  • 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.

  • 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? The way you can build curriculum and courses, and create the learner dashboard. Easy to comprehend for learners. I like the way communication methods can be integrated, and extra functionality like on-the-job assessments can be integrated. By assigning roles you can create a great integrated professional training platform for employees.
What do you dislike? Very dependent on other licenses (Create etc.) for content creation. Not that flexible with other imports, or you need additonal licenses (like Articulate). Experienced some difficulties with using the SSO options, to embed it in the clients IT infrastructure.

What do you like best? The simplicity and how easy the system is to use. You can navigate easily within the system and functionalities exist exactly where they should; Both from a user and administrative standpoint.
What do you dislike? That some functions can't be automatically and requires manual work. For example, having to update course completion dates, after approving a course upload, the date should reflect the dates entered in the course upload.

What do you like best? Our support from Claire, our Client Success Manager, is outstanding as she is very responsive! Absorb is feature-rich with many capabilities from an Admin perspective, giving me many tools and abilities to assist and customize users, curriculums, courses, and content. Absorb is also very customizable, from the landing page to enrollments, courses, messages, notifications, and much more. Building courses, uploading files, and editing user fields, are all very beneficial to our organization.
What do you dislike? Absorb is incredibly feature-rich and customizable, but we need exclusion rules for course auto-enrollments. As our Absorb admin, I came from an entirely new LMS system and had to learn a lot to confidently understand it. While Absorb offers a lot of online articles/content to help guide your learning and how to use it, much of my learning was by "doing" with trial and error. Someone who is not tech-savvy could struggle to learn it quickly.

What do you like best? Intuitive user and admin experience. Robust customization available for any type of program you'd like to implement. Responsive support and feedback to client-provided feature requests.
What do you dislike? The Analyze dashboard feature is not intuitive for the metrics we would like to work with - not very many tutorials. The purchase came with some hours of Professional Services, but it was difficult to use the services.

What do you like best? It is very user-friendly for both users and admins. As enterprise admins, we quickly learned the LMS and taught our supporting teams how to use it. Learners took well to the LMS, and we saw an uptick in learner engagement and usage compared to our former LMS.
What do you dislike? It would be great if reporting were more accessible and streamlined without purchasing more integrations.

What do you like best? Absorb has created a straightforward product to build courses with many customization options. It is easy to pull data such as completion rates and user logins to track LMS user implementation. The Create feature offers a super easy way to build courses for users with very little background in websites. Having a CSM like Olga who is dedicated to our businesses success helps us to recognize gaps, provide best practices and take our virtual and in-person learning to the next level.
What do you dislike? Some features have not been developed yet like integrating reminders to text messages but we are able to add them to a list for their development team to review and potentially build in the future.
