When assigning courses you can only assign to a whole or sub-department, you can exclude.

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.

Absorb has made it easy to use their tool for both our internal and external customers. The ease of use provides the learner with a positive user experience.

This is not the most intuitive product to use. It is not typo-friendly (which is bad for someone with dyslexia).

Along with ease of use, each window is crisply design to feel innovative and supportive.

It looks good, works well (has a few bugs they are actively working on), and does almost everything we need as a company.

Resources don't have a thumbnail- makes them look empty/incomplete. No place for text on the home dashboard.

Great ability to deliver bespoke courses to customers and internal staff. Easy to use and deliver amazing interactive learning experiences.

Ease of importing courses from various types of APIs.

Also, dashboards of repotting have various column options that make it difficult to see information in one place.

Absorb LMS is exactly what we needed to streamline our training deliver consistently and reliably. Learners love the ease of use and our admins love the reporting.

However, with their APIs and direct database connections we have succeeded.

Most of all, the people we have had the pleasure to work with from onboarding, professional services, account management, client success have all been absolutely wonderful.

It is a bit difficult to generate a filtered transcript. There are a lot of filters to choose from so it can be somewhat overwhelming.

Great Software, Suffers terribly from its customer service.

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.

Our overall experience has been good and we are looking forward to the new capabilities and features Absorb is continually to invest in. Happy & Productive Learning.

The overall experience with Absorb has been very supported from the sales team, the on-boarding and technical assistance.

I have not had any complaints about the learner interface from my end users.

Ease of use as both a learner and administrator. ADP integration and automation.

Absorb LMS - Great Product and Customer Service.

I appreciate the personal relationships we have at all levels within Absorb. Along with consistent communication and asking us what would make this product better.

Supports SCORM and xAPI (Tin Can). Supports Instructor Led Classes.

This LMS is the best or near the top of providers and tools if you use instructor-led and online learning. For the pricing, you won't find a better tool.

Easy to use with a straight forward interface.

All of the support team has been great to work with. The help desk tickets we have submitted have all been resolved in 24 hours or less.

Some of the question types and lengths are confusing. It is sometimes unclear which questions are required or their weight.

The mobile player (HTML5) is terrible, and they are really late to improve that given the death of Flash and how most browsers will automatically pull the not-so-great HTML5 player.

We've had to use Internet Explorer as the main browser for this and have recently had trouble with newer computers not connecting via their internal mics.

We are just in the final phases of the project implementation, and so far, we love the system. We have developed several courses so far, and have gotten positive feedback from our employees.

It's easy to create exams and push them out to the required audience.

If your phone rings, or a noisy car drives by - and you are reading a long slide - you have to delete it all and start the slide over.

Ease of use and ability to rapidly create content, also over the last few years built out many new functionalities and was impressed with their improvement.

You're able to make sure people watch the videos and answer the questions at the end. Easy to find out people's scores and message people to take training.

It gives great analytics for what content is being consumed, and the viewing details inside the content, and give guidance as to what's important and what is compelling.

Large process and product trainings can be an ineffective and inefficient use of time considering schedules and makeup sessions for a large sales organization.

It has proven to be a very user friendly tool which has boosted the knowledge and capabilities inside our organization.

I enjoy the reporting regarding views and that Brainshark can help me do so many things to be sure my audience is learning from the content I create and share.

We use brainshark to make sure people do their trainings prior to a big event (SKO, Team Meetings, Etc.). We are able to get 100% people to do it and so far we've been happy with it.

The course catalog and transcripts tab in Salesforce can be clunky and unintuitive. Curriculum and transcript tabs are difficult to organize.

No phone numbers to talk with someone, only chat that you have to wait for someone and if you don't see they are writing, they close you out and you have to start over.

Clearly shows due dates and required testing courses. Easy to use video and audio in testing.

Absorb reps consult with you about your company size, budget, eLearning goals, usage patterns, and other considerations to craft the unique pricing model that works for you and is flexible enough to accommodate future growth and changes.
