I do not find it intutive and so I spend too much time creating items that are not as easy to create from as I would like to see.

Vorteile

What I like most about Absorb is how clean and user friendly the learner experience is! Our goal was to minimize manual task for our admin team and provide our learners a more trendy and all-in-one platform to house their learning materials and certificates. Absorb checked off all our requirements, which are unique, and provided us solutions to all our questions.

While the Knowledge Articles are helpful and a great tool, they are at times overwhelming because the large number of them can make it hard to locate the exact help you need.

Warum Absorb LMS gewählt wurde

There were too many limitations and there was a fee for any recommendation. Also, the customer service was poor.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Docebo was more expensive, and we did not need the additional feature that they offered.

Vorteile

The Admin panel is very intuitive for self learning and navigation. The flexibility in the end user view was so configurable that we made this an very easy to use system for our audience.

Nachteile

The reporting structure within the Admin panel is extremely rigid. Ultimately, this was not as useful for us and we had to export all of our information out of the system and manage it elsewhere.

Vorteile

The customer service was tops from purchase contract to implementation! Easy to set up, customizable for our needs.

Nachteile

Some aspects a challenge to design to our needs. A little programming will help.

Wix

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Had all features we were seeking. Customer service and price were good from the get go.

Vorteile

Helped with course creation, easy enrollment, and helped with our hands-on training teams with managers manually updating certifications.

Nachteile

Not able to edit multiple courses for multiple employees. This was helpful for trainers/admins who did hands-on training for employees who were enrolled in the same courses and completed them on the same date.

Vorteile

I love the ability for students to emotionally engage with the course objectives through video storytelling. I love the self-grading aspect and user-friendly interface for the students. I appreciate new features such as Analyze to monitor student activity.

Nachteile

While it is pricey, I have found much value in the cost. I wish I could make some changes to the flow and student engagement activities.

Vorteile

The platform is well crafted, providing options for just about everything I needed. Whenever I had a need, there was a way to get it done.

Nachteile

The mobile app needs some work. Other than that, everything worked very well.

Vorteile

I love the ease of access with everything in absorb. The customer service is best in class, and there are always resources available to support.

Nachteile

Would love more in depth trainings for daily users.

Vorteile

Pulling reports are easy and can export them into excel or set them up for sending out on a timeline to others via email.

Nachteile

Assigning sometimes is difficult when you have to choose a date and not a month and day. Doesn't allow for flexibility.

Vorteile

We now have one complete year of use with Absorb LMS. All of our training cycles have been successful. There were no issues with courses completing. If problems did come up, it was because of access getting into the system (a quirk of our integration), not a technology problem with the LMS itself.

Nachteile

Wish the standard version came with more of the advanced features available at the buy-up plan.

Vorteile

Communication and support has been amazing, with never doing anything like this before, the team have been more than happy to guide us through the basics. The system is easy to use and allows us to track all areas of our staff training.

Nachteile

The AI course creation Tools can be limted but I am sure this will develop quickly.

Vorteile

Reliable LMS. The continual enhancements that continue to improve the Admin and the Learner experience.

Nachteile

Difficult experience a few years ago with the Professional Services team. Since that time, they have addressed the BI tool challenges that we identified to the PS team.

End of Life for Kenexa had been announced.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Absorb met our requirements and seemed more intuitive.

Vorteile

That is user friendly. We can run reports. Send automatic notifications to all the learners.

Nachteile

The capability to be integrated with other platforms.

Vorteile

Our biggest pluses for Absorb are the integration with Salesforce and users being able to take courses directly from salesforce and the ease of use for our admins to create and manage courses.

Our implementation experience with [sensitive content hidden] as our Implementation Manager was exceptional. We always felt informed, supported, and capable of transitioning to our new LMS.

Customer support ranging from the development team to the billing team has been outstanding.

Nachteile

The only thing we'd love to see is the ability for the Absorb design/customizations be able to transfer over to the Salesforce experience for users, for course branding consistency.

Vorteile

I appreciate the tool for its comprehensive features, particularly in course creation, enrollment management, and reporting.

Nachteile

It's data filtering takes multiple steps to get specific information

Vorteile

The majority of the features are very intuitive to utilize, and our Rep [sensitive content hidden] is amazing with the level of support she offers.

Nachteile

I think a few features are missing that other LMS systems, like post-hiring day enrollments not tied to another course.

Vorteile

Extracting data and records for dashboarding is extremely easy with top notch customer service.

Nachteile

Sometimes it can be confusing to navigate the admin interface

Vorteile

The ease of the set up, building of the platform, and the support received from our Absorb Team.

Nachteile

There were a few snags in the process that pertained to our custom use of the platform. However, those issues were quickly addressed and solutions were offered by the team.

Vorteile

Absorb stands out for its intuitive content creation tools, making it easy to design engaging learning materials with minimal effort. The interface simplifies the process, allowing for seamless customization of multimedia elements. Additionally, the platform's responsive design ensures that content looks great, enhancing the learning experience for students.

Nachteile

Can't say I dislike anything right now. I will come back and update with time.

Vorteile

Really helped us get off the ground when we really didn't have much in place previously.

Nachteile

Reporting or data tracking can be a headache

Vorteile

It does the job. The course creation feature is good, the authoring tool doesn't disappoint, and the free content library is perfect. This is very important for companies that need to deliver training in no time. The performance is good because it's cloud-based, so it scales well in case of need. The LMS could also be a source of revenue thanks to e-commerce tool. It comes with a lot of integrations so the system can communicate with external environments.

Nachteile

The look and feel appears dated, despite constant improvements, and the administration tasks need to be done according to Absorb's logic and it could be very different from how other LMSs work.

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

Absorb allows my company to track our customer learning progress to see if they are taking time outside our account manager meetings. It prevents repetitive meetings reviewing the same feature numerous times because customers need time to review topics.

Nachteile

It takes time to set up, but you get out what you put into any product.

Vorteile

Absorb LMS is a highly user-friendly learning management system that offers a wide range of customization options. The platform integrates seamlessly with other systems and tools, making it a versatile choice for organizations. Absorb LMS provides excellent customer support and training resources to ensure a smooth implementation process. The reporting and analytics features are robust, allowing for detailed tracking of learner progress and engagement. The mobile app is well-designed and provides learners with easy access to course content on-the-go. The gamification features are engaging and encourage learners to stay motivated and complete courses. The system is scalable and can accommodate the needs of both small and large organizations. The platform is constantly updated with new features and improvements based on user feedback. The pricing is reasonable and provides good value for the features offered.

Nachteile

A big challenge with Absorb LMS is the initial setup process, which can be time-consuming and requires a lot of input from the organization. This can be frustrating for users who are eager to get started with the platform and may not have the resources or expertise to complete the setup process quickly. Additionally, some users have reported issues with the system crashing or freezing during use, which can be disruptive and impact productivity.

Nachteile

Elle a besoin d'une connection internet stable.

Vorteile

I like the customization and implementation process.

Nachteile

There are a lot of functions that need to be developed further for ease of use.

Vorteile

Absorb Create is a great tool to use to create content.

Nachteile

I have not at this point had any cons regarding Absorb.

Vorteile

J'aime beaucoup le fait de voir la façon dont ça facilite les cours en ligne en tout cas c'est une particularité

Nachteile

Le seul défaut jusque là est que son interaction est souvent imprécise

Vorteile

In case you're wondering, the LMS stands for learning management system and this is exactly what it is. I can't tell you how many times I've literally depended on this e-learning software to help jog my business / customer focus point of view. This is a very helpful system, it'sseems almost customized to your cloud-content.

Nachteile

I only have one issue with this system, and of course it would be pricing. I'm a small business, and I work alone, so I was lucky to receive the free trial that I did because it cost around $12 to $17 (I believe) per active user to operate the system per month. It's a top of the line piece of software however the pricing, surely there's another way?

Vorteile

The Absorb LMS is the most interactive platform for online learning. Lots of courses on the particular technologies are easily available. Offers challenging and productive Assessment and Quizzes. Content management and storage are done easily on Absorb LMS.

Nachteile

There's nothing to dislike about Absorb LMS. It is efficient and widely used LMS. Customer service are highly interactive and gives resolution properly.

Vorteile

Absorb LMS has the excellent customer support. Integration with PowerBi is easy. Training and reporting are boosted with the help of Absorb LMS through automation.

Nachteile

I haven't find anything to dislike about Absorb LMS. Wherever I was having difficulties the customer support provides excellent solutions.

Vorteile

It's integration with ADP is considered to be essential for our team. It has the flexibility of features and is robust and stable. The intelligence search feature making it possible to search the most accurate courses. Videos are so much informative.

Nachteile

It takes more time to configure the setup. The course organization can be done more properly. The modules are needed to be create by our team only to import the data from LMS.

Vorteile

The features most impactful in Absorb LMS are customizability, scalability, analytics, and reporting. Users can easily customize the look and feel of the platform to best suit their organization's needs. Additionally, it can be scaled up or down depending on the size of the organization and their training needs. The analytics and reporting tools provided by Absorb LMS make it easy to track learner engagement and course effectiveness. Additionally, Absorb's API also allows organizations to easily integrate Absorb into existing business processes. Finally, Absorb LMS is incredibly easy to use and provides a straightforward user interface for authors and learners.

Nachteile

One of the areas of least satisfaction with Absorb LMS is the amount of setup required to configure the system. This can be particularly challenging for non-technical users and requires a fair amount of time and energy to get the system settings just right. Additionally, the interface of the interface and navigation could be more intuitive.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Absorb LMS stood out to us as a comprehensive, cost-effective, and intuitive platform that addressed all of our training needs. It provides a comprehensive range of features and customization options, making it easy to customize and configure the system to our specific needs. The customization flexibility also allows us to create automated rules and automate much of the training process. It offers scalability for growth, flexibility for changes, and has robust security measures in place to protect our data. Finally, the Absorb LMS is one of the most cost-effective options on the market. That combination of features makes it an easy choice for a reliable and successful implementation of our online training.

Vorteile

There are so many great things I can say about Absorb. The absolute best feature of the software itself is the individuality it allows us to create for users. We have some standard courses that clients are interested in, however, the biggest pull is allowing us to make the experience feel custom to them. Our customers can easily navigate their own portals effortlessly. Customizing the templates and organization of courses is the personal touch that makes this software so great.

Nachteile

There are a few key features that I have noticed are not a part of Absorb software that could really be useful. The templates and options on how it is set up are pretty standard, however, certain options such as the calendar for example. Our clients love the calendar. However, you cannot really edit the calendar for full customization. I think if all of the template options had more range in customization it would be a bit better.

Vorteile

We chose Absorb as our first Learning Management System. The design isn’t too complex, which made it easier to transition previously manual instruction to online learning. It is intuitive enough that we can allow non-trainers to create content without needing to be system experts. While we were not initially satisfied with Absorb’s customer service, within the last year (2022), they have become extremely responsive to all requests for assistance and also invite feedback and recommendations for improvement.

Nachteile

Sometimes the system design has what seems like obvious gaps or things that don’t work as smoothly as we would prefer for learning management. We would also like to see much more effort in the user experience to allow better filtering and course organization.

Vorteile

Absorb has such a wonderful client portal to submit feedback. There's an ability to submit feature requests and have other clients talk through the pros/cons and use cases for those items. I've had calls with Absorb developers based on the feedback that I had submitted and those features then went forward into the production environment. It is awesome to see how involved Absorb is in the client community.

Nachteile

There are not many features that are problematic. I wish there was a more seamless way to allow a learner to take one course in place of another. If a learner submitted a third party certificate for a course that is equivalent to an in-house course, the admin needs to manually award completion for the in-house course. It isn't exactly clean and can lead to some confusion when auditing learner completions to understand which version was completed vs credited.

Vorteile

The Absorb LMS is easily customizable and Admin/Learner user-friendly. This allowed me to expand my Training effort and capabilities with not only scope but greater efficiencies in that I can customize the LMS to meet the varying needs of my different stakeholders.

Nachteile

If there is a negative, it is in the format of the Training Transcript when printed, or exported as an electronic file. The courses appear in alphabetical order without the ability to filter for a time period, or sort chronologically. This frustrates Supervisors who then have to review the entire transcript to find what training an employee has completed in the last year. I understand the Transcript are being reworked by Absorb for 2022, so this may become a non-issue.

Adobe Learning Manager, Cornerstone LMS und Litmos

Warum Absorb LMS gewählt wurde

I was seeking a fully supported proprietary platform with the enhanced features and functionality my training program had grown to demand.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

Absorb met the overlapping sweet spot between cost, features, supported company size, and alignment with the structure of our training program.

Vorteile

Easy to use
Solid onboarding training for admins
Provides content hosting
Supports SCORM and xAPI (Tin Can)
Supports Instructor Led Classes
Zoom integration
BambooHR integration
Salesforce integration
Overall mature platform
Great customer support

Nachteile

Look and feel customization lacks flexibility
Some workflows could be streamlined, especially for course management
No actual course authoring functionality: users need to import learning objects created with external tools, such as 3rd party eLearning authoring tools. This is fine for our needs, but it would add flexibility if there was at least some content authoring functionalities.

Cornerstone LMS und Litmos

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Absorb LMS

The intersection of ease of use, features, customer service and costs of Absorb was superior to all other alternatives we considered. Some were superior in terms features but were too expensive for our needs. Some were less expensive but the customer service was a concern. Some were not as user-friendly. It all came down to that equation: ease of use + features + services + costs. Absorb LMS hit the sweet spot for us.

Vorteile

I love that this product is customizable according to your organization's needs. The business model is to teach you how to fish so that you own the system and can make branding updates, page templates, email templates, etc. You can customize the Learner Home to your preferences. You're not stuck with an LMS in a box where you have to rely on customer support for everything. In addition, the system is simple to learn administratively. I'm most impressed with its reporting function which has been very complicated in my experience with many other learning systems. Also, the Global Resources field is awesome so you don't have to pretend documents always belong with a course.

Nachteile

The ILC course feature could use more flexibility. Would be great to have users be able to register for more than one ILC session within a course. I end up duplicating a lot of courses just to add the ability to register for more sessions.

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

Absorb is really easy to use and navigate. We purchased it for the ability to have "department" or sub-companies. We provide training materials and the platform to our clients so having a multi-tenant LMS was critical. I love the ability to customize colors and layout for various clients. The onboarding process was pretty smooth and the staff is attentive.

Nachteile

My biggest disappointment was that that the multi-tenancy or segregating by departments did not function as we expected causing us to have to adjust our offering and prices for clients. When assigning courses you can only assign to a whole or sub-department, you can exclude. So if 99 customers get the library and one doesn't, you have to allow 99 clients instead of just restricting one. When restricting departments they can manage only the users and courses within their department. However, this does not apply to the mercury module, Global Resources, Competencies, Categories, Message Templates, Ecommerce, and Public Catalogs. So we had to disable access to department admins for these features otherwise they would see other departments (clients) information which is terrible!!!! So instead we have to manage all of these features for our clients. So every time they want a billboard changed we have to do it for example. It puts a lot more management on our behalf that we weren't expecting. other little things we don't like are:
-no course number field
-can't control the order modules are consumed ina chapter only the order of the chapters.
-can't change the reports on the dashboard or re-order it
-resources don't have a thumbnail- makes them look empty/incomplete
-no place for text on the home dashboard.
-roles are not department-specific
-can't change password expiry beyond 7 days
-task functionality is way too basic
-no ability to integrate tasks or due dates with calendars

Vorteile

Ease of use, no matter a user or administrator. Quick and responsive page loading, and simply ability to export data reports. Advance API and direct database access capability for growth and in-depth training program management and reporting. Customizable interface and deployment options with integration to other content provider libraries. Simple enrollment & curriculum rule writing and deployment.

Nachteile

Some difficulties in the management and deployment of blended learning within these challenging COVID times. Would like to see more out of the box higher level training program reports for a department, group, or training center. Could use some more options for defining departments, roles and user privilege's within the system.

Vorteile

The Admin interface is very user friendly. It is easy to create and publish a course in minutes to reach my learners immediately. The dashboard reports has been my favorite item recently. I am able to create and share specific dashboards that are impactful to our internal business units. Reporting is also a key feature for our admins. We are each able to create, save and share specific reports as well as have them sent on a re-occurring basis, saving us time and energy.

Nachteile

Initially, the course creation set up was a bit daunting, many pages to flip through. However, Absorb has updated the process and the Admin interface and changed its functionality to more align with a daily Admin. The update was well planned and thought out so that it did not disrupt any functions I was currently using.

Vorteile

1. Ease of use - it's in the cloud.
2. Simplified admin functions
3. Decent reporting tools.
4. Customized landing page.

Nachteile

1. Responses from Absorb can be slow.
2. Customer service isn't the best.
3. Can suffer from service outages.

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
