Absorb LMS Reviews & Product Details

There are components that have greatly improved from prior LMS-like systems we have used previously. Absorb is easy for users to navigate and is intuitive to the user. The Create function in combination with buying the Amplify content has given us the opportunity to train, develop, and engage multiple roles in our organization. We have an HCM integration with ADP and the automatic and quick flow of information regarding status and job titles has taken care of a lot of what was previously manual work. The reporting functions are also better than previous system, and everyone from admins to managers like having that information.

I also love the addition of the AI tool in Create. It does allow a quicker turnaround on some trainings I have made for our users. I have also receieved feedback that the AI voiceover feature really enhances our trainings that are heavily information slides.

We also have Client Success Manager, Stephanie Berry, who has assisted us since going live with Absorb and has done an excellent job. She is very timely in being responsive and available and will either provide an answer or direct us to the correct place to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limitations to reporting specific to our organization. I would also like the HCM integration to continue to improve overtime to sync other pieces of information, such as Reviewer roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the look of Absorb and how customizable the features are. There are so many things to add and do - you'll truly never run out of options! I also love how responsive the customer support is. Being able to meet with our rep bi-weekly to learn about new features and ask questions has been invaluable.

My one major complaint is that the backend of Absorb is incredibly manual. There are a lot of features that are great but take a long time to figure out and click through. The Absorb Amplify Max catalog is incredibly expansive, but it can feel overwhelming. I'd love to see more new features that help with minimizing the time it takes to run reports, roll out new courses, and catagorize trainings. The helpful thing is that the customer support takes note on things the customers dislike, and they actually work to implement changes! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb has a clean, intuitive navigation for the user and the admin, both. There are ways to do almost anything you would need to do to provide courses and curriculum to groups of people. The customization is really helpful and robust, with each toggle and option clearly describing the outcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any big things I dislike about Absorb. Little things we noticed shortly after implementation have been addressed with updates and new feature releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the Admin UX/UI and capabilities. As well, the Learner experience is easy-to-navigate and minimalist in design (but not boring or plain). I really enjoy the customization in look and feel that Admins have over the LMS. The automation abilities are excellent also.

The support and employees from Absorb that my team has worked with have all been excellent. It has made our implementation process and current maintanence/scaling of Absorb has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the reporting tools in Absorb were just a bit more robust. Absorb Analyze Essentials is a good tool, but with a bit more scope/capabilities, it could be excellent. A missing feature in Absorb that I would love to see is the ability to quickly enroll multiple people in course without needing to use tags on the users' accounts (like department, job title, etc.). I wish it was easier to just have a list of usernames and to quickly enroll that group in 1+ courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Utilizing the LMS system, our team has been able to add external learners to our system to streamline a process for early learnin professionals to engage to engage in a self directed professional developmetn path. It has also help centralize the onboarding and Professional development tracking for internal staff. Flexibility in languages available for user navigation is also helpful.

Sometimes it is confusing for managers to jump between admin experience and manager experiencies when wanting to manage course uploads associated with checklists. Both areas need to be visited to approve items individually. It would be helpful if managers could navigate that all in one place for the purposes of a streamline onboard and staff management experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer support and the approach from ealry begining to the end of the emplementation. The integration, from all the pairs at Absorb were very well informed about their products and showed more than proper efficiency. Our company were sold from the begining on the addition Absorb can bring to our company.

The platform is super straight forward and super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not have anything I disliked, I was a fully satisfaction from begining to today! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Absorb LMS is so user-friendly and easy to customize for your needs. You get a ton of support while switching over, and you master the system very quickly. The reporting is exceptionally easy and accurate. The customer support is heads and tails above the last LMS we used. You get an answer from your service rep so quickly that you are often able to figure everything out the same day. They also actively improve the platform based on feedback instead of asking for it then ignoring it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like a few more options on mass imports of users. Specifically being able to change the supervisor of everyone at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support from Absorb is fantastic. The platform is intuitive and easy to set-up and simple for learners to navigate. Really appreciate the support we receive. Very happy with our choice of Absorb as our e-Learning partner. Also like the Ideas Portal and Quarterly learning sessions. Many great ideas have come from attending.

It would helpful is the platform was a little more flexible. in design and set-up. Although not a problem, we do have to use work arounds at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The process for selecting the right LMS for our organization was daunting and felt like it would never end! However, from our very first interaction with Absorb to the recent successful launch of our LMS, the entire experience was easy and enjoyable. The entire Absorb team (sales, project coordinator, implementation specialist, help desk, etc) consistently showed a high level of professionalism, accessibility, and willingness to assist. Their implementation process, including weekly training sessions, made the transition smooth and easy. Absorb’s incredible features and endless customization options have really enhanced our organization's ability to create training content (we just using PowerPoint prior to this), generate reports (was exclusively Excel prior to the LMS), manage assignments, and oversee system administration functions. We are beyond happy with our choice of Absorb and are eager to recommend this LMS to others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a small, grant-funded organization, the cost initially presented a significant challenge. However, after thoroughly exploring the functionality and benefits the LMS could bring to our training department, the decision became clear. Absorb greatly outranked the other LMS companies we met with. While the price is higher compared to other systems we looked at, the value it delivers more than justifies the investment. One of the primary challenges we face is the lack of learning libraries that align with both our needs and budget, which has required us to develop all training content from scratch. This remains a notable obstacle for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, huge amount of features that can enable positive learning for staff, excellent implementation support with someone who has tremendous knowledge of the system and is able to answer all our questions. The customisation of the system is also excellent, to make it look and feel like our own rather than a generic system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some elements we would like to customise are things that we have to work around rather than customise directly but these are small niggles in an otherwise excellent system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
