Verified User in E-Learning

Lots of recent polls show that companies don't like their learning management system. The reason is that most LMS's are too complex, steep learning curve, not very flexible, often they have too many features that are not used. Absorb LMS has a good balance...

Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness

Some features within the administrative side of the software can be cumbersome to use. A few features take extra steps that seem unnecessary and slow admin users down. The use of filters to drill down in data exists but using them can feel cumbersome.

LearnUpon is very user-friendly, both from a manager/admin standpoint, and a user/learner standpoint. Creating courses is easy, and going through a course/learning path is simple and self explantory.

Lack of personalization Lack of integrations Ultimately, it's a visually unappealing LMS with no special features that separate it from the rest.
