Absorb LMS has all the functionality that is now expected from a premier LMS. But it also has superb customer support. At a fair price point
OTEC has included Support within it's Absorb package. The L&D Team is small and agile with a large number of clients and learners. Therefore it was important to the organization to have Absorb's support expertise to allow OTEC to provide the best learning environment for clients and learners
No
The team had to migrate multiple legacy LMSs into Absorb. This needed to be completed within a matter of weeks during set up of the platform and for multiple periods in the following months. The support provided by the Absorb team was excellent - clear, timely, thorough and reassuring
- Enrolling and Managing Users
- Report - it's excellent
- Content curation
- None
Yes, but I don't use it

- Customization (learner and admin side)
- Re-enrollment capabilities
- Messaging/mass messaging
- Enrollment rules for every function, not just courses (i.e. Manager dashboard)
- Reporting
- Engagement with learning
- Compliance trainings

- Improved compliance numbers
Yes.
Yes
Most of the time, yes. We had found an issue where some SCORM files did not work in iFrame, only pop-up. These were mandatory trainings and caused widespread problems for learners. While the support team was helpful, it was frustrating that the bug was not actually fixed until months later, along with the quarterly update. This was a bug that was affecting many learners and affecting our compliance scores. It impacted learner's trust in the platform, and we didn't have a fix until months later. While the support team is very helpful, the platform is buggy at times.
We were launching a complex course type with a third-party vendor. The third-party vendor did not do very good quality control for the SCORM file, but we needed to ensure that the bugs were with the file, not the Absorb platform. The Absorb support team went above and beyond to ensure our confidence in the platform, testing different versions of the course ahead of time and even clicking through the course to ensure it worked properly. The issue wasn't even with the platform, but Absorb's team went above and beyond to ensure our confidence in the platform.

Great all-around LMS
We use Absorb LMS for staff development purposes as well as for compliance training. It has been a great resource for both of those purposes; it allows us to automate our required training while also providing a course catalog for optional staff training. Replacing the manual process that we were doing has been an absolute game-changer for us.
- Automation; the ability to set up rules for enrollments, reporting, etc...
- Reporting; there are a large number of data points available to report on and even have emailed on a cadence you can define.
- User-friendliness; on the Learner side and the Admin side Absorb is easy-to-use and very intuitive.
- Reporting; I set this as an area that Absorb is doing well, but it's also an area that I would like to see more customization in. There are a lot of built-in reporting capabilities, but it would be nice to have more Salesforce-esque reporting capabilities built-in
- Variables; it would be great to have more variables with setting auto-enrollments, reporting rules, etc.. similiar to Appsheet or low-code software where you can use more IF/THEN/AND/OR capabilities.
- It's not needed, but a better built-in course creation software, similiar to Easygenerator would be a great addition.
- Automation. Especially automating enrollments.
- Integration. The ability to integrate with other course creation vendors (LinkedIn Learning, MinistrySafe, custom integrations, etc..)
- User-friendliness. The ability for anybody regardless of tech background to be able to jump on and use the LMS without needing to be training on how to use it.

- We have saved countless hours with the ability to automate our enrollment process.
- The reporting, passed due notifications, and ability for supervisors to see/follow up with their direct reports has helped ensure compliance.
- The ability to integrate with other content providers for general training has freed us up to focus our time and effort on building out more departmental/organization-specific training.
We evaluated a large number of LMS options, and what set Absorb LMS apart was not only the advanced functionality built-in but the fact that as advanced as it was still very easy to use as a Learner or as an Administrator. We needed something that could easily be integrated via API and SSO but also could be used on the Learner-side by somebody that was not tech-savvy.

For the creation and supervision of training initiatives.
You can create courses with animation, quizzes, stories, and other learning experiences using set or customizable lesson plans. By coordinating internal and external resources, setting up training programs or learning pathways at regular intervals, and managing our capacity, we are able to achieve our goals.
On websites, email, intranets, and the Koantic LMS Cloud interface, we may save, distribute, and incorporate electronic learning information.
- The workers may immediately identify the type of training they must complete and the deadline for doing so.
- All training events that take place within the company can be registered.
- More reports updates would be nice.
- The ability to translate across languages would be helpful.
- The support team is still not performing at its best, they could do better.
