> **Yann** | *August 6, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great interface both on the user side and the admin side, that's easy to use and accessible to all level of expertise
> 
> **Cons**: E-commerce limitation, missing some standard upsell option and some training display limitation, it's not possible to create multiple landing page with training open to the public that is different to each page
> 
> I've had a great experience with the Absorb LMS, it's ease of use and great capacity has enhance our total training experience

### "Highly recommend Absorb" — 5.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *September 22, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Absorb LMS is a user-friendly learning management system that offers several advantages for organizations looking to streamline training and development. The platform is clean and easy to navigate, making it accessible for both administrators and learners. Absorb allows for tailored learning experiences with flexible course structures and automated enrollments. Most importantly, it streamlines administrative tasks like course assignments, reminders, and certifications.
> 
> **Cons**: Biggest drawback is that it's too customizable. It can be a learning curve to get setup and use. The implementation team was helpful but it's taken us several months to get it to where we want it to be through trial and error.
> 
> Would highly recommend Absorb for all levels of organizations. The built in content and content creator are such a value add. Absorb has done a great job of not making you pay for something you won't use.

### "Why would I suggest Absorb?" — 4.0/5

> **Mekhala** | *April 4, 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Robust reporting and Dashboards - Implementing robust reporting and dashboard features in Absorb LMS involved configuring custom reporting tools and dashboards to track learner progress, performance, and engagement metrics effectively. Customizing reporting for license usage and billing to meet specific organizational requirements has posed complexity, data integration, and usability challenges. Close collaboration between the Absorb billing and internal delivery teams was essential to define reporting requirements and configure custom reports accurately.
> 
> **Cons**: e-Commerce - Business to Customer is one of our lead profit generation initiatives, and we want to create a unique learning experience for individuals interested in shaping their DEI learning journey. Challenges were introduced in secure payment processing, and outdated knowledge-based articles were found in Absorb. Extensive collaboration was required between the finance, IT, and Absorb LMS specialists to identify the payment issues. A temporary solution was enabled to capture the payments that still pose a risk. &#10;&#10;Integrations admin authorization - While Absorb has essential integrations on a button click, it has dependencies on the admin authorization between different systems. Admin within Absorb should also have admin privileges in other systems, which is not always the case within the organization.

-----

### "Accounting Manager" — 4.0/5

> **Fatima** | *October 9, 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: You can assign training based on departments. Set deadlines and have a little questionnaire.
> 
> **Cons**: There should be limitations on how long the training video should be. some divisions put up videos that are over 2 hours long.&#10;&#10;Absorb should advise that training is absorbs in smaller doses.&#10;&#10;Documents for the videos should be easily visible as well after the video ends instead of watching the video again and waiting for the steps.
> 
> Good - Training video's are done pretty quickly.
