Absorb LMS Reviews & Product Details

Very easy to use overall. Especially if building in-house material. Like the option of taking existing PowerPoints and making them into training, or being able to take a PDF and let the AI build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s not really a dislike; like anything else, every software or platform has a “box” where it works best. For me, the challenge is taking manufacturer or other certifications that were completed outside of Absorb and getting them into a user’s profile.

The workaround I’ve found is a bit clunky and time-consuming: I have to create an “on-line course” and label it for what it is, upload the PDF certification into that course, enroll the user, and then edit the enrollment so the certification shows up in the user profile. The other issue is creating our own company-logo certifications—this process also feels very clunky within Absorb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Absorb LMS is user-friendly, well-organized, and easy to navigate. It makes accessing training materials, tracking progress, and completing courses simple and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, navigating through certain features can be a little confusing, and finding specific courses or information could be easier. Improving the search functionality and simplifying some processes would make the overall learning experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is very easy to understand, both in the learner experience and on the admin side, so we were up and operational much faster than we expected. Support and implementation were incredibly helpful, with a dedicated Implementation Project Manager who guided us through everything step by step.

The AI functionality for content creation has been a game changer, helping ensure all of our content looks professional and aligns with our brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn’t much to like about Absorb LMS, especially since the community can submit recommendations to the developers for changes customers actually want to see. Perhaps a limitation on technical functionality with role creation per department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Absorb LMS is a very robust LMS; almost everything is possible with it. I find the Absorb course section particularly valuable because I can easily upload my courses. The user management and department overview are quite easy to handle. Features like "analyze" and "create," which allow us to create our own courses supported by AI, are pretty valuable. The "analyze" features help us provide important statistics about how courses are viewed, which is a valuable metric for us. The "create" feature allows us to create new courses from our library easily. The "department overview" allows for creating internal and external departments with multiple dashboards, making it easy to cater to a large user group on one platform. Additionally, the initial setup was quite easy; we just imported the user data and had a library of courses available, working perfectly from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the create section could be better augmented with AI because there's so much potential with AI in terms of generation. Absorb needs to join the race in that area. Also, learning the LMS features, especially from the admin side, has a bit of a learning curve. You have to invest time to learn and experiment with those features to see how they react in live scenarios. If this learning curve could be reduced, onboarding would be quite easier.

I love how user-friendly Absorb LMS is. I recently had two new team members join our team, and they have been able to jump in easily. The Absorb Academy is amazing and a great way for new team members to use the system. The ease of use means they didn't require much training to begin using Absorb. Our Client Success Manager, Jason, has been exceptional to work with! Moreover, Absorb presented as user-friendly and capable of supporting both internal employees and external agents. The initial setup of Absorb LMS was very easy, and the team that walked us through the process was very supportive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could see the calendar responses when we automatically enroll someone in an ILC session. That would be helpful for tracking and even for courses that had a limit on attendance. I would love an AI overlay on the Absorb Analyze to help build the dashboards. Also, if we had more control on who could get notified after courses/curriculum are completed. If we could set specific people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb LMS has been easy to learn and implement, and it's straightforward to coach others through the platform. We have been able to integrate it quickly into our training process to ensure we adhere to compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes classes are very similar so when you have only 100 classes to add to your system you will add two classes that cover the same topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that learners can see their own certificates. It gives them a sense of accomplishment and accountability. I also like the reporting aspect and being able to produce a number of different reports as required from different departments within the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As we are using it currently from an admin perspective at present, there are some nuances we have to consider, for example 're-enrolling' users on courses, not just enrolling them on a future session date. Also, it would be great if course uploads did not override as we needed to create several courses per year due to the company needing to retain older certs. For example a person completed a course in 2022, their cert expires in 2026, if they upload a new cert in 2026 to the same course, the second cert overrides the first cert and we lose the person's first cert.

I use Absorb LMS to manage and track our company's online courses and in-person training. I really like the ability to customize the user interface, which gives our dashboard a personalized appearance. Support is excellent with timely responses, which was especially valuable during the onboarding transition, making it easier to navigate and learn. Our Absorb contact, Gesa Cole, does a great job maintaining an open line of communication with frequent meetings. It was very easy to set up Absorb LMS thanks to the support we received.

There are some minor feature implementations that we would benefit greatly from, specifically with regard to course cancellation behavior, waitlisting, and being able to assign specific permissions to a manager role to prevent managers from approving enrollments. Most importantly, pricing and costs could be more competitive, especially with newer features like Localization. We have had to explore other options for Localization because the cost is just too high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Onboarding Team, the user interface, and the ADP Connector have been the best parts of our experience with Absorb. This has been one of the smoothest implementations we’ve been a part of, from start to finish. The team was extremely responsive and consistently able to answer any questions we had along the way. The AI Creator tool has also been very helpful for creating training content, and the pre-made course library is a great added benefit. Overall, our experience has been amazing, and we would definitely recommend this product to other teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, we haven’t come across anything we dislike about this product. Everything works quickly and exactly as it’s supposed to. Our connection with ADP is seamless, and employee information updates as soon as changes are made in WorkforceNow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The admin side was straightforward, and the onboarding journey was clearly laid out. Our project manager explained everything thoroughly and connected us with the right people whenever we needed additional help. Aura is a useful AI tool when we are stuck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like it when you change the enrollment rules, because it doesn’t automatically update the enrollment for current employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
