Mobile version was helpful to do training on the go. User friendly and easy to navigate for learners. > > **Cons**: More features required to set clear rules for course completion. Adding the option to put in an organisational training calendar would have been helpful. > > Great experience overall. Very user friendly LMS with good features. Could add more features to evaluate training effectiveness. ----- ### "Absorb has aged like fine wine for my company\!" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *1 July 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve grown to appreciate the simplicity of Absorb. Over the last 1-2 years we’ve started loosening our control of the LMS and letting other trainers tinker. They all remark how user friendly the software is, which in turn makes our job easier\! > > **Cons**: At times I wish there were more robust and native reporting options. But these types of reports are only prepared 1-2 times per year, so it’s not a big deal for someone that uses the software daily like we do. > > I’d happily recommend Absorb to anyone looking to start a LMS. It’s easy to learn and scale. It’s not the most complex software out there, but more complexity doesn’t always make for a better product. ----- ### "Still Absorbing the Capabilities" — 4.0/5 > **Annelise** | *20 April 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer support team is exceptional in their knowledge and willingness to help us improve our learner experience. The transition/onboarding support team member, \[sensitive content hidden\], and our daily success manager, \[sensitive content hidden\], are both very impressive and key to our growth and happiness with the product. The customer support is far and away the most impressive aspect of Absorb. Absorb is pretty feature-rich in terms of user management and controlling how content displays to our learners. I like all of the settings, though sometimes they are not always intuitive or well-explained within the system itself (which is why I appreciate our success manager so much). Employee training was relatively robust, but I find that most people prefer to get their hands dirty and will only consult the training as needed. We haven't encountered many bugs or issues, but the ones we have were explored and addressed very quickly by the team. > > **Cons**: I'm generally a little disappointed in the visual aspect of the Learner-facing dashboard. I would love to have more features, templates, and control over the user interface. It feels somewhat outdated and it's a shame that it is the first impression learners get when they log in to our system for the first time. I've long been curious about whether we could integrate Absorb into a UI designer that would give us more control. Some aspects of the learner experience also seem unintuitive and require us to support our learners with simple navigation. Finally, I really hate that AI ad that Absorb was running on streaming services for a while. It cheapened the product and made me question its quality. > > Our organization migrated our content from Docebo. We produce courses to support our programs with external learners, so it was important for the transition to happen smoothly. We were well-supported throughout that process and have been diligently adding new courses to Absorb in the 8 months since the transition. We've found it to be a powerful and easy-to-understand platform with capabilities we're still exploring and figuring out how to implement. We are looking forward to learning and growing with Absorb. ----- ### "People & Culture Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Lori** | *1 June 2026* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like best about Absorb LMS is its intuitive user experience and powerful AI-driven course creation tools, which make it easy to quickly build engaging, professional learning content while reducing development time. > > **Cons**: I haven't found anything that I don't like yet\! The system is intuitive and easy to administer with lots of option to create the best approach for our Risk Pool members. > > My experience with Absorb LMS has been extremely positive from sales to implementation. Everyone is knowledgeable and responsive, the online support resources are easy to access and consistently helpful, and Absorb Academy provides excellent training that equips administrators with the skills and confidence needed to effectively manage and maximize the platform. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/37819/absorb-lms?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/37819/absorb-lms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
