Pros

“Neovation’s SmarterU LMS was easy for us to learn and implement quickly, but complex enough to allow us to grow and do more as our ability increased.”
AS

Anthony S.

Global Director of Training

“Visual, reading, etc.”
WC

Wanda C.

Training Specialist

Pros

“It's also solved the problem of customer self-sufficiency - our clients can manage their own users and courses and pull their own reports instead of coming to us for everything - and the reporting gives us visibility we didn't have before, both proactively during onboarding and reactively when a customer needs extra support.”

Learning and Development Manager

“I also appreciate the flexibility of the reporting tools, which allow us to track completion rates, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions.”
AK

Avnit K.

E-Learning and Development Officer

“What I like best about Absorb LMS is its intuitive user experience and powerful AI-driven course creation tools, which make it easy to quickly build engaging, professional learning content while reducing development time.”

Cons

“Handling multiple certificates, e.g. CME for surgeons and nurses, is difficult requiring us to make separate courses for each professional group.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

John D.

Director of Instructional Design

“Having to manually check if any retiring courses have current progress enrollments, and sending out an email to the user to tell them that they need to complete it or it will not be accessible any more.”
LM

Lorraine M.

Talent Management

“The reporting features did not always provide the level of detail or customization needed and the assignment functionality felt somewhat limited, making it harder for admins.”
