Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Learning & Development Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Would be a perfect solution if the support wasn't terrible" April 21, 2021 5.0 Pros \- Absorb has many features - Many integrations, including Absorb Create - Relatively easy to use Cons \- For a learning solution, the knowledge base is very basic - Support team are friendly over the phone, but don't always answer calls, voicemails or reply to tickets - Absorb Create support is horrendous. Long wait times and support team aren't helpful - Onboarding experience was not worth the implementation fee. Training sessions were not provided considering what was told in the initial session. A real lack of communication, education and support from the start. Review Source SK Scott K. Manager, Global Sales Programs Used the software for: ### "Blatant Media's "Absorb Anywhere" definitely exceeded our expectations!" March 11, 2011 5.0 Blatant's Absorb Anywhere platform is the perfect solution for those companies needing to take their training and education programs to the next level. But to do so in a way that's reflective of the brand and conscientious of relationships with users. Blatant has clearly leveraged their experience with academic learning enivornments to address the opportunity to immerse sales associates at retail in the brand story, creating ambassadors ready to sell. And they accomplish this with one of the brightest teams of people with which I've ever worked. Pros Oakley moved from a custom-built application to a proven LMS platform in 2009 to address the growing opportunity to train Sales Associates on how to sell our products. We were interested in a brand-right tool to drive sales, and Blatant helped us to easily adapt their system to meet our unique needs. Being a global company, Absorb Anywhere allows us to distribute system administration responsibilities across regions for a truly localized experience. The team at Blatant continues to roll out new features that are highly applicable to our users. Cons We have seen no downside to partnering with Blatant on this opportunity. It's important to work with a vendor that you trust, and Blatant is definitely invested in the success of this project. As they continue to grow and expand their operations, we'll look forward to enhancements to the system that will improve our relationship with loyal users. Review Source LS Luci S.

Pros The majority of the features are very intuitive to utilize, and our Rep \[sensitive content hidden\] is amazing with the level of support she offers. Cons I think a few features are missing that other LMS systems, like post-hiring day enrollments not tied to another course. Review Source SM Santino M.

Pros Easy to navigate, implement, and set up on the backend. User support is great. Cons Haven't discovered anything yet that I dislike.

Cons Reporting or data tracking can be a headache Review Source DG Deirdre G.

Its always been easy to use and it seems to get better all the time It actually surprises me when I see a new feature. It's free for the learner, so I have nothing on price points. Cons I have never had an issue with the product and I have never had to use any support advice. I have only used it internally with a company I am contracted with.

Managing Director Used the software for: ### "Powerful, Simple and Elegant - Absorb LMS" April 27, 2013 4.0 I have been so pleased with the and Team that I had a second company I work with also use the Absorb LMS. They continue to add new features that make sense and are always trying to improve the LMS for the user and the administrators. Using Absorb has enabled us to expand our training business - both classroom and online - by making us more efficient internally and delivering a better service to our customers. Pros We've been using the for over 3 years so we've seen it continue to evolve into a tremendous tool. We run classroom courses and offer online courses globally, so ease of use is critical. That's why we went with Absorb in the first place and their new user interface is another huge step in providing users with the best possible experience. We really consider the Absorb team to be like partners in helping us use the LMS to make our business grow by providing a better learning experience to our users. They have worked with us to develop special types of tests and surveys that are critical to our business. Cons For our needs, which are probably unique, the reporting is not sufficient. So we had to build a reporting tool that uses the data from the LMS. However, the Absorb Team was really great in working with us to set up the daily data exports. Review Source KD Karim D.

Cons The reporting and metrics provided by the base system are seriously lacking. In addition, their response time on support tickets when their is a bug in their system can take months or even years to correct with only a standard response that "development is investigating." Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Business System Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick way to get your peers upto speed" September 30, 2018 4.0 Pros Easy to use with a straight forward interface.

Chief Operating Officer E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Use and Appearance" February 11, 2021 5.0 The overall experience with Absorb has been very supported from the sales team, the on-boarding and technical assistance. As novices moving into the E-Learning space, the Absorb Team showed a great deal of patience answering some questions more than once, even the most mundane. Pros In our search for a LMS we had an opportunity to look at many of Absorb's competitors and it became very clear, very quickly how easy it was to navigate the system for both the end user and the administrator. Along with ease of use, each window is crisply design to feel innovative and supportive. Cons There were so many options for how to use Absorb to move our e-learning products and on-line learning, we had difficulty deciding where to start, because we wanted to do everything in the first month.

Review Source JLP J L P. Performance Center Manager Utilities Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the better ones" November 4, 2016 4.0 All-in-all, I have enjoyed using Absorb. It has a pretty robust feature set and a very easy to use interface. When we run into bugs, Absorb sometimes takes quite a long time to resolve the issues. They will not give you an ETA for fixes either. It has some issues with playing video on iOS10 devices. I like how it handles most content and I really like how it modularizes courses. Pros Ease of use. Everything is easy to find and the options make sense. Cons When bugs are introduced, they don't always get fixed very quickly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Education Lead Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful and complicated learning management." December 5, 2017 5.0 We were able to scale learning across multiple departments by settling on Absorb. It's powerful and will likely be a great long-term education solution for our entire organization. Pros There seems to be no bounds for what Absorb can help organizations do when it comes to elearning. As we're scaling our education efforts across the company, this seemed to check all the boxes for multiple departments. The power and flexibility in the software seems to be unmatched in the industry. Cons It's complex and overwhelming. The learning curve is immense. Understandable for powerful software, but onboarding a team to get up and running with this will likely set you back a few weeks. If you're looking for a quick and easy solution, this is not it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, Organizational Development Machinery Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic tool for managing training and other Learning mediums. Great customer support." February 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use and intuitive platform. Works well with most/all file formats. Able to create a wide variety of curricula and training certifications. Fantastic team that works hard to please the end user. Cons Some customization (tiles on homepage, style and feel) is limited. Reporting is evolving, but a great tool. Overall a good system. Review Source NT Nery T. Elearning Specialist Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why absorb" April 9, 2024 4.0 Pros I like the customization and implementation process. Cons There are a lot of functions that need to be developed further for ease of use. Review Source CD Charlie D. Project Manager Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Absorb - great product, great partners" August 8, 2016 5.0 The Absorb team was always professional. Through the vendor selection process, implementation, to post-implementation support, I've found the Absorb team to be helpful, knowledgeable, and straightforward. The software is robust and functional. We got everything we were looking for. I would definitely recommend this product. It effectively delivers content and courses, it's totally brand-able, and it's easy to use from the user and admin's perspectives. Pros Clean interface. It's navigable and easy-to-use. Cons We had a little hiccup with uploading hundreds of users who were all in different departments. It required us to upload a spreadsheet per department (about 12) instead of uploading one spreadsheet and having the system parse the groups. I think this is a fairly rare circumstance though (either you are a small group and it doesn't matter or you are a big group and you have an API). Added an extra 2 hours of work - not a big deal. Otherwise the user-upload interface is very effective.
