Absorb LMS

Vorteile

I liked the support, and my accounts support team specifically the most. They were always available and patient with anything we needed.

Nachteile

We didn't have enough use cases to do enough in the system to really find something we didn't like.

Warum Absorb LMS gewählt wurde

Arcoro didn't have the functionality we needed, and out contract was expiring so we moved on.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

We were moving over to ClearCompany for ATS and Performance. Not only did Absorb check the boxes we needed, but it was the preferred LMS vendor to pair with CC then.

Vorteile

The Absorb Create tool allows you to customize training content in an engaging manner while not having to spend days upon days to create a ten-minute course. Their existing courses take the guesswork out of foundations for the whole organization, leaving the customization levels up to you.

Nachteile

I think getting a better understanding of what is an added on cost in the pre-sales process would be better. Overall, all aspects of sales and implementation were excellent, but it was so much information that I didn't really get granular with what was included in the base bucket cost versus what was an additional cost.

Vorteile

What I appreciate most about Absorb LMS is the invaluable support provided by resources such as [sensitive content hidden]. Their guidance has been instrumental in our journey with the platform, particularly during the initial stages when onboarding took longer than anticipated. Their expertise has enabled us to overcome challenges efficiently and make significant progress, ensuring that we maximize the benefits of our Absorb LMS account.

Nachteile

While Absorb LMS's customizability is undoubtedly a strength, it also presents a unique challenge: starting with a clean slate. Unlike more rigid systems with predefined templates, Absorb LMS offers a blank canvas, requiring organizations to invest time and effort into tailoring the platform to their specific needs. However, this process, while initially demanding, ultimately ensures that the learning experience is precisely aligned with the organization's goals and values, resulting in a more effective and engaging training program in the long run.

Vorteile

One of the aspects I appreciated the most about the Absorb LMS is its user-friendly interface. Navigating through the system was intuitive, which made it easy for both adminis and learners to access courses, track progress, and engage with content seamlessly. Additionally, I found the customizable reporting tools to be exceptionally useful. The ability to generate detailed reports on learner progress, course effectiveness, and other metrics allowed us to make informed decisions and tailor our training programs effectively. Overall, the combination of usability and robust reporting capabilities made Absorb LMS a valuable asset for our organization's learning and development initiatives.

Nachteile

While the LMS offers many valuable features, one area tat could be improved is its performance on mobile app. Addressing it could enhance the platform's versatility and make it even more adaptable to diverse organizational requirements.
Also, if they had full integration with Opensesame my content management would have been smooth.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Cost, performance, customer support and user-friendliness.

Vorteile

Versatile. Great support. Leader in the industry. Lots of content available, as well as the ability to add our own content.

Nachteile

Learner AI assist would be great as navigation is not always intuitive to some learners. THis is on the roadmap, so that will solve that.

Vorteile

The functionality is very useful. Custome reporting is essential for ROI and I love the support I receive from Claire.

Nachteile

I would like a little more functionality in reporting, being able to customize them to be more targeted to meet our needs. The videos for basic functionality are not helpful at all. Finding information on the fly, if you need it right away is impossible.

Vorteile

Good User Interface,
Good Course Management.
Good sync with BambooHR on most things.
Good Learner interface.
Good Customisation options.

Nachteile

Difficult to manage blended learning.
Some factors in course management could use improvements. (Managing assessments)
Cannot see how many absences from courses that users have.
Some issues with how it syncs with Bamboo(overwriting course information)
Customer Support is non existent. 10+ days to resolve any issues. Most issues I have to try and resolve myself by resetting and that causes me other issue.
Can sometimes be 'buggy' and will introduce random bugs which can be time consuming to fix and result in me resetting the system sync.

Vorteile

the simplicity for the end user and for the training coordinators

Nachteile

some inconsistences in the user fields. they enforce to create more custom fields than necessary
