Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We leverage Absorb LMS to provide online training to our organization. Many of our staff work odd hours or non-traditional work styles and are successfully able to complete training that would normally need to be in-person or centralized. We also are able to use it for those who do attend our training live.

Pros and Cons

Flexible for learning development
Great customer service
Commitment to improving the software
Keeping tasks relatively intuitive

More lively and engaging documentation
Building more live communities - AMAs or webinars
A feature that looks to be missing is more customizable audience queries for training assignment

Return on Investment

Saving time when gathering training completion data
Streamlining organizational learning goals
Switching certain trainings to a remote format easily during COVID time

Likelihood to Recommend

I really like how agile the feature sets are for Absorb LMS training settings. I feel like I can troubleshoot or set up training to be successful relatively easy from scratch. I like the Observation checklist feature and how it integrates well with courses. The current development roadmap is great, by the way.

Where I wish it was more appropriate for my needs is a bit more enterprise-level features - two of which are training assignments by user ids that are comma-separated for more granular control and custom querying users to generate an audience. The other thing other than power is more control of the UI.

Happy to finally work with an easy to use, agile and flexible LMS
