Overall Satisfaction with Absorb LMS

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 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.
  • Better onboarding
  • Better tracking
  • Reduce cost
  • Content Creation (Absorb Create)
  • Content Libraries (Absorb Amplify or 3rd Party Libraries)
  • Reporting & Insights (Absorb Analyze or Absorb Amplify Direct)
  • Ecosystem Integrations (Absorb APIs or Absorb Connectors)
We did create amazing content, very interactive with Create. It's nice to personalize our content!

We are about to purchase Amplify licences which is a great tool, easy to use, and the course options are starting to be interesting! We need more French versions though!
Always answering fast, very patient, and very knowledgeable.
Mainly, the decision was based on our HR system - we needed a connector with ADP.
Guest service is also an important aspect, and we did get great service, straight from te beginning!
The fact that Absorb is a Canadian Company was too, a bonus!

yes, to program everything in a proper way and get support quickly!
I was amazed at the calm and professionalism of Absorb Staff when I first start to attend meetings with one of my bosses, who was very much an unpleasant person. While I was freaking out on my end, they kept smiling and respectful...:)

But most of all, Zoe took the time to create How to create reports on Absorb video content, which I was able to share with my managers, a huge bonus for our team!
