Likelihood to Recommend We utilize Absorb LMS as our online course delivery platform for a large academic medical center with numerous off-site locations. Absorb LMS is a robust platform allowing us to deliver meaningful education to staff across the enterprise in an easy-to-use interface for end users with robust reporting options for educators and managers to continue to track staff compliance. We transitioned to Absorb LMS from a different platform four years ago and the ease of use, customer support and reliable interface has not gone unnoticed.
Read full review Neogov is structured especially for local governments. They understand the needs of their customers and have the experience to help communities of any size acquire talented public servants. This is a public sector solution and probably isn't best suited for the private sector

Read full review Cons The ability to generate learner-specific, real-time dashboards with advanced filters and visual representations would provide greater insights into training effectiveness and learner performance. While Absorb LMS offers mobile access, further optimizing the mobile user/admin interface would cater to the modern workforce's mobile learning needs more effectively. Implementing AI technologies to provide personalized learning paths based on individual learner data and performance metrics could up the perception of modernism for users Read full review Customization can be tricky. I wish the platform could be more flexible. Neogov should look into offering more Administrative training resources. It can be difficult for a new user to immerse themselves within the platform. The reporting features within the platform could use an update. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We have no plans to move away from Absorb at this time. It has all of the functionality we are looking for in a learning management system and we have a lot of info stored in our LMS system for trainings including all of our current and past employee transcripts. It is also getting easier to manager with being able to connect the LMS to ADP to update employee reporting/department/location/etc. We don't have a need or reason to move away from Absorb at this time.
Read full review Usability Absorb LMS is easy to use from both a user experience and admin experience. For users, navigating the site to complete assignments or finding courses to develop new skills is very user-friendly. As an admin, the course creation tools walk you through each step simply, but have a ton of functionality to support any of your training needs.
Read full review Reliability and Availability The customer service team is top notch. They have always been readily available and quick to assist regardless of the day or time of the call
Read full review Performance Absorb LMS's performance is very reliable and consistent. Pages load quickly. Report are generated within a reasonable amount of time (even with significant amounts of data), etc. Nothing seems to slow it down.
Read full review Support Rating Absorb LMS's client service managers have been extremely responsive, efficient, and available. While we pay for a higher level of support, we have found it well worth the investment. We've been less pleased with the accounting side of the organization, but that has little impact on the delivery of training to our clients and employees.
Read full review Online Training I meet and do training with my absorb support every week. and I have all my questions answered! it's great
Read full review Alternatives Considered hands down favorite in look, function, cost and service. Others were close but could not meet our external and internal cases. Our current one (we looked at them again) did not have 40% of the functionality or value, despite the bargain cost, it was not worth it to continue. Only new hires used our LMS for onboarding because they had to; no one went back for more training. With Absorb our classes are more dynamic and targeted.
Read full review [NEOGOV] offers a complete and modern talent management system for the Public Sector. It was built for the public sector which allows it to stand alone within the HR field. When using products such as Indeed.com and Linkedin local governments are lost within a much larger universe.
Read full review Scalability This is one of the main reasons we chose Absorb as our LMS. It is a very user-friendly application that is able to be deployed across multiple departments in geographically dispersed locations. It works amazingly well for us.
Read full review Return on Investment We use the LMS as first-level client training; it gets clients' feet wet before they take a live training course. Clients appreciate that we can give them admin access so that they can be in control of their users' learning paths. We have used the LMS for our recent internal product certification and have been able to track completions and scores of employees to get a better feel for internal product knowledge and award prizes, making it fun for the participants. Since we have created the certification program, each new hire is enrolled in the program. This has been great for onboarding new hires. Read full review Neogov saves time for our HR operations. For example, candidates can complete pre-employment forms within the platform's Onboard feature. This saves resources (paper, ink, etc) and time allowing for a more efficient hiring process. Customer Service Efficiency - Unlike many commonly used HR products (ADP, Quickbooks, etc.) Neogov understands the challenges that are unique to local governments. When needed, their customer service teams are friendly and helpful saving you the headache of explaining your particular issue. Employee training features - Our employees are provided with insightful training opportunities which can be tracked and monitored annually. Read full review ScreenShots
