Pros
  • Ease of Use & Navigation Multiple reviewers explicitly note that Absorb LMS is easy to use for both administrators and learners, with a clear and intuitive interface that minimizes the need for extensive training.
  • Customer Support & Service Users frequently praise the responsiveness and quality of support, including Client Success Managers and online support resources that help resolve issues quickly.
  • Feature Set & Functionality Reviews highlight useful features such as automated enrollments, integrated content creation tools (e.g., Absorb Create), and customization options that support diverse learning workflows.
  • Performance & Reliability Many users report that the platform is stable, reliable, and supports smooth everyday use for training and learning delivery
  • Implementation & Onboarding Several reviewers mention that setting up the system is straightforward, with good help during implementation and relatively quick time to launch.
Cons
  • Limited Features / Missing Tools Some users feel that certain features are missing or could be improved, such as extended options for enrollment workflows or more robust course planning functions.
  • Reporting & Analytics Issues A segment of reviewers want more powerful or flexible reporting—some noted limitations in exporting detailed data and generating complex report structures.
  • Customization Limitations Although customization is generally good, a few users said that deeper customization (especially custom coding or advanced design control) is lacking compared with more technical platforms.
  • Complexity & Learning Curve (Advanced Use) Some reviews suggest that the broader feature set and configuration options can feel overwhelming at first before users become fully confident.
  • Integration or Functional Quirks A minority of reviewers note specific functional limitations (e.g., hierarchical management issues, session enrollment steps, or integration gaps) that cause occasional friction in workflow execution.

What do you like best? Easy to use, great customer support and easy certification program creation. I also like the fact that we customize our brand.
What do you dislike? Takes quite some time to get used to how the system generates reports, but other than that all good. We are very pleased with our selection.

What do you like best? The data grids and all the features tied to them. I've set up many data grid views depending on what I am looking for.
What do you dislike? When creating a new course, I need to click buttons at the bottom to get additional settings, but do not need to click all the buttons. I wish there was a way to default to showing only the buttons and settings I need.

What do you like best? The way the admin side is organised (very eay to learn & use daily) + the service is really really great.
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.

What do you like best? Easy to use, great user interface and lot of customization options. Reporting is decent but was quite buggy at first.
What do you dislike? The only issue we have encountered so far is that we cannot integrate Absorb LMS with our HRIS, but I heard it's coming soon.
