Learning made easy and support unmatched! We love our CSM!
Nov 3, 2023
What do you like best?
Our support system is unmatched to any other system I work with. Our CSM always responds right away when we have questions and with the exact information we need and usually a recommendation of best practices. This year we updated both to the new admin and learner portals, and where we prepared to have a big adjustment, we didn't! The new interfaces are easy to use and our learners think so too!
What do you dislike?
As we implement new parts of the interface (billboards, posters, etc) we have seen provided resources that aren't always correct and have to adjust asset sizes because of this, but once we learned what we needed to do, it was easy to implement, and our CSM made it easy for us to do this in the best ways possible.
The LMS with a great UX and has a great admin side.
Nov 2, 2023
What do you like best?
The way the administration side is organized (very easy to learn & use daily) + the service is really great. One of my favorite things about Absorb is the priority of continuous improvement. I appreciate working with our Client Success Manager to learn about new updates and how to implement the system in a way that is best for our organizational needs. I also appreciate how well Absorbs working with our other authoring systems and resources.
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. That being said, an LMS is a work in progress and the Absorb development teams works really hard to improve. Communication of LMS updates (what has been updated and when) could be better though.
We have really loved Absorb and found it extremely helpful once we integrated it into our business.

What do you like best?
The ability to customize our trainings and the support team has been amazing. Our sales process to onboarding was flawless.
What do you dislike?
The one thing we would like to see is a better Google Hangout integration so we can do live calls that are recorded and have them synced directly with our calendar.
Absorb LMS is a great solution for organizing all your training in one handy place!
Oct 30, 2023
What do you like best?
Absorb LMS is very user friendly and allows me to create engaging trainings, check on the enrollment status at any point, send reminders, etc. Our implementation specialist, May, was great to work with as well!
What do you dislike?
The only thing I can think of is to have more rollup team reporting so I can easily see a "scorecard" for my entire team, in one place.
End-user friendly, easy to onboard Admins, good for many devices.
Oct 23, 2023
What do you like best?
I like that most users have no problems navigating in the Absorb LMS and I appreciate the customer support and ideas portal. It feels collaborative working with this vendor.
What do you dislike?
That I cannot generate a report on multiple curricula. However, I feel like there is a lot of roadmap activity and good response to ideas so I am hopeful that will be addressed.
Absorb LMS is overall modern, flexible and versatile
Aug 15, 2023
What do you like best?
The admin side is very flexible and versatile once you understand what it is capable of. It may take some training to iron out the details, but once you get it, it is capable of a lot.
What do you dislike?
I would like to see mutli-course reports become a standard in the reporting capabilities. That being said, it is on their roadmap and the Absorb development team is actively working on multiple solutions at a time which is supported by their ideas portal.
Great Learning Management System with AMAZING CRMs!
Aug 11, 2023
What do you like best?
The system is extremely robust and easy to use. They have an amazingly friendly customer service team, while the speed of launching your course is phenomenal.
What do you dislike?
There are no negatives to report. Apart from their customer support team, we also worked with a Project Manager and an account executive and they were all so friendly and helpful.
A Very Nice LMS that just keeps getting better and better!

What do you dislike?
I still haven't find anything that I wouldn't like about this company they are amazing and should keep up the good work!
An LMS with excellent customizability, beautiful UI
Jul 12, 2023
What do you like best?
The customizability and flexibility of the system out-of-the-box is great, plus the addition of additional technical features such as API, scheduled data imports, etc. really expand its capabilities to be a custom fit for us. There's not much I can think of that Absorb cannot do as an LMS! And their support team always has great ideas, is extremely responsive, and pleasant to work with. The support we've received from the Absorb team is fantastic - always going above and beyond.
What do you dislike?
My company would like to really utilize more social capabilities of the platform, i.e. communities of practice and increased learner interactions. That being said, the Absorb team is always coming out with new features and improvements that I'm really excited about, so really interested to see what comes down the pipeline.
An effective LMS for Learning and Development shops of any size.
Jun 30, 2023
What do you like best?
Absorb's admin UI makes deploying and assigning training easy. As a first time user, it was immediately clear how to upload a course, make it available, and assign it to users. Because we are a smaller organization, I'm not in Absorb every day, but there's never a need to refamiliarize myself with the layout. Bright colors, big buttons, Navigation on the left, do stuff buttons on the right - it's visually friendly.
What do you dislike?
I think there's a miss not having a quick search bar in the Users and Courses screens in the admin panel. When you've got 15 pages or more worth of users, trying to find out if someone in the M's finished their new-hire training can be a few clicks too many.
