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.

I get to host everything in one place. No more going back and forth between my digital products host and my email service provider.

As soon as I get the income from the shop to leave I will. But I'll stick with it for now.

Ease of use both for administrator and course/community members.

Enjoyable user experience for my customers. Awesome interface in the student side, beatuiful and clear.

AND the price is very affordable too. Great customer support with tons of tutorials.

Fast, live support, rapid improvements from the development team, and marketing help with case studies, interviews, and free webinars.

Podia took away all the stress of my self-hosted Wordpress membership site.

I enjoy podia because it's simple and beautiful and easy to use. It's the Apple of teaching software.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, i tried a lot of website to try to sale my online courses : Podia is the best. The UI and the UX are amazing.

It is so easy to use it makes you want to create courses and make good use of it. I made my monies worth on the investment within the first week.

This is the place to do it. The videos and chat help will help you make the course happen.

Super intuitive to use, requires almost no tutorial. Although they have excellent documentation for any possible question.

I can say so many good things about Podia. It has helped me build my business with so much ease.

I cannot have made a better choice when I left other platforms for Podia. Customer service is just superb and great listeners.

Additionally, I like the fact that Podia gives its users unlimited hosting of video content through one of the premium video platforms: Wistia.

The price, super affordable and simple. No complications like others.

The perfect program for setting up an online store.

IT has everything I need o sell my course and digital products with ease. THE customer service is outstanding, beyond outstanding.

A solid platform for packaging and selling your knowledge into courses, memberships & more.

Ease of use, always updating to make better, listens to users, great customer support, you can create courses & digital downloads.

The customer service goes above and beyond to help you out. And the design is the cherry on top - Podia has a design that is both warm, friendly but also slightly off-the-wall and quirky.

I like that getting up and selling is easy. I appreciate their integration with Stripe versus relying on a proprietary payment software (like Shopify) because I might not trust it as easily.

Well known competitors (which I won't name), have a ton of features but makes it a lot more complicated, not as intuitive and a bit more difficult to use it.

I highly recommend Podia as an option for an online store due to the price of their product and the ease of use.

At the begining I thougth the missing of some functions were a Con.

Initially, I found some of the settings confusing and counter-intuitive.

Very easy to use, great customer support, beautiful product pages and store fronts,  easy to navigate for customers.

I'm glad I find easy all in one solution that help me to build my online business.

I have since referred to a few people and recommended to everyone when asked. I currently do all my website management and love the ease of use and simplicity of design.

Thank you Podia for such a great product I look forward to what 2020 brings, please accept crytpo payments in the future.

It's easy to use andvery affordable. I just started my online business and Podia has everything that I  need to start a successful online course business.

I love that Podia is always making their product better by adding more features and making the ease of use for us better. They offer many ways to organize and sell my digital products.

I am using Podia as a virtual classroom for my students and I love it. And my students love it even more.

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.
