Vice President, Compliance and Data Governance Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Vice President, Compliance and Data Governance" March 6, 2025 5.0 My experience with has been very positive. From the beginning, the system was very easy to configure and set up. The options for internally created trainings have been robust, especially as it pertains to "quizzes" to test users. Additionally, importing existing SCORM trainings or internally recorded trainings has been relatively easy. Pros AbsorbLMS has enabled us to customize and personalize our training experience. This has empowered and motivated our team and has improved overall training compliance. Cons Would like to see more standard reports, especially as it pertains to compliance rates at multiple organizational levels.

Senior Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absorb LMS - Good but needs lot of work on UI and UX" February 6, 2025 3.0 We used Absorb for almost 4 years to provide learning resources to our members. However, with time we started to receive feedback about the platform being non-intuitive and difficult to navigate. From admin and instructor point of view, we found the system to be difficult to design dashboards, welcome pages. Although, I liked its capability to import SCROM files. Moreover, it was a bit expensive for the experience offered and for our scale. Pros The ability to support different formats such as SCORM Cons Well, although it is a decent LMS tool, I would urge the team at Absorb to work on their UI and UX for all stakeholders - Admins, Instructors, and Learners. The UI is not at all intuitive and looks archaic. Review Source KS Kristyna S. Sr. Technical Writer Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "LMS System MADE for Business of All Sizes" March 11, 2025 5.0 All individuals I worked with were clearly subject matter experts, very friendly and proactive, and continuously made themselves available for any questions I had. Pros The Absorb Create tool allows you to customize training content in an engaging manner while not having to spend days upon days to create a ten-minute course. Their existing courses take the guesswork out of foundations for the whole organization, leaving the customization levels up to you. Cons I think getting a better understanding of what is an added on cost in the pre-sales process would be better. Overall, all aspects of sales and implementation were excellent, but it was so much information that I didn't really get granular with what was included in the base bucket cost versus what was an additional cost. Alternatives considered [TalentLMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/132935/TalentLMS/) Reason for choosing Absorb LMS Lack of features in the competing platform, like custom course content and engaging add-ons. Review Source JN Jack N. Director Internal IT Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great integration of features and onboarding experience" March 7, 2025 5.0 The project was very successful and well received internally and by partners and customers. Pros Integration of AbsorbCreate with AbsorbLMS - also the customer onboarding phase went very well - helping us go from zero to a strong first release of content in a few months. We make heavy use of the AI Voice Over - it saves us a lot of time and makes the content audio very consistent and professional. Cons Integration of mail into our own email server could not meet our compliance requirements - so we use the default "no reply" Switched from [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) Integration of content creation and LMS as well as better content mgmt and user / department management Review Source JH James H. Manager Digital Education Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Absorb Just Works" March 27, 2025 5.0 Pros I love the ease of use, especially for administrators.

They have an intimate knowledge of their product and were able to provide solutions to all of the use cases that we presented. Pros Customer service, onboarding & implementation, ease of use. Cons I would like to see more integrations for various HRIS systems. We had to set up an SFTP to upload our user data on a daily basis that needs to be done manually.

Absorb also was the only LMS vendor that we looked into that said that they would negotiate on price on the front end of our conversations. Review Source EE Esther E. Program Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Absorb LMS, easy to access and use." September 24, 2025 5.0 Using Absorb has been good. The user interface is beautiful and our learners find it so easy to use and navigate through the LMS. Pros is easy to use and navigate. Creating courses using Absorb Create has reduced the overall time. Cons Absorb Create team is not as easy to reach directly like the Absorb support team. It will be good if Absorb Create team can reached via phone. Review Source KM Kevin M. Director IT and Organizational Effectiveness Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Absorb Integrstion into BVC Portal System" March 11, 2025 5.0 We have had a great experience with Absorb. It took us nearly a year to get things fully configured but we were assitted greatly by the Absorb on-boarding and support team. They also helped us with the integration of the Absorb system into our own proprietary software. Pros Absorb is a very rich software system that allows for multiple configurations. Courses are easy to setup and administer. For us, however, we were able to separate our global network of trainers into each one’s separate ’department’ which allows them to administer their own courses and registrations in their own account. This makes for effective course delivery and reporting. Cons What we liked least is actually Absorb’s strength - there are so many ways to configure courses and curriculum that sometimes it gets a little confusing. Review Source KW Keith W. Clinical Project Manager I Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absorb Review - An ID Experience " March 5, 2025 4.0 I like using Absorb because it allows me to create informed and detailed courses within my department. I'm also able to analyze metrics for users in selected courses. Pros I can create courses and develop links to resources on the learner experience page. Cons Limited customization of resources when I upload these in the global resources section. Review Source AC Amanda C.

Trainer Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend Absorb" March 5, 2025 5.0 A reliable and efficient platform that simplifies training, but there’s room for improvement in customization and content management. Pros It's user-friendly, engaging, and makes training easily accessible with great tracking and reporting features. Cons Content creation can be time-consuming, and some customization options could be more flexible. Review Source AB Angela B. Clinical Project Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Absorb is a solid choice" March 10, 2025 5.0 stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust reporting capabilities, and scalability. It offers a modern, intuitive design that makes navigation easy for both learners and administrators. Pros Easy to Use – Clean interface with smooth navigation, Powerful Reporting & Analytics – Customizable dashboards for tracking progress and engagement, Mobile-Friendly & Responsive – Allows learning on any device. Cons Cost – Pricing can be high compared to some competitors, especially for smaller organizations.

LMS Administrator Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Absorb LMS is overall good, but has areas for improvement" October 14, 2024 4.0 Good for mid-size business internal training, but not if you use both internal & external trainings. Trial is a bit minimal at 10 days as it's hard to really load and test the systems full functionality in that small amount of time. 30 days would be a great update. Pros top notch customer service, intuitive interface and integrates well with other systems Cons system is very clunky for administrators and qlitchy apps. The cost is high for support beyond basics and it's hard to get queries and issues resolved in a timely manner. Review Source KS Kim S. Director Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing Support" March 15, 2025 5.0 \[sensitive content hidden\] is an amazing support, nithing is ever too much trouble, this was totally new to us and he was more than happy to work through with us frkm the basics. Pros Communication and support has been amazing, with never doing anything like this before, the team have been more than happy to guide us through the basics. The system is easy to use and allows us to track all areas of our staff training. Cons The AI course creation Tools can be limted but I am sure this will develop quickly. Review Source FA Fatima A. Accounting Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accounting Manager" October 9, 2024 4.0 Good - Training video's are done pretty quickly. Pros You can assign training based on departments. Set deadlines and have a little questionnaire. Cons There should be limitations on how long the training video should be. some divisions put up videos that are over 2 hours long. Absorb should advise that training is absorbs in smaller doses. Documents for the videos should be easily visible as well after the video ends instead of watching the video again and waiting for the steps. Review Source SB Sarah B. Learning and Development Manager Government Relations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Initative platform and great customer focused team" June 27, 2024 5.0 The LMS allows us to uplift our capability to encourage a modern and user friendly experience. From implementation and roll out the process has been fairly smooth and the team have been really helpful to ensure we are making the most of the system. Our support team in Australia has been prompt and guiding in answering any queries and ensuring we use our system in the best way possible. Pros The platform is intuitive and fairly easy to navigate. The help guides are useful and if further detail is required, the support team are always on hand for guidance. Cons A little more work around the dynamic targeting of user groups would be great. Reason for choosing Absorb LMS Various reasons such as usability, functionality and costing. Review Source JW Jason W. Sr. Manager Learning and Development Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Absorb LMS" February 16, 2024 4.0 does meet our needs and the people at Absorb are always great partners. I am interested in seeing new products and how we can use Absorb more in our business. Pros Absorb's customer support has always exceeded expectations when needed. Fortunately, we have needed their assistance often, but they have always been a great partner when working through any issues. 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. Always quick to reply and willing to help! He made the migration a smooth process! Highly recommend \[sensitive content hidden\]! Cons The new Learner Portal updates are not simple for learners to navigate. We use online courses consisting of several modules/chapters. It has become a challenge for our learners to move to the next module. Please add a button that allows them to move forward to next module. Reason for choosing Absorb LMS Forced migration due to purchase of previous LMS. Switched from [ASAP Systems](https://www.capterra.com/p/148301/Passport-Inventory/) Absorb purchased ePath a few years ago and we had to migrate quickly to Absorb's LMS. Review Source AR Arleen R. Learning and Development Administrator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cotton Holdings Review" April 19, 2024 5.0 I would rate it 10/10 after implementation once we received help from \[sensitive content hidden\]. addressed a critical challenge within our organization by consolidating multiple learning management systems (LMS) and training accounts into a single platform. This consolidation streamlines the management of training resources and records, eliminating the need to navigate through numerous systems. Furthermore, Absorb LMS enhances our reporting capabilities by centralizing data collection and analysis. Instead of pulling information from disparate sources, we now access comprehensive training data from one centralized location, enabling more efficient and insightful reporting processes. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been prompt in responding to, assisting with and resolving our concerns. \[sensitive content hidden\] is a wealth of knowledge, I am so thankful to have his expertise to assist me as I learn the ins and outs of the administration side of Absorb. Pros What I appreciate most about is the invaluable support provided by resources such as \[sensitive content hidden\]. Their guidance has been instrumental in our journey with the platform, particularly during the initial stages when onboarding took longer than anticipated. Their expertise has enabled us to overcome challenges efficiently and make significant progress, ensuring that we maximize the benefits of our Absorb LMS account. Cons While 's customizability is undoubtedly a strength, it also presents a unique challenge: starting with a clean slate. Unlike more rigid systems with predefined templates, Absorb LMS offers a blank canvas, requiring organizations to invest time and effort into tailoring the platform to their specific needs. However, this process, while initially demanding, ultimately ensures that the learning experience is precisely aligned with the organization's goals and values, resulting in a more effective and engaging training program in the long run. Reason for choosing Absorb LMS By migrating to , we have gained access to a wealth of resources and functionalities that not only address our immediate requirements but also provide a scalable foundation for future growth and development in our training initiatives.

Project implementation team also excellent. Smooth implementation process. Overall positive and professional experience with the whole team. Pros The user interface. It is easy to navigate and makes good use of accessibility. Cons In the course setup section I would like to see more developer integration options alongside SCORMS, TinCan, AICC etc. OCN requested compliance integrations with the product so it would be good to see something like this added in the future. Alternatives considered [Docebo](https://www.capterra.com/p/127213/Docebo/) Reason for choosing Absorb LMS ABSORB's price was overall the best out of all for the features and functionality contained within the whole subscription price. The customer service engineers post implementation are also extremely helpful and will always provide alternative solutions or workarounds on the platform too. Switched from [Moodle](https://www.capterra.com/p/80691/Moodle/) Former LMS feedback indicated non user friendly interface and a lack of usage across OCNs active centres due to this.

We believe Absorb offers a user-friendly interface and robust functionality that caters to our diverse organizational needs. Pros The easy navigation, customization options, and learner engagement capabilities have empowered our organization to deliver impactful training programs. Backed by a solid customer support, we consider this LMS as a trusted partner in education and training, that has helped us drive educational success and innovation globally. Cons We've learned that a perfect Learning Management System is not a reality. Though most functionalities are essential to our success there are many others that don't fit our particular user case.

Sr. Director of Training Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LMS Focused on Client Satisfaction" October 26, 2022 5.0 is exactly what we needed to streamline our training deliver consistently and reliably. Learners love the ease of use and our admins love the reporting. Absorb also offers content integrations which we are utilizing to deliver leadership training. Pros Absorb has such a wonderful client portal to submit feedback. There's an ability to submit feature requests and have other clients talk through the pros/cons and use cases for those items. I've had calls with Absorb developers based on the feedback that I had submitted and those features then went forward into the production environment. It is awesome to see how involved Absorb is in the client community. Cons There are not many features that are problematic. I wish there was a more seamless way to allow a learner to take one course in place of another. If a learner submitted a third party certificate for a course that is equivalent to an in-house course, the admin needs to manually award completion for the in-house course. It isn't exactly clean and can lead to some confusion when auditing learner completions to understand which version was completed vs credited. Reason for choosing Absorb LMS We have complex assignment rules based on customer requirements. We needed a system that could match our unique need to use customized rules, create automated and ad hoc groups, and give us confidence that it will run smooth. Review Source MD Michaela D. Director of Instructional Design E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effortless Success " November 28, 2022 5.0 We have had an absolutely wonderful experience with Absorb thus far. There were a few temporary hiccups along the way with our account manager. This has all been fixed since. The absolute best part of the experience besides the software is our Client Success Manager, Taylor. I do not know if we could have stayed with Absorb as long as we have without him. He is the ultimate reason we have chosen to stay so long. Pros There are so many great things I can say about Absorb. The absolute best feature of the software itself is the individuality it allows us to create for users. We have some standard courses that clients are interested in, however, the biggest pull is allowing us to make the experience feel custom to them. Our customers can easily navigate their own portals effortlessly. Customizing the templates and organization of courses is the personal touch that makes this software so great. Cons There are a few key features that I have noticed are not a part of Absorb software that could really be useful. The templates and options on how it is set up are pretty standard, however, certain options such as the calendar for example. Our clients love the calendar. However, you cannot really edit the calendar for full customization. I think if all of the template options had more range in customization it would be a bit better. Review Source YJ Yashovardhan J. Researcher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-one learning platform for Everyone" January 31, 2023 5.0 I have been using the for a few years, and have been very pleased with their platform. It is user-friendly, offers a great range of features, is well-supported and highly customisable. The training program setup and course creation process has been easy to learn and manage. I especially appreciate the reporting features which are very user-friendly and provide meaningful data. I also think Absorb has done a great job of creating an online community of customers which is a great resource for ideas and best practices. Pros The features most impactful in are customizability, scalability, analytics, and reporting. Users can easily customize the look and feel of the platform to best suit their organization's needs. Additionally, it can be scaled up or down depending on the size of the organization and their training needs. The analytics and reporting tools provided by Absorb LMS make it easy to track learner engagement and course effectiveness. Additionally, Absorb's API also allows organizations to easily integrate Absorb into existing business processes. Finally, Absorb LMS is incredibly easy to use and provides a straightforward user interface for authors and learners. Cons One of the areas of least satisfaction with is the amount of setup required to configure the system. This can be particularly challenging for non-technical users and requires a fair amount of time and energy to get the system settings just right. Additionally, the interface of the interface and navigation could be more intuitive.

It provides a comprehensive range of features and customization options, making it easy to customize and configure the system to our specific needs. The customization flexibility also allows us to create automated rules and automate much of the training process.

Training Program Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Making My Life Easier" June 3, 2022 5.0 My overall experience has been great. The LMS has allowed me to build an entire corporate training program while simultaneously building the LMS to support it. The time-based credential reporting and compliance tracking has allowed to avoid those possible awkward moments with clients' specific training requirements. With this tracking and reporting, we're also able to respond to a client's immediate need by knowing who is qualified and current on a given access or occupational training requirement. Pros The is easily customizable and Admin/Learner user-friendly. This allowed me to expand my Training effort and capabilities with not only scope but greater efficiencies in that I can customize the LMS to meet the varying needs of my different stakeholders. Cons If there is a negative, it is in the format of the Training Transcript when printed, or exported as an electronic file. The courses appear in alphabetical order without the ability to filter for a time period, or sort chronologically. This frustrates Supervisors who then have to review the entire transcript to find what training an employee has completed in the last year. I understand the Transcript are being reworked by Absorb for 2022, so this may become a non-issue.
