Absorb LMS Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Absorb LMS is how user-friendly and intuitive the platform is—both from an admin and learner perspective. The interface is clean and customizable, which makes it easy to organize content and track learner progress. I also really appreciate the reporting tools—they're robust but not overly complicated, which helps when sharing data with stakeholders. Plus, the customer support has been consistently responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven’t found anything I dislike about Absorb LMS. The platform has been intuitive and reliable, and it’s met all of my needs up to this point. I’m still exploring all of its features, but my experience has been positive overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost, the great client success manager that assisted me was amazingggg!! Thanks Tom

What I like best about Absorb LMS is its clean, user friendly interface and easy navigation. The most helpful feature is the dashboard, which tracks progress, sends reminders, and keeps our learners up to date on things by utilizing the Billboard feature. Upsides include flexibility, accessibility on any device, and powerful reporting tools that help both learners and administrators monitor performance and enhance the overall training experience. Additionally, Absorb LMS supports interactive learning through our self paced course, videos, and assessments, making it engaging and efficient. The system’s automation features save time for administrators by managing enrollments, certifications, and updates seamlessly. Its integration capabilities with other tools also make it ideal for our organization here at Aarons aiming to streamline training, track outcomes, and promote continuous learning within a well structured and motivating digital environment.

What I dislike about Absorb LMS is that while it’s generally user friendly, some functions can be confusing or take multiple steps to complete. The least helpful aspect is the limited customization available for course layouts and reporting, which can restrict how information is displayed or tracked. Additionally, some users experience slow load times, especially when accessing larger courses or data heavy reports.

The administrative settings can also feel overwhelming for new users due to the number of options and configurations. Another downside is that communication tools, such as messaging or discussion features, could be more interactive. Overall, while Absorb LMS is efficient and organized, it would benefit from greater flexibility, faster performance, and improved customization for both learners and administrators.

There's so much functionality that you can pretty much do anything with the software, to create a fully customisable platform! The guides are very helpful and our implementation manager Cliodhna was amazing! No question she couldn't answer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially there felt like a lot to learn, which was a bit overwhelming, but once I started using the software it got much easier and I realised I did understand what I was doing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company culture is one thing we always strive to improve. Using Absorb has been such a huge factor in helping us keep our culture alive. We love utilizing Absorb Amplify to help employees develop as an individual. Using this feature to promote courses that might be relevant after company Lunch & Learns, Trainings and Leadership Discussions.

Another great way Absorb helps us grow is through Absorb Create! It's been a great tool to use when creating trainings that are branded to us. Utilizing the A1 feature to help refine the trainings we already have into something greater. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not a lot of features on Absorb that I would catagorize as least effective or least used. Our managers, admins and employees love all the unique features and platforms. If I had to say anything about dislikes, I would say the Reviewers abilities.

We did have an issue where our Leadership team was not able to review created trainings because they did not hold "Create Licenses" and our login is set up through SSO. So, they do not have individual login credentials. It makes it really hard to get these trainings up and running if we are having to create new logins for leadership and have them remember another password. That was the point of using SSO.

I am very new to the world of Learning & Development, and work closely with our L&D Manager. We utilise your LMS (Absorb) but are very new to this system, having never administrated or built on before. Marcia has always been patient and helpful as we learned how to set up new curriculums, departments, connectors with our HRIS system etc. The list goes on! We could not have achieved what we have to date without her guidance and support. I feel that we have a brilliant working relationship and look forward to our meetings, knowing that she does not judge or get frustrated with our barrage of questions. She is extremely knowledgeable and honest when she is not able to perform a task (due to her access levels rather than knowledge on Absorb). She is brilliant at problem solving and troubleshooting any issues we encounter.

She truly is a great asset and the best part of our Absorb LMS experience because we know she's got our back to help guide us with her calm, steady and friendly partnership. From day 1 of working with her, she has helped us set up the basics and continue to build on our learning from the basics, all the way up to building curriculums, integrating with our HRIS system etc. Marcia has personalized our service and why we will advocate for us to stay with Absorb LMS.

It can be difficult to navigate and build understanding without the support from Marcia, and utilising the Absorb guides alone do not make much difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb’s course and program creation features are highly flexible, allowing us to design tailored learning experiences and journeys that meet diverse learner needs. The platform also provides strong visibility for admins, instructors, and managers to track progress and engagement, while offering seamless communication tools that make it easy to connect with learners directly through the system.

Absorb’s quarterly releases are prioritized based on client recommendations. Over the past year, many of our limitations have been addressed through new features, updated functionalities, or effective workarounds. We would confidently recommend Absorb LMS to any organization seeking a fast-evolving learning management system with excellent support services, and that values owning the management of its platform without being tied to a configuration team—as is often the case with ERP/SAP systems.

Another strength is the dedicated customer success support we receive. Our Customer Success Manager, Sharon, regularly checks in with us to ensure we are not facing any issues, discusses our plans for learning activities implementation so she can proactively support, and keeps us up to date on product enhancements. This level of partnership has been a key factor in our positive experience with Absorb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback is the limited functionality of the mobile app. However, for our organization, encouraging employees to access the platform through their mobile browsers has proven to be an excellent solution. The interface adjusts seamlessly across all search engines and devices, and, in fact, mobile browser usage has become more popular internally than desktop or laptop access.

Absorb has really helped us better our learning product to our employees. It allows us to truly know where our people stand and what we need to do to get them to where they want to go. It is a simple to use product that our teams are using all the time. Our CSM Stephanie has been awesome in support and helpful with any questions that arise.

We have very little issues with Absorb. The only things are small one offs that are super specific to our business and we understand the priority level these would have to Absorb. Overall we are very happy with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb LMS answered a lot of questions we were facing as an organization in how we train and develop our employees. Absorb is not only a fantastic repository for learning resources, the built in tools make creating new resources and experiences for our teammates so much easier and more streamlined. We use the Absorb Create authoring tool and have had great luck in course creation using many methods (Ai, templates, etc.). We also absolutely loved both our sales representative, Mike Kuphos, and our Implementation manager, Joe Zizian. Joe has been a great help even since we went live with our LMS and were moved into the maintenance stage! We implemented the LMS in 4 weeks due to his guidance and willingness to move along at a quicker pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any downsides I can think of! It can be tricky to find certain things at times, but I find the search feature to be very helpful within the Admin view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The LMS side is a solid and reliable platform. It allows me to publish and manage content, enroll learners, generate reports, and now even create content. Our CSM is great and always helpful and expediant in solving issues that come up or situations that require brainstorming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects of the platform are not very intuitive and often require workarounds. For instance, managing group enrollments can be cumbersome—you have to navigate into groups and view the users in order to enroll them all at once, instead of simply using the 'enroll users' feature to select a group or individual users directly. Additionally, the notification system, particularly the emails sent out during enrollments, could be clearer. It would be helpful if, when publishing, a pop-up or a visible tile indicated whether emails are being sent out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Absorb LMS is a reliable and user-friendly learning management system. What stands out most is how easy it is to manage training programs while saving time. Its automation features such as, automatic enrollments, reminders, and various type of reports help to reduce manual work. The platform also works well on mobile devices and connects easily with other systems. Hence, with the dynamic dashboards and useful data insights, organizations can make better decisions and improve learning outcomes. Overall, Absorb LMS offers a professional, efficient, and modern solution for delivering and tracking employee training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. However, I feel some of the features could have been readily available together with the monthly subscription, however its usually associates with cost factor on some of the key features, such as Absorb content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
