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.

One feature we are thrilled about is the webinar integration -- it's perfect for us.

We like the mobile responsiveness and the ability to access clear content from anywhere.

The inability to track user completion at the section level. As of now, we are only able to track if a user completes the entire course.

The course build-out functionality is very easy to use and offers many ways to engage the learners. Reporting feature is robust and provides the ability to customize your reports based on your need.

We have been happy with the software and they have helped us grow as a company. Their customer services is very responsive and the account management team has been much more helpful in the past year.

It seems hard for our users to understand and use the system as well. I get complaints almost daily about it.

Customer support is great. And they're continually enhancing/adding features to make the experience better for admin and learners.

I love the Office Hours as well. The support team puts this together for weekly customer education on new and current features.

The simplicity of adding and deploying our courses as well as managing users.

It's easy to use and customize things, and when I don't know how to do something there's a robust help site I can go to for information.

The biggest pro has to be course authoring. The built in features are robust and easy to use.

The home/manager portal buttons atop the page are confusing and change based on where you are on the site, this is confusing to most of my internal users.

Customization of the frontend was a significant plus for us along with the ability to integrate our own SSO.

The wistia app was very helpful in uploading/storing and moving videos over to the TI platform. Visually the program looks very nice.

Thought Industries produces beautiful user interfaces and pages and is pleasing to use as an administrator.

Great solution for revenue focused learning businesses.

I have been very pleased with the operation of the software and the functionality for our team/ clients.

I love that we're able to offer some education for free, and other courses at a cost for users.

Number of bugs here and there. Sometimes difficult to make specific requests from clients.

The integration with Salesforce is also worth the extra spend. It creates a dynamic link between your Sales/Service pipeline and training data.

We are able to provide good accurate up to date content for our users and it helps us tailor relevant content that helps to drive that area of our business.

Absorb LMS understands that it's imperative to meet you where you are. That's why we offer a more tailored pricing approach based on your input and our recommendations.

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.
