Organizations providing employee, customer, partner, or member training. Absorb's clients range from a few hundred learners right through to hundreds of thousands of learners.
Pathwright is an especially good fit for educators and trainers in small to medium-sized businesses who value a personal and design-oriented approach to teaching.
Compared to other LMS, the platform itself is easy to use while providing a good breadth of features for our use. It's a mature product, with a solid backend.
And due to the acquisition, we unfortunately had no choice.
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.
Difficult to manage blended learning. Some factors in course management could use improvements.
The company itself is great to work with. Their customer service staff is so nice and friendly, and the project manager and account manager I worked with helped me every step of the way.
Limited assessment options when it comes to answer types. Reporting structure takes a bit to get used to.
A great example is working with Absorb's support as we transitioned to a new HRIS platform. I had the pleasure of working with [sensitive content hidden] and he was fantastic.
When assigning courses you can only assign to a whole or sub-department, you can exclude.
The Pathwright team has been nothing short of fabulous helping our organization onboard to the platform, and even making custom tweaks to enable features we were hoping to integrate.
Sometimes, navigating through courses and sections can be very painful.
This is the LMS you have been waiting for. It is flexible, beautiful, and effective - packing in all the features you want and need without allowing those features to clutter the UI of the platform.
I suppose if someone wanted an app-centric software to do a similar thing instead of via browser this is limited.
Finally we have a platform we love that makes crafting online courses and taking them a joy. Pathwright is flexible in terms of its content capabilities, with a pleasing design aesthetic.
Maybe in the future they will add some more customizable options for content blocks, but it seriously has everything you need and looks very professional right out of the gate.
Their staff are responsive and provide the support needed to be successful.
It is hard to learn how to build courses at first.
Craig C.: Hi, my name is Craig. I am a consultant. I would give Absorb LMS a five. And if you want more reviews like this, please click below. My company really wanted to focus on learning and development, but we didn't have a tool to kind of disseminate that across the organization. So we did an analysis, a vendor analysis and we arrived at Absorb LMS. And the problem that it's solving is solving the ability of departmental and unit training. And then also giving employees across the company access to learning and development tools. I like how easy it is to use and integrate into HMSA systems. It also plays nice with the different types of software that we use. So for example, we use Salesforce for a lot of our business processes. All of our employee information is loaded into Salesforce. Every time we get a new hire, that information goes through Salesforce and Salesforce coordinates really well with Absorb and cuts down the process work on our end. So I just like how easy it is to use. I wish there were more customization options for the user. I wish they were able to speed up or slow down a video, for example. That's a big ask that we get from our employees and other customization things that will make their lives easier.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
