If you're looking for a great investment in learning at your company and want a highly engaged and friendly staff at Absorb to help you do it, Absorb LMS is the right choice!
What do you dislike?
Absorb LMS is a powerful software! It allows you the opportunity to customize a lot of features (e.g., messages, reports, portals for different audiences, etc.). With most of these features, Absorb has curated help documents but some are a bit lacking or don't exist yet. They are responsive to feedback and do update these documents often, so I'm sure they're coming!
I think the Absorb LMS is a great tool for the leaning and development team.

What do you like best?
Absorb is easy to learn and set up with a fantastic Absorb team to help you in every step of the way.
What do you dislike?
Not much I don't like. Keep up the great work. If I had to say one thing maybe doing more smaller system improvements would keep clients more engaged.
An LMS with just enough features to not overwhelm with a great Admin side.
Nov 27, 2023
What do you like best?
Admin side is very easy to use. Absorb offers a lot of support to ensure success. I have worked with a few different LMS' - ones with very little features to ones that have a sea of features that you get lost in. Absorb offers just the right number of features and functionality that is straight forward and labelled for ease of use.
What do you dislike?
So far I have not experienced any downside to the platform. I am sure that as we fully implement over the coming months we will have some though I believe their "ideas" section is actioned quite regularly with new releases as a means to continuously improve.
Absorb is an approachable, quality LMS with a number of useful features.

What do you like best?
The templates for content creation offer built-in structural options with lots of customization at the same time. The number of animations and transitions strikes the balance of being engaging and interesting without getting distracting.
What do you dislike?
The functionality of embedded video hasn't been perfectly seamless in some of our content creation, but improvements are constantly being implemented, so it is a minimal concern.
The LMS with a great UX and has a great admin side.
Nov 17, 2023
What do you like best?
The way the administration side is organized (very easy to learn & use daily) + the service is really great. I always have great support from my Absorb team, and I love that I can create content in-house using Absorb Create.
What do you dislike?
I would like to see some functions even further developed so they would be even more tailor made for our company, specifically accessibility (translations, captioning, etc.) That being said, an LMS is a work in progress and the Absorb development teams works really hard to improve.
