"Customizable, Easy-to-Integrate LMS That Saves Us Hours Each Week"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

the Absorb roadmap of features has helped the team visualize it to plan around new concepts we develop. The groups helped us save hours each week in enrolling users. The full customization of the system and easy integration with different platforms gives it an edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

It lacks a bulk upload option from Excel for enrolling or selecting specific users. It’s also not very retail-industry frontliner-friendly yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transforms In-Person Training to Seamless Online"
5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

I like that with Absorb LMS, we can see the real-time progress of staff in a certain course. It's also great that many of our face-to-face trainings are now delivered online, allowing staff to complete courses from the comfort of their own space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

I would like to recommend a notification procedure where the respective admins get notified through a system generated email that a new set of content been created and delivered into the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Training and Compliance Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

I really like the interface of Absorb LMS; it's easy to use and allows me to create and publish content quickly. I appreciate its flexibility and the user experience, as well as the detailed reporting which meets our needs for audits. I also like that we can stay up to date compliance-wise and provide annual training reports. The ease of setup was a definite plus, as it was very easy. Absorb LMS allows for upskilling and continuous education, which is essential for our internal training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

I would like to see the create tool be exportable so that we could use the training that we create since it is technically our intellectual property. We'd like to be able to export it and save it so that if in the future we ever needed to transfer it to another service, we could do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Appreciation for Dave and an LMS that helps us meet and expand upon our education goals"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

The Absorb LMS has continued to be an easy-to-use but powerful tool to create educational content for our key partners and stakeholders, meeting a range of needs and requirements. We work directly with Dave Mullan, who has continuously provided timely and quality help for myself as the lead and our organization. Dave has helped us troubleshoot issues, ensure efficiency, and has kept us up to date and has demonstrated and suggested functions as Absorb rolls out new features.

As we look to expand our offerings further, Dave has helped strategize for the best approach, which has helped our workflow and the end-user experience.

Dave has always been patient and helpful in getting and keeping us on the right track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

As we continue to expand education there have been a few instances where functions were limited or not available.

In these instances, Dave has been responsive about capabilities and options, and has helped troubleshoot and shared feedback with his team to work on solutions. As an example, I very much appreciate the ability to use AI voices as part of our trainings, but there are instances where medical language is mispronounced. There have also been some instances where the functionality of quiz questions have not worked or resulted in errors.

There are a few instances such as the aforementioned that can be improved, and as my team continues to evolve and improve, I appreciate that Dave and the Absorb team are doing so as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust User Friendly LMS option"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

This LMS is incredibly user friendly for Admins and Leaners alike. As an admin, you are able to manage courses, users, and resources without robust onboarding/training.

Absorb is dilligent about informing Admins of changes in a timely manner, so whether you use the system daily or only sign in quarterly, you can rest assured you'' be up to date on the latest changes.

The Customer Support Managers and Account Managers take the time to know their clients by name, understand their use case, and provide guidance from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

While most support requests recieve a timely response; glitches that need developer involvement can take a while to fix, since they require time to find the cause of the issue and appropriate fix.

As with most LMS, this was built with internal customers as the primary focus. Using Absorb LMS for external clients can require creativitiy at times. The CSMs are incredibly helpful in these instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absorb LMS Delivers a True WYSIWYG Experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

Absorb LMS has relieved all the pain points I’ve run into with other learning systems. It offers a true “what you see is what you get” experience, with straightforward reporting and updates built right into the screens I use regularly, rather than forcing me to learn how to manipulate data through complicated reporting interfaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

I’d like to see more dynamic, easier-to-manage templates for the learner dashboard. Right now, the containers feel clunky and hard to work with. I’d also love more customization options, similar to the dynamic sections and pages in a more recent SharePoint update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Data-Driven Analysis to Support Employee Engagement and Learning"
5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

The Customer Service at Absorb has been invaluable as we continue to improve and expand our LMS. Our CSM Billy Emig deserves a specific shout-out. He meets with us weekly and helps us brainstorm, problem-solve, and customize the LMS for our unique needs. He is truly invested in our success and is a valued team member.

The analytics built in with Analyze Essentials and the BI through Absorb Amplify help us see success metrics in real-time and make data-driven, informed decisions for growth and improvement of our platform and for our workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Dashboard and Easy Course Creation, Backed by Helpful Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

The feature I like most is the dashboard. I also appreciate being able to create and add training courses for my team. I enjoy working with my representative on the system, as she has been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

What I dislike most about Absorb is that, when I try to use the General Manager Experience dashboard, it doesn’t currently auto-populate team members (staff) under the GM. Instead, the information has to be entered manually each time a new team member is created. While the functionality is available, it still requires the GM to add each user individually, which can be time-consuming. That said, this can be done by using the GM role setting to add current location members as team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great UX, Powerful Reporting, and Responsive Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

The UX experience is great. Learners have clear visibility into their courses and materials, which makes it easy to find what they need. Reporting is also really useful, since we can download a lot of detailed information and data to help us make the best decisions regarding the platform. The service provided by the Absorb POCs and Support Team is great as well; they are always open, responsive, and available to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

The process of updating users can be very manual. Also, the features included in Absorb Create—such as the AI training materials—aren’t as good as I expected, so we usually end up using other tools outside the platform for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Platform with Exceptionally Fast Implementation and Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

I have found Absorb to be extremely intuitive for both end users and admin. This has helped greatly with our internal implementation of the platform. From an admin and set-up perspective i have been very impressed with the speed of implementation, Absorb worked to some incredibly tight deadline to allow us to transition from our old supplier with no lose of service for our employees. The level of support we had through this process from Luke was exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

This may be a setup issue, but when I add Absorb modules from the library, they become visible to users on their primary dashboard. This can look confusing, especially when they’re blended in with mandatory modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
