Pros

“It allows for quick setup of courses, good tracking of completion, and provides a structured way to ensure compliance across the organization.”
CN

Casper N.

Compliance and AML Officer

“In an organization with over 300 people leaders, the only option is a custom report and the last thing I need is 300 individual reports for each leader.”
MM

MacKenzie M.

Manager Instructional Design

“It should have AI capability within the platform to make a course from scratch with avatars and text and videos to final video modules”
HL

Husain L.

Head Learning and Development

Pros

“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.”
LM

Lori M.

People and Culture Manager

“Features like automatic reassignment of training save staff time and helps make sure resource families stay up to date with necessary training to remain compliant with program standards.”
JG

Jodi G.

Family Strengthening Program Specialist

Cons

“Also, their built-in (and expensive per-user cost) training library is full of cartoonish videos that are not well-suited for my clients and leaders.”
JB

Jeremy B.

Learning and Development Manager

“I think the notification delay of about 2 hours when I enroll someone in a course is also a bit odd, why not make it instant?”
PF

Patrick F.

HR Business Partner

“Cannot set timings on when emails get sent to users, so sometimes the system sends emails to employees on a Sunday”
PB

Paul B.

Group Operations Manager

Cons

“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.”
LJ

Lauren J.

Admin

“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

“Their license structure doesn't allow us to re-use licenses from past users, which is hard with our industry's turnover.”
KJ

Katie J.

VP, Talent Operations
