Overall Satisfaction with Absorb LMS

We use Absorb primarily for compliance training and Epic training (our electronic health record). Compliance-wise, we use Absorb's auto-enrollment rules to assign required courses upon hire to employees automatically. Then, the renewal cycles on the courses notify users when training is due so they can stay compliant year to year. We then use the data and reporting to ensure managers can track their staff requirements.

Pros

  • Deep configuration features
  • Excellent reporting options
  • Top notch customer service
  • New features rolling out regularly

Cons

  • Built-in assessment builder could use an upgrade
  • Add push notifications to managers for certain events, like monthly compliance summaries
  • Overall, Absorb offer time-saving capabilities on enrollments and tracking that frees up staff to perform their primary job tasks.
Absorb is easily useable for learners and administrators. The learner portal looks great and can be configured to show required training, featured courses, and recommended courses. The admin side uses an Excel-like report view which can be customized by each admin to reflect what data they want to see and track. Admins can take action from any report to enroll, re-enroll, un-enroll users into courses and edit attendance.
  • Content Libraries (Absorb Amplify or 3rd Party Libraries)
  • Reporting & Insights (Absorb Analyze or Absorb Amplify Direct)
  • Ecosystem Integrations (Absorb APIs or Absorb Connectors)
We integrate our Skillsoft library to offer personal development training to staff. Some of our departments prescribe this type of training to staff, such as our customer service areas.
The Analyze reporting is deep, and helps us to pull data however we need it, either on the fly or as a scheduled report. It's a must add-on. We use Absorb's API to integrate with our HR system and to perform course and user maintenance.
Our Absorb CSM is fabulous. She proactively reaches out with new updates, and is highly responsive. It's almost like she's part of our company.
When we were looking for a new LMS years ago, we met with a number of vendors. Absorb stood out to me because the functions and interface just made sense and it met our budget well.

Yes

Would you buy Absorb LMS again?

Yes

The automation Absorb offers is excellent and has saved us tons of man hours and eliminated many manual processes. We're able to assign courses and report on progress not only for compliance purposes, but new system rollouts, personal development initiatives, policy reviews, and more.

This is minor, but we used to have annual deadlines for courses every fiscal year, and Absorb does not support that type of setup. Instead, everyone is on their own renewal cycle based on when they last completed a course.
