Overall Satisfaction with Absorb 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.
- Increased Compliance
- Better tracking and reporting on learning
- More efficient use of learning time/costs
- Increased LMS utilization
- Ecosystem Integrations (Absorb APIs or Absorb Connectors)
- Social Learning (Absorb Engage)
The Engage module gives us a visually impactful homepage where we can easily spotlight new or recommended trainings. The Absorb LMS connection with our HRIS automatically takes care of user management so we don't have to deal with SARS forms and manual admin work. It also gives us all the data we need to accurately assign compliance or business-specific trainings.
I think Absorb LMS is, by far, the most clean and visually appealing platform, while being easy to use and still providing powerful functionality.
