“Why We Chose Absorb: Robust Built-In Features and User-Friendliness Combined”

5.0
Sep 24, 2025
We selected Absorb from an initial list of over 300 possible choices for an LMS. The reason we chose Absorb was how robust it is in built-in features as well as the ability to expand it's usability via their API. But user-friendliness was also very important for us, and Absorb is definitely that.

3.0
Sep 9, 2024
It's a user-friendly platform with customizable content and well organized learning paths - making it easy to navigate for all users. It's robust reporting tools provide valuable insights into learner analytics. There can be occasional technical slowdowns with certain features not performing to the capacity they should be. But not to say this is a great starter LMS for any organization.

Absorb LMS Likes & Dislikes

Like

Our organization has very specific needs for our LMS and Absorb is very flexible in how it can be used, either by the built in logic for auto-enrollments/reporting, or it's API for more complex use cases.

Like

It's very customizable and can be set-up for our organization structure. It's accessible for both administrators and learners using the platform awnd the reporting tools are robust and customizable for what you are looking for.

Like

Easy for non-technical staff to use, lots of options to customize the landing pages by role or audience, text-to-speech AI voiceover makes course creation fast to build and and easy to update.

Dislike

There is a long list of ideas submitted for new product features and so the chances of it being customized for your specific use-case has a low probability or if anything a long turnaround time for that update. The price of add-ons is a little high from my perspective, things like advanced reporting, etc.. The support is great for the most part, very responsive and helpful, but you do get that occasional support person that is not quite as knowledgeable on a specific area as they should be.

Dislike

Some of the minor issues were the occasional slowdowns in some of the features. The implementation and sales process took longer than expected and it requires some training to work with some features.

Dislike

Absorb Create built-in course builder has very basic features, with no object layers for selection or stacking control and a very simple timeline for animations.

    The ability to modify enrollment options, email notifications, document uploads and the shape of the course itself is really useful. Implementation and set up was super easy, and the customer service and support made it super easy to customize the platform for our use. Absorb LMS is also very easy to use, which has been a big plus.

    Limited Industry-Specific Content and Integration Challenges Noted in Experience

    4.0
    Nov 14, 2025
    Overall positive experience, as with any software it really depends on who is on the file, the onboarding too is about 5 months - I'm not sure how you could do it right otherwise. The software is generalized and doesn't have as much build=t content for my specific industry as I would like but overall was a significant improvement. Great solution for basic and scalable getting started.

    Customization and Course Building Flexibility Stand Out in Absorb LMS

    5.0
    Sep 8, 2025
    Absorb LMS is intuitive and easy to use. The customization allows you to mold the platform into basically whatever you can imagine. The course builder is robust and the timings mean animations are quite easy to create on the site itself without having to use any software.
