Absorb LMS Reviews - Page 5

The ease of use. From the administration side to the Learner Experience, the system is very user friendly and easy to follow. The creation side provides the agility to create course and materials for a variety of needs

Missing some way to capture attendance digitally. For instance, on Instructor Led Courses a user could access the course and mark their own attendance rather than having an administrator have to complete it manually for each class.

Ease of use. Everything is easy to find and the options make sense.

When bugs are introduced, they don't always get fixed very quickly.

Courses run more smoothly for our users than our previous platform.

The standard reporting leaves a lot to be desired.

The deployment plan is well defined and easy to followIt's easy to get answers to our questions; if the project lead does not know, there are always experts available to helpEach step of the deployment plan comes with a scoping call, then follow-up calls and actionsA sandbox environment is made available help us get our hands in the platform right from the startThe software itself is easy to use, all fields are well documented in the app and the support pages are super clear.

The fact that we need the help of Absorb to proceed with batch imports is the major downside for us.

This software is very user friendly to the administrators and to the users.

This software does not currently integrate with the company's HRIS (due to the HRIS being outdated).

Both the front end and back end are easy to use and navigate.

How a person can only be attached to one department with one email address.

In our search for a LMS we had an opportunity to look at many of Absorb's competitors and it became very clear, very quickly how easy it was to navigate the system for both the end user and the administrator. Along with ease of use, each window is crisply design to feel innovative and supportive.

There were so many options for how to use Absorb to move our e-learning products and on-line learning, we had difficulty deciding where to start, because we wanted to do everything in the first month.

The platform is well crafted, providing options for just about everything I needed. Whenever I had a need, there was a way to get it done.

The mobile app needs some work. Other than that, everything worked very well.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

Clean interface. It's navigable and easy-to-use.

We had a little hiccup with uploading hundreds of users who were all in different departments. It required us to upload a spreadsheet per department (about 12) instead of uploading one spreadsheet and having the system parse the groups. I think this is a fairly rare circumstance though (either you are a small group and it doesn't matter or you are a big group and you have an API). Added an extra 2 hours of work - not a big deal. Otherwise the user-upload interface is very effective.

It has the ability to encourage learning on the go and remotely, with extensive and versatile training options for staff. It is a very versatile and flexible platform that has everything you need to ensure that corporate learning takes place at an excellent level. It provides high-quality third-party integrations to use content created in another application.

It has excellent customization options, although for new users it can be a challenge to use them.

Blatant Media developed such a forward thinking interface that it hasn't needed a refresh the last few years. This is a positive, not a negative. I've been both an admin and a user of the system and it's really nice to know everything is going to be laid out the same even after not using it for a few months. Very future proof. The responsive capabilities of the user end are really top-notch as well. Great for blended learning as well as complete "eLearning."

Support is just okay. I think they outsource their support and it's not always super efficient.

We have been using Absorb LMS for 4+ years. The product is excellent and the Absorb team is very cooperative in working with us to customize the LMS for our unique needs. It has evolved into a collaborative partnership, rather than a typical vendor-client relationship. We have users around the world, and the user-side LMS has proven to be stable and easy to use. The admin-side has a wide range of features, and it is relatively easy for people to learn the basics. We use the LMS to deliver classroom courses, e-learning and bundles. We have established special access roles for instructors which has streamlined operations. Absorb is releasing a major upgrade which we are testing. The upgrade adds great features, and we are eager to migrate to the new version.

We provide our clients with very specific project tracking and reporting functions that have become part of our competitive advantage. These functions go beyond the capabilities of the Absorb LMS and the needs of typical LMS users. We have had to develop customized modules that import data from the LMS.

The ability to create your own courses and pull in outside courses as well.

With every software there are things that could be updated. It's the nature of the technology beast. But being able to edit an employees profile and see their course data all in one area would be better than having to go into separate areas.

Intuitive, slick interfaces on both the front and back end. Easy to use and administer. User experience was fantastic. Highly responsive team addressing any concerns or issues.

Any cons that we ran into were dealt with in short order, and we were a relatively small client! Great customer support made this a dream process.

I've used it for many years for continuing education and for new hire training. Its always been easy to use and it seems to get better all the time It actually surprises me when I see a new feature. It's free for the learner, so I have nothing on price points.

I have never had an issue with the product and I have never had to use any support advice. I have only used it internally with a company I am contracted with. I use it to train or do my continuing ed for the companies they put me with. With each training session, I have found no issues.

The ease of the set up, building of the platform, and the support received from our Absorb Team.

There were a few snags in the process that pertained to our custom use of the platform. However, those issues were quickly addressed and solutions were offered by the team.

I love the ease of access with everything in absorb. The customer service is best in class, and there are always resources available to support.

Would love more in depth trainings for daily users.

Support from the company is great and always willing to improve features and design. They really listen to their customers.

You can't pull reports for instructor-led classes and online classes at the same time for a total picture.

Absorb allows my company to track our customer learning progress to see if they are taking time outside our account manager meetings. It prevents repetitive meetings reviewing the same feature numerous times because customers need time to review topics.

It takes time to set up, but you get out what you put into any product.

The built in workflow allows me to create a course that can be distributed to my users in a matter of minutes. Easily upload any type of multimedia, its UX and UI. is magnific. can access all function very easily whether you are a student, an instructor or an admin. keep a running list of enrolled and completed courses

The calendar could be better.. need more integration with other comercials calendars, Requires deep technical experience for Customize this system, does not allow to create a data repository per student in a simple way, it is not an integrated talent management system. Reporting features, they need to improve them a lot, . The administrative functions are dificult to navigate and there are steps that are unnecessary in several of the processes.

The features and platform's being user friendly in on the one side, but customer service and client support make the success inevitable for everyone. Also, I like the voting forum to add our own ideas. Smartest way to evolve the software.

As Admin user, toggling on the course configuration sections one by one which will change soon as I heard.

Mobile friendly, good search capabilities, customizable with branding

Most of the cons for us were because we had an installed instance instead of cloud hosted. Updates were hard to process and therefore we were always multiple versions behind. These issues should be resolved with being hosted, since updates are pushed out automatically.
