What do you like best about Absorb LMS?

I have rolled out many different LMS's in my career and I would say that Absorb is the best of the 'top tier' LMS's

From engagement with the sales team through to deployment in a multinational it has been the most assisted and guided LMS rollout I have done

Absorb hits the sweet spot between the platform being customisable but still really intuative Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Absorb LMS?

The cost of rollouts of LMSs is always a bit of a mystery for me - paying set up costs PLUS integrated API costs PLUS platform costs PLUS all the other costs is always confusing and when you compare to the lower end of the LMS scale I do question how much of this is just straight to the companies profit margin

The support is very disappointing when it is a problem that doesn't appear within their academy - if you start to poke holes or talk about the limitations of the platform the team get very defensive

Any problems with the API into other systems take ages to sort out and the support team get very passive aggressive in their response

The search function in the course library is limited which is not great if you use another parties library Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Absorb LMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The usual multinational company scalability, sustainability and engagement of training BUT this platform is very engaging and the list of API's means that it slots in with our HRIS and some other platforms that we run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
