Overall Satisfaction with Absorb LMS

I use Absorb LMS for selection and data management, valuing its ability to host online learning and interact globally. It's user-friendly for learners, offering offline access without Wi-Fi. However, admin usability is complex and could improve. Initial setup was positive, thanks to onboarding support.

Pros

  • Offline usage.
  • Ability to link to online platforms.
  • AI creation.

Cons

  • Admin usability.
  • Global messaging bulk.
  • Grid lines when using create.
  • We've increased users by 10,000.
  • We've been able to give access to programmes to people living remotely.
From an admin's side, 4. It is not user-friendly at all.
  • Content Creation (Absorb Create)
  • Reporting & Insights (Absorb Analyze or Absorb Amplify Direct)
  • Social Learning (Absorb Engage)
We use create to make gamification in our programmes. These are positively received.
Quick response and they try to assist or find a workaround.

I appreciate that Absorb LMS is user-friendly from our users' perspective. Our users find it easy to navigate and use, even without an active Wi-Fi connection, as they can log in offline and complete programs. This functionality greatly enhances accessibility and flexibility for learners. Furthermore, the initial setup with Absorb LMS was notably positive. The onboarding experience provided by the LMS team was helpful and was further enhanced when we received support from our dedicated service manager, ensuring a smoother implementation process. I find the admin usability of Absorb LMS to be challenging. It's quite a complicated system to understand, with a steep learning curve. There's constantly something new to learn about how it operates, which can be overwhelming. Overall, it could be more user-friendly.
