Overall Satisfaction with Absorb LMS

Our organization utilizes Aborb LMS as a training platform to provide enhanced training materials that can be accessed at anytime and anywhere to our learners.

  • This platform can create simple, accessible courses for learners to access materials or all the way up to utilizing Ai, videos and voiceovers to create engaging courses.
  • With a dedicated Client Success Manager assigned to our company, I am able to get all my copious questions answered quickly and efficiently while learning even more ways the Absorb platform can take our courses to the next level. Our CSM is incredibly patient, creative and proactive and made it easy for us to integrate from a previous platform.

Absorb LMS support is always prompt, courteous and helpful. Between having a dedicated account manager and access to tech support, I am always able to have my questions answered efficiently. I think they have some of the best support of any platform I've engaged with and think this is what makes Absorb LMS stand out from other competitors.

management system for over two years now. We switched to Absorb after being at another
LMS due to the many additional features that Absorb offers.

The reporting features are robust and assist our internal
stakeholders to understand where we need to devote more educational time as
well as which individual users may need additional support. Tracking user
engagement, course completion rates and department progress are some of our
most used reports and are all easy to pull on the backend or share with supervisors
in the manager view.

Absorb LMS Training

Absorb was able to provide an initial training of the platform, covering all our basic needs. Additionally, there are Absorb learning modules available for further learning that can be accessed at anytime. There is also the ability to review Absorb's extensive resource library to find the answers to questions/troubleshooting. Beyond that, we opted for the Premier Support so our organization has access to a dedicated Customer Success Manager.

Yes, the premium support from Absorb is well worth it as our dedicated Customer Success Manager understands our business needs deeply and offers suggestions to help grow our business and reach our KPIs. Having someone dedicated to our success to support our LMS is crucial to our current success. Being able to have someone to help troubleshoot and brainstorm with has made our LMS better than trying to do it without a subject matter expert.
Absorb Software support is the best customer and tech support I have ever experienced personally or professionally. They respond swiftly to queries and offer actual solutions. Recently we had issues with videos being uploaded in 4k version the standard, recommended size and Absorb support was able to identify the issue and offer concrete solutions and recommendations for what to use to resize those videos. This saved me time trying to figure how to do this and allowed me to get our courses back up and running correctly for our users with minimal downtime.

  • Learner View: navigating the course viewing screen (changing view to compact, side view, etc.)
Yes - The mobile interface works as well as access on a browser but to keep things easier we typically suggest our users save the website as an icon on their mobile device since the mobile app is branded as Absorb and not as the name of our LMS which causes unneeded confusion for our users.
