Absorb LMS Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Absorb LMS is how easy it is to use. The interface is intuitive, making it simple for both admins and learners to navigate. I also appreciate the strong reporting tools and automation features that help streamline training management, save time, and create a better overall learning experience. Additionally, the customer service we receive is outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couple things: 1. allowing more admins to have access to the MANAGER area with direct reports. 2. more AI help, which I know is coming with Aura. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the client support team - whenever I have a question, my support team is only an email or Teams call away. The UI in the learner experience is simple and customizable, giving us the flexibility we need to guide our learners to our content. I love that we can automate the assignment of onboarding, and I also love the smart search tool inside the admin experience. It predicts what I'm looking for and helps refine my search results to save me time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb is missing some basic functionality, especially inside the manager experience. For example, managers (without access to the clunky Admin experience) can't print a simple sheet of overdues, and admins have no control over the look and feel of the manager experience. Reporting is automated, but can't be customized, which is disappointing. Additionally, the Admin experience is overly complicated and difficult to navigate. Finally, some important features of the LMS (like "course equivalency") are confusing or not actually useful. I sometimes wonder what business needs Absorb intended to meet with their LMS design.

I really enjoy the ability to customize the admin experience and the ability to export reports for tracking purposes. Absorb LMS allows us to have stronger reporting capabilities, higher-level customization, and gives the user an interface that feels more elevated and developed. I often need to keep track of course completion, and from Absorb, I can export reports with data that can be used to confirm completion through tracking documents like in Excel.

There is a learning curve to the platform, and when we transitioned to Absorb LMS, the process was laborious and really impacted our productivity. Errors occurred which added stress and labor, setting us back and affecting our business flow. The extensive infrastructure required for advanced features can be overwhelming, especially for smaller or mid-sized businesses, creating high workload demand and cognitive overload. The initial setup wasn't easy; we needed to be Excel experts to convert data for integration, which added difficulty since our IT department couldn't be dedicated to this task.

Absorb provides a great experience for our learners - with the ability to present the right courses/content to the right people. We have over 20,000 learners - so user experience is vital, and we always get great feedback on our courses! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin interface is sometimes a little clunky, and takes multiple clicks/actions to complete tasks. There's not many bulk actions, which is difficult when you have hundreds of courses to manage. Reports can be hard to create and understand, often many data points are unavilable (in the basic reporting module). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is incredibly easy to use and feels intuitive for both administrators and staff. It has made a huge difference in how we deliver training across the organisation, helping us streamline learning, boost engagement, and manage everything much more efficiently overall.

I’d also like to give a big shout-out to Luke Valentine for his ongoing support and guidance. He helped us get the system up and running and, once it was implemented, spent time with us to make sure we’re getting the most from Absorb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one minor glitch so far: I was able to publish the same course twice. It would be helpful if Absorb flagged that it had already been published. Not a major issue, but definitely something to consider for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Absorb LMS platform is very easy to set up and use with an extensive suite of online tutorials and training videos to help. We had not used an LMS previously but found the process nice and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a few minor technical issues that we couldn't work out on our own when designing our courses. With the support of Cliodhna and the team these were qucikly rectified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, Absorb LMS combines powerful functionality with exceptional customer support. Its flexibility, ease of use, and commitment to customer success make it a valuable partner for organizations seeking an effective and scalable learning management solution. I highly recommend Absorb LMS to anyone looking for a platform that supports both compliance needs and meaningful learning outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because Absorb is so customizable, there can be a slight learning curve for administrators as they become familiar with the many configuration options available. However, that learning curve is minimal and well worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can create our own training courses, upload existing courses, and keep everything housed in one central location for our different companies. It has saved time across our organizations, since we no longer have to sit in a room and conduct in-person training just to meet compliance requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the customization of each page could be more clear. I feel it's not so straightforward in customization. I have to customize differently for each organization so wish that was a bit easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the look and navigation of Absorb LMS, which makes it easy for our technicians, who may not be very proficient with technology, to navigate the platform and enroll in training. I appreciate how Absorb LMS has adapted over time with continuous improvements, addressing a lot of our initial limitations. The excellent reporting and data outputs are extremely essential to our internal reporting processes, adding a lot of value to how we communicate training outcomes and requirements.

I feel Absorb LMS needs more flexibility, especially with settings and filters. It often feels like I'm stuck with black and white, yes or no options for things like data refinement. Also, I wish I could break down widgets for more detailed information. Sometimes the logic in the backend doesn't make sense to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how customisable the learner dashboard it, it can fit whatever aesthetic you like. I like the AI quiz function too - a suitable use for AI in my opinion, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
