Absorb for the upskilling win!
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
My company needed an LMS for Content Creation for upskilling current employees and onboarding new employees. We also needed a way to house training and informational resources. When using our previous LMS, it was difficult to easily create beautiful and useful content and support from that LMS was slow and lacking actual help. 90% of learning content and resources is made in house. We needed a robust LMS to support this.
- ease of use
- robust and fast support team
- beautiful content creation
- robust admin tools and reporting
- nothing is lacking so far
- everything has been great so far
- training and onboarding has been wonderful
- no issues to report

We use Absorb LMS in multiple ways. Customer product training and certification both online and ILC courses. Internal Member upskill training, personal development, compliance, D E & I, etc. online, cohort & ILC courses. We also use the Reviewer Experience internally. We use the reporting capabilities for learner development and for compliance reasons.
- ILC registration & management
- Reporting customization & capabilities
- Certification/Competencies
- Online course creation and uploading
- Easier way for learners to find the courses they are looking for.
- Navigational tips/videos on the learner side. AI Assist is coming and that should help.
- When rolling out new products, it would be helpful to have use case videos setup when doing a trial run.

AbsorbLMS Shines as a Well-Rounded Success!
We use Absorb to distribute training to our internal employees, as well as to distribute product training to our client base.
Absorb is a fully functional LMS for our employees, but truly shines when it comes to our needed support for our client training.
Here, Absorb allows us to customize the messaging and training distributed to various segments of our client base. Our client-facing training takes the form of videos, PDF's, quizzes, and SCORM or TinCan files, all of which Absorb handles with ease and provides accurate tracking for. We offer a variety of free and paid training, with custom pricing for some of our larger clients. Absorb's eCommerce features are robust and allow us to meet all of these needs with minimal manual manipulation.

- Up-time. (We have never experienced an outage that impacted us or our clients.)
- Tracking and reporting.
- Customization of the platform by Department
- eCommerce
- Zoom integration can sometimes be a bit wonky (and auto-course attendance does not seem to work consistently, but our application with clients is unique)
- The admin interface could use a UX redesign - It's not quite as pretty or as self-explanatory as the learner interface

Absorb LMS is a Win!
Absorb LMS has completely transformed our business. I can honestly say that this has revolutionized the way we interact with clients in over 90 countries around the world. There are many providers out there, but Absorb LMS provides the customization that we need to do what we need to do to get real results for our clients. I highly recommend Absorb LMS!
- Customization
- User-Friendly
- Modern Look
- Ability to upload mp3 files
- Multiple facilitators for one course
- Ability to take notes on the platform

Engagement at the highest level! Fun and user-friendly!!
As our company has continued to grow, my team went on a hunt for a learning management system to house all of our trainings, processes and update processes. Hands down Absorb LMS has been outstanding! We absolutely love Absorb Create to build engaging training courses, the reporting is easy to build and share wins with the team on how departments are engaging.
- Building engagement from the team on training
- Onboarding has become so much simpler for new hires
- Tracking on educational and additional training
- Viewing the scheduled reports would be nice. This would help redundant reports and be able to add or delete users receiving reports would be nice.
- Inactivity report for users so that we can isolate users that are not meeting the training requirements.

Absorb LMS is a clean, intuitive, yet POWERFUL LMS.
We utilize the Absorb LMS to deliver required training and supplemental trainings to our 2500+ corporate/retail/warehouse employees across the globe. We wanted to have a user-friendly, engaging solution that would be easy to use and would encourage self-development and exploration of our training modules. It had to connect to our HRIS System (Workday) and have reporting tools available to managers across the business.
- Usability - Both the User and Admin Experience is so simple and intuitive. The admin tools are clearly defined and laid out, yet the functionality makes it still powerful.
- Integration - We used the Scheduled Data Imports and Exports to connect with our HRIS tool. After the initial configuration, it has worked reliably and gives me all the custom data I need to make assignments and reporting a breeze.
- Design - I know it's covered a little bit in the Usability above, but the site just looks fantastic. There are a lot of options to customize and fit your branding requirements and all of the thumbnails/posters/billboards/etc give a very visual and appealing look to the LMS. Much better than I've seen in other products.
- Reporting - The out of the box reporting is a little cumbersome when trying to view more than one course at a time.
- Completed courses disappear from catalog - I know there is a setting, but it's also connected to the My Courses display so its either all or nothing. Would love to see that option split up
- Training History does not show inactive courses - To keep an accurate training history, courses cannot be deactivated or else the records disappear to the user.

Positive Experience with Absorb
We use Absorb to help train and onboard our employees but we also use the platform to educate and training our customers on our products.
- Response time
- User Interface
- The Create platform could have some additional features
- The process of training customers who have purchased Absorb could be more tailored and customized

Successful first LMS for our Company
Our company implemented Absorb LMS less than a year ago as our company's first-ever LMS. We reviewed several LMS systems and found that Absorb offered the features that we desired at a lower cost than other competitors. Prior to adopting an LMS, our training courses and records were decentralized and difficult to manage. Many of our prior training materials were PowerPoint presentations and not interactive for the audience. Adopting Absorb's LMS allowed us to centralize training records, provided easier access to training on-demand, and provided a more modern platform using video-based training. We were also able to create custom content with quizzes to confirm that learning objectives were met. Having the training records centralized in the LMS enabled our company to more efficiently confirm competency requirements for various industry and customer audits. We were much more efficient in transitioning repetitive training that had been instructor-led to video-based.
- Easy to use interface for users
- Implementation team very supportive
- Absorb continues to improve on their tool with new releases
- Ability to collaboratively suggest modifications to the platform in a forum and vote on other suggestions
- The manager experience needs further development, including how access the manager experience from the user experience
- There needs to be an easier search feature to find a course without having to use the filter option.
- There seems to be a slight delay when completing a course before it shows as completed in the transcript.

All in one training solution
Absorb is used as our Learning Management System. Our employees take e-learning courses through the platform, and log external training that they've taken on their own. Absorb also allows us to customize and run individual reports and dashboards. We also use it to share some company wide communications. Additionally it lets us collect feedback on training through the platform, send communications, create entire learning programs, and so much more.
- The reporting feature in Absorb is very strong. Reports are customizable to your company needs and the Absorb Analyze feature is very helpful. Having the ability to create dashboards right from your learning platform builds efficiency especially in our company where we don't have a data visualization platform i.e. PowerBI or Tableau.
- Absorbs ability to connect to course libraries such as GO1 is an amazing feature that opens up the learning possibilities and creates a unique benefit for our employees.
- The Absorb engage features are a useful addition for communicating with our employees and gamifying learning. The billboards let us share information throughout the company. Leaderboards create incentive to complete training. Polls let us quickly gain insights on employee opinions.
- We've encountered errors with certain trainings not marking complete and we have to go in and do this manually.
- Within Absorb analyze, it would be useful to be able to create visualizations & reports using 2 different data sources.

My review from a Content Creator perspective
We use Absorb to cover our training needs for employees and customers. Its content creation tools helped us build strong and agile courses and curriculums on topics such as onboarding and product knowledge, which can be easily monitored through their reporting features. The simple interface and features allow users from different departments to understand and develop their different solutions.
- Course creation
- Reports
- enrollment rules
- You can add additional content creation tools
- You could work on a simpler UX and UI
- A functionallity that allows testing course content before publishing
We use Absorb to support our internal learning centre to provide a centralized learning platform for employees. We use this to host company wide trainings, while also giving individual departments and business units the ability to post internal trainings to their employees.
Pre Absorb we had no LMS, which meant all L&D functionality was manual - reporting, marking attendance, scheduling sessions, targeted employee training etc. We also had nowhere to house all of the internal e-learnings that we had available. Absorb has helped us to fix this by centralizing all learning, providing in-depth reporting through Analyze, and offering e-learnings via uploaded SCORM files.

- Our CSM has been fantastic. Very approachable and takes on all questions/concerns we have.
- Analyze has allowed us to take our reporting to another level.
- Robust support site where client feedback/ideas can be posted. This is reviewed by the product team to determine whether this can be implemented. The feedback is always taken on board and I have seen a number of suggested ideas move forward to the implementation phase.
- Great knowledge base for admins with articles/resources to provide step by step work throughs of the different features available.
- At the moment you are unable to schedule recurring sessions that are different durations and/or cadence to each other. For e.g. if you have 3 ILC sessions and the time between session 1 and 2 is 1 week but 2 and 3 is 2 weeks, then this can't be recurring. Meaning individual ILC sessions need to be set up and users having to enroll in 3 sessions instead of 1.
- Auto enrolment for ILC sessions would be great. Would allow us to automatically new employees in to the required onboarding training without us having to do a manual file upload via FTP
- Custom messaging options. In addition to the messages that can already be sent out, it would be great if custom messaging could be sent out to address a certain subject that is not covered in the existing messaging.
- The option to send out resources at certain intervals after a training has taken place. We send out learning boosters for our programmes at 2 day, 2 week, 2 month intervals. This is a manual task as there is no way to automate this via Absorb.

Analyze Makes It All Worth It
Absorb is the LMS that powers our internal training site. We use it to house the schedule for all of our instructor-led courses, elearning (mandatory and optional) and resources. We have about 12,000 users on the platform. It allows us to automate onboarding, track engagement with all of our training mediums, and provide metrics and reporting via Analyze.
- Analyze is a complete gamechanger. Has transformed our analytics and saved tons of time.
- Auto-assignment of curriculums.
- Custom curriculum/course pages
- ILT set up; ability to have recurring sessions that are different lengths
- Auto-enrollment at various post-intervals; ie 60-days post completion receive an elearning follow up
- Only being able to enroll in one ILT session. Sometimes we have things people need to repeat and need to make new courses every time.

Client success manager drives the absorb success
We use the Absorb LMS to track education and external training all in one transcript. We also track MSHA ceus on the transcipt.
Issues we had in the past was assigning manditory education to those in the same division and job title correctly. Before some were being missed. Tracking expirey dates of cpr cards and renewing them. We are also cutting down on in person new hire orientation by delivering it through Absorb electronically as a video.

- Ease of impersonating others for troubleshotting issues
- Uploading content and allowing for resources and multifunctional courses
- Approval process for External Training and Course uploads
- Learner dashboard navigation is easy for users
- Spell check not only for Absorb but for Create too
- making all reports have the same display columns funtions - locations - supervisor- filter to show inactive employees on all reports
- pull all reports assigned to one department to see gaps.
- Seperate divisions/departments via by loaction when drilling down on department progress
- Show percentage of completion out of total assigned at the bottom of the report.
We use it to assign trainings, deliver, and track trainings. We also use the training compliance data from the Absorb LMS to report to our clients on a regular basis and during audits to indicate that we are training staff appropriately to handle the work. Managers at our company also utilize the training completion data to ensure that projects are resourced correctly and that their project team members are keeping up with assigned trainings as expected. We have integrated our Absorb LMS with LinkedIn Learning to expand professional development options for our staff.
- Provides a user friendly way to deliver training content.
- Provides an administrator interface that is easy to navigate.
- Provides an easy method for enrolling users to trainings in bulk.
- The default reporting and data export options from the administrator interface do not always allow you to report across all the desired data points. We have recently added Analyze and we think this might open up our options considerably.
- There is not an audit trail available for custom fields. This would be a nice feature to have so we can see who made changes to data within those.
- The ability to export an audit trail would be nice.

Absorb LMS is Amazing!
We use Absorb LMS as our online learning platform for clergy and laity leaders throughout our conference. Our conference area consists of 52 counties in West Virginia and one county in Maryland. There are over 900 churches and we currently have over 1,300 learners registered on our platform. Absorb allows us to provide training and leadership development to our learners we would never be able to do otherwise. We save the time and expense of in-person meetings, and our learners are able to take the courses on their schedule and not ours.
- Help desk support! The best I have ever encountered.
- Client Success Manager. Sherrie L. has been a wonderful trainer and partner!
- Setting up a new course is very easy to do and does not take very much time.
- The online learning courses for Admins needs to be updated.
We use Absorb LMS for both internal and external users that require specific auditable education regarding our products and policies. We deployed Absorb to over 5000 external users across the globe in multiple different languages and branding to engage the different demographics for both regulatory and marketing initiatives. The platform allowed us to build out a collaborative hybrid learning methodology internally which enabled individual business units autonomy in the system for their unique learning needs.
- Customizability
- Branding
- User experience
- Automation
- Multiple Domains
- Collaborations
- Language Options
- More robust integrations with larger HCM systems
- More robust reporting out of the box
- More mobile app capabilities

Gets the job done
MLS Soccer uses the Absorb LMS for multiple departments within our organization including MLS Next Pro and the EFCL. Our primary focus with Absorb is employee, coach, and player compliance training.
- Customer support
- Ability to duplicate templates to allow for quickly building out content
- Updated front-end, looks a bit outdated and at times too simplistic
- The backend is a bit clunky at times
- Adding admin roles and rules for departments is not that intuitive

Our users like the site - that matters!
I manage the Absorb database, which is used to distribute training for healthcare professionals. I am responsible for learner profiles, site design, uploading content, testing, and reports - to name a few. I do like this system. It is very intuitive. I like that my consultant Greg Law is available and knowledgeable if I have issues or questions. He has always responded quickly! This matters more than the system itself. Because often if I have an idea for implementing a new process that the system is limited in doing, he will have an alternative suggestion. Overall, I'd recommend this service to others in my field.
- Message learners individually or collectively
- UI is easy to use when building or editing courses
- Dashboard helps to see how training programs are performing at a glance
- Better responsive design for mobile users is needed. Many tiles don't show the images when using mobile devices.
- Could provide more ability to control the templates for customized webpages
- Ability to see the errors that cause a course to fail vs exploring everything
- Ability to hover over source files to see the nameing convention without needing to upload a new one for certainty.
Absorb LMS is the primary e-Learning platform at my organization. The system is primarily used to disperse off-the-shelf soft-skill training, as well as our in-house curated training, to our field employees (RMs/DMs/Trainers/Store and Assistant Managers)
- I have a wonderful Client Success Manager (Zoe MacKay) who always makes herself available to my organization when needed. She is a delight to work with.
- The Absorb LMS platform is easy to navigate from an end-user perspective.
- This is my first time administering an LMS platform, and Absorb LMS is pretty user-friendly once you get the hang of it!
- I find the Absorb LMS Knowledge Base to be a bit laborious to have to search through to find answers...and sometimes they are not easily understandable
- As simple as it may seem, I would like the ability to hit enter after entering search information rather than having to select the "Add Filter" button
- I would like the ability to run reports on multiple things at once (i.e., courses, etc.)

Absorb Duchess (lol)
We have 4 entities located in different provinces in Canada.
One of the entity starts fresh with an opening and new staff to train. Absorb implementation worked like a charm.
The 2 others are more of a challenge, as we are in operation, and the buy-in of the managers ( who are accountable of the success of their employees and training) have more challenges.
The Head office is a no brainer.

The Head office is a no brainer.
- The Paid Support is awesome!
- The platform itself - easy to use
- Communication (newsletter / emails)
- I'm happy Absorb offers licences to add training courses (Amplify). Looking forward to more available options and French options
- I feel like Absorb Academy is not that easy to use ot to get to when you have a specific question when programming.
Our business is in the field of E-Learning targeting Healthcare Professionals who are looking to gain initial certification or recertification within their career. I manage the Learning Management System for the company, including providing customer service, learning architectural design, scaffolding of learning environments, creating communities of practice, and more. Absorb allows us to have an efficient platform to not only host content for users, but to encourage them to engage deeply in the learning process. We are currently revamping our learning ecosystem toward one that is more efficient, supportive, and inclusive to learners of all stages within their career. Absorb meets us where we are at and has the capability to stretch and grow as we do. Our account liaison, Zoe MacKay is fantastic and she is always responsive to our desires - be they for functionality, explanation of additional services provided by Absorb, or just learning theory and philosophy conversations.
- Responsive to customer needs and desires via account rep and Absorb Ideas space
- Provides a collaborative meaning-making space for customers to collaborate on using Absorb effectively.
- Absorb is reflexive to your needs as a company and is comfortable meeting you where you are at and allowing you room to grow.
- Absorb, while having a great space for putting forth ideas, could be better about sharing their roadmap and plans for development with their corporate clients. We need to know so that we can design with these new or updated features in mind and amplify the message ahead of time instead of being more reactive.
- Absorb has room for more growth in the hosting of external content, as well as some functionality pieces when integrating learning objects into a course or curriculum. These objects do not link to one another and inherit completion, even when they are shared across different courses. My understanding is that they do in AbsorbCreate, but not the built-in LMS management suite of software.

Absorb is an easy to use LMS with great functionality
We use Absorb across our entire organization across dozens of office locations throughout the United States. We deliver all of our organization-created courses as well as off the shelf courses to all of our employees, including new hire orientation as well as individual training modules. This has helped us tremendously in cutting costs from traveling to locations to do training as well as creating a standard form of training across all locations.
- Standardized training for all employees.
- Easy delivery of new hire orientation courses.
- Automated creation of manager groups.
- Easier way of seeing who employees report to so we can create manager groups.

Absorb Review
We use Absorb for our corporate learning platform, ELI. We also utilize Go1 integrated with Absorb. We mainly use our LMS for compliance, professional development, and reporting.
- Customer support
- Ease of use
- Integration with other platforms
- Reporting - Analyze appears to still be in Beta mode
- Customization (learner and admin side)
- Re-enrollment capabilities
- Messaging/mass messaging
- Enrollment rules for every function, not just courses (i.e. Manager dashboard)
