Absorb LMS

Absorb LMS Overview:

### Key takeaways

Insights from verified Capterra reviews

Absorb LMS is a learning management system that helps small and midsized businesses (SMBs) manage training, onboarding, and compliance across departments. It’s most used by teams in software services, IT, and healthcare. Reviewers highlight its learner portal and training automation, while others feel that self-paced learning and compliance tracking can be improved. 

### Our verdict

It supports SMBs with scalable training tools, effective reporting, and learner portal customization. You should weigh the trade-off between its flexible course management and the limited native eCommerce and marketing features. Some users report interface challenges and setup complexity, but most find the system dependable for onboarding and performance tracking.

Exceptionally smooth and issue free from start to finish. I found the procurement process relative straight forward, Absorb were fully supportive of our needs and understood our requirements. Setup was super smooth and extremely efficient, from contract signing to roll out was less than a month which was impressive.

Pros

Firstly the number of features that were available compared to other LMX platforms. The extensive library allowed us to cover multiple geographic locations for mandatory training requirements and the AI features within create have proven to be a significant time saver when creating modules or supporting materials.

Cons

Some of the dashboard views which contain all of the training added for employees to select self learning can lead to a bit of a visual overload when viewed on the employee dashboard. Just displaying the mandatory training and having everything else accessible via a folder option would be better for us.

All interactions I've had with\[sensitive content hidden\] have been phenomenal. We were so supported in every step from contract negotiations to project management, implementation, and testing. I'm so grateful for this system and it's going to support our company very well as we grow.

Pros

Every single thing that was discussed during the initial conversations around this project have been accurate. The ease of use, capability, functionality, reporting, and scalability were not over-exaggerated.

Cons

That I didn't get this system sooner! The only actual con I have is not with Absorb, but with MedTrainer. Their license structure doesn't allow us to re-use licenses from past users, which is hard with our industry's turnover.

Pros

Absorb is great for our purposes of training our new employees, creating mandatory trainings, tracking their progress. It has all the functionality that we need with quick and professional customer support. The learner portal is user-friendly and customizable.

Cons

The content creator add on (Absorb Create) could be improved with better options, design and flexibility.

It's been great! I really appreciate the support of our CSM and Account Manager. They've been great at helping us refine our LMS use.

Pros

Absorb LMS is extremely intuitive for both admin users and our end-users. I appreciate all the training available in the Absorb Academy and have found the articles/white papers, and reports extremely helpful.

Cons

There's no way for us to archive records we no longer need (like a user enrolled in a course they no longer need to take, but we still have to show they were enrolled for compliance), and we need more insights into which admin users are making enrollments. We also need to be able to see deleted enrollments.

Overall the experience is really good. It has allowed us to speed up training and give our team the training and understanding to do what we do better.

Pros

We love how easy it is to use and how many different learning styles that are offered for our learners.

Cons

The admin page feels a little outdated but is still user friendly and easy enough to use. The set up could be easier but it was very helpful.

Overall great experience, \[sensitive content hidden\] is our CSM and is absolutely fantastic. She is so patient with all of my questions, again being a new user I do think it is so important to have someone who is very understanding. She just recently got us to set up quarterly meetings which is wonderful!

Pros

I just recently got into the Absorb Academy learning, and think they have SO many great learning opportunities.

Cons

Personally, I find as a newer users it to be a little more challenging system. Maybe thinking about some sort of "onboarding call" when you client may get a new employee. Which I do understand that should be on the company itself to set up, but just going the extra mile to do so.

As someone who inherited being the Absorb LMS admin/support person at my company it was pretty straight forward and easy to learn. I think the system is fairly intuitive and the help feature is always there if I need. I also have a habit of just emailing Tamar or Dave and they are always able to hop on a quick call and walk me through anything.

Pros

I absolutely love Absorb LMS! It has every feature we need to successfully share content and train everyone at our company. The customer support is fantastic and the two reps I have had the pleasure of working with \[sensitive content hidden\] have been so responsive and helpful with anything we need.

Cons

Honestly there is nothing that comes to mind. Everything has been great in my experience working with Absorb LMS.

Our overall experience with Absorb has been excellent. It’s easy for our team to use, reliable, and has made managing training a smooth process. The platform looks great, works the way we need it to, and has genuinely improved how we deliver and track our training. We’ve been really happy with it.

Pros

It’s easy to use, clean, and makes building and assigning training simple. Reporting is straightforward, and our team has an easier time navigating and completing courses compared to other platforms.

Cons

Some parts of the backend feel a little limited, especially when trying to customize certain features or layout options. A few processes take more clicks than they should, but nothing that stops us from getting the job done.

Overall, very professional team. Support helps in very quick time. Implementation team is always available when you need.

Pros

On top of being a good learning system, the IT infrastructure is well thought out. It is very customizable and can cater to whatever learning needs you have, or however you want to structure the learning environment.

Cons

Nothing in particular. What I liked the least was when you are learning for the first time, you don't know where to find certain modules or how different parts of the system link and work together.
