Absorb LMS is appropriate for any continuing education organization or company that wants a reliable platform to host enduring educational content. It has been a great experience in terms of building and designing courses, monitoring learner progress, and as another touch point for learners to access other resources our organization offers.

Absorb is well suited to meet all of the needs of my company as an LMS, content creation tool, reporting tool for compliance and HR, resource library, and a wonderful tool for self guided upskilling of employees.
In our case, Absorb is not needed for any ecommerce or client learning or outreach. However, it is good to know that those capabilities are there if we ever need them in the future.

Absorb LMS is well suited as a vehicle for ILC registration, management and reporting results. It is also well suited for certification and competencies on compliance training both internally and for customer product certification. We love it for sales training. Using the system as a source of truth for all training reporting is also helpful

Why you need Absorb

Score 7 out of 10

As a learning database as a whole it is definitely helpful. It would not be appropriate for a company that has zero training materials. It is the last thing needed to get the L&D up and running. You need to come content ready but even if you don't, they are there to support.

Absorb is suited for any organization looking for an LMS that covers all aspects of L&D without needing other programs to create courses or analyze progress. It has many functionalities, so if one is looking for an easy, no-nonsense platform, it may be complicated.

We have an over abundance of new people coming through our programs at my center and not enough manpower to give all of them an orientation session (the needs have tripled in the past 6 months). Absorb will be an excellent platform to get consistent training to many incoming people.

Absorb is a well-rounded LMS. With a competitive price point, it makes a great entry point LMS for smaller companies who haven't used an LMS. And with it's robust feature set and stability can grow with you into a large multi-national audience.

For our organization, Absorb is a fantastic choice. We are able to offer comprehensive learning opportunities for users and to do so in a system that is user-friendly, attractive, modern, and robust in its reporting capabilities. The fact that Absorb has the capability to manage communication with users surrounding expiry dates and outstanding elements to be completed is life-changing for our team.

Absorb LMS is my introduction to LMS setup and management and they've made it very easy with accessible and friendly support and patience. I have also seen how the platform has improved and evolved over the last few years based on customer feedback. And while the platform is great to work with, it's the Absorb Team members that really make all the difference. Everyone has been very generous with their time and support. I feel well respected and taken-care of.

Hands down 10/10 Absorb LMS and the Absorb Staff are awesome! Anytime I find myself stumbling with an issue and cannot find the answer in Knowledge base the Absorb LMS Support Staff is on top of getting me the direction to proceed very quickly! They are always so quick to respond and friendly.

The initial training and launch of Absorb LMS was well planned and [...] was super amazing!

Even building automatic imports from our payroll provider to Absorb LMS for user imports was handled amazing by [...]! He was always spot on with helping us through the process!

It's good for medium to large-sized companies that want an engaging and easy-to-use platform while still maintaining powerful admin tools. It might be too expensive for a smaller company that might not use all of the functionality.

Absorb LMS has been a great tool to use for our yearly company training courses. The course buildouts work seamlessly with our exports. This is the first year we have offered company-wide training in Absorb LMS, and overall the change curve has been relatively flat - our users have adapted to the platform without much trouble. We do not use the e-commerce tools, so those feel a bit unnecessary and cumbersome for our needs.

We have found the platform well-suited to all of our educational needs. For example, the enrollment keys really help us assign the right onboarding content to new users. We are also able to use enrollment keys to direct customers to the exact training modules they need.

Absorb has many different reports that can be pulled and user data can be extracted as well. We invested in integrating with our HRIS software, which allows us to bring in multiple fields and helps in our reporting. Absorb allows multiple types of media to be updated into courses which helps our course content be engaging to the end user.

Absorb is a great LMS for most applications. It was fairly easy to learn to configure and looks very professional. Our employees adopted the system fairly quickly and we had mostly positive feedback. The base Absorb platform provides basic reporting, so if you are going to need more customized reporting, then you will need to purchase the additional module for Absorb Analyze. The Manager Experience is still evolving, and managers may want to have more ability to do things in this part of the system than what is currently available. There is a connector that can be purchased from ADP to connect it with Absorb's LMS, although our company chose to develop our own API connector. We are currently using third-party course authoring software. The Absorb Amplify courses are good if you want to add immediate content to the system, although the courses are very basic.
