I particularly appreciate the customizable, Excel-style reporting interface, which allows for flexible data views and seamless exporting to Excel or CSV formats. This greatly enhances reporting and analysis capabilities. Additionally, the platform is very well-organized when it comes to setting up courses, users, and other features. The categorical structure simplifies configuration, and the quick-access tabs at the top provide a more efficient alternative to navigating through multiple layers of course settings. Overall, the design significantly improves usability and administrative productivity. > > **Cons**: While the platform offers a wide variety of reporting formats, there is an opportunity to enhance reporting capabilities further. For example, department-level reports could be more comprehensive by including detailed insights such as the number of courses completed, in progress, or not started for all employees within a department. The mailing system is highly effective overall; however, there are limitations in customizing certain automated emails, which can restrict flexibility in communication. Additionally, the observation checklist feature has some gaps. For instance, learners do not receive email notifications when reviewers provide feedback; this is a fundamental functionality that is currently unavailable within the LMS. Overall, when comparing the strengths and limitations, the advantages clearly outweigh the drawbacks, as the identified issues are relatively minor and do not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of the platform. > > I have had a very positive and seamless experience with Absorb LMS across all stages, from implementation and onboarding to training and ongoing customer support. The collaboration with the CRM team, including our regular weekly or biweekly calls, has been particularly smooth and productive. The Absorb team has been exceptional in ensuring a strong overall experience. They have been proactive in following up on tickets, accommodating our time zone requirements, and effectively coordinating with integration teams across different regions. Any initial challenges, bugs and issues were addressed promptly, either through quick resolutions or by providing suitable workarounds tailored to our organization’s learning needs. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the platform, find it to be excellent value for money, and are genuinely pleased to have Absorb LMS in place. ----- ### "Absorb LMS is highly recommended to move your business forward" — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *29 June 2026* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: the feature rich and fully customisable platform that make it specific to our business and allow a hightened user experience > > **Cons**: honestly at the moment ( we are 6 months into our contract) i couldnt pinpoint any downside to the platform > > Overall we have had a great experience with Absorb. From procurment to implimentation, we were supported and guided through the process. the product is fantastic and easy to use ----- ### "A genuinely impressive LMS that's delivered on everything we shortlisted it for" — 5.0/5 > **Nancy** | *26 August 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Multitenancy was essential for us - we needed separate branches so each of our clients gets their own experience while we manage everything centrally, and Absorb handles this really well. Just as important, our customers can administer their own users, assign courses, and run their own reports, which takes a huge amount of admin off our plate. Reporting in particular has been a standout. Our customers can see exactly what their users are and aren't doing in the system, and on our side we can monitor engagement both during onboarding and once customers are live - invaluable when a customer seems to be struggling and we need to check whether their people are actually engaging with the learning. On the course-building side, Absorb lets us create genuinely interactive courses rather than passive "click next" content, with quizzes to test knowledge retention. We've also brought in gamification through certificates and badges, and built proper learning paths/journeys rather than one-off courses. Automation has been a big win too - automated emails, automated reporting, and the ability to build our own custom reports without relying on Absorb support. The API integration with our own customer database has made onboarding new clients much smoother. I've now created a number of courses myself and found it genuinely easy to do. I've used the AI features for generating quiz questions so far, which has saved me time, and I'm planning to use the AI course builder for some soft skills courses soon - everything I've built so far has been technical content. Pricing is also very competitive given the breadth of features on offer, and speed/reliability haven't been an issue at all - no downtime or performance problems across any of our client branches, even during busier onboarding periods. > > **Cons**: Honestly, we've struggled to find anything major to fault. If anything, the platform is so feature-rich that there's a bit of a learning curve at first while you explore everything it can do > > We needed a single platform that could serve multiple clients under their own self-contained experience, while still giving us central oversight, and Absorb's multitenancy solves that completely. It's also solved the problem of customer self-sufficiency - our clients can manage their own users and courses and pull their own reports instead of coming to us for everything - and the reporting gives us visibility we didn't have before, both proactively during onboarding and reactively when a customer needs extra support. The sales and onboarding process was faultless from start to finish, and the combination of interactive course creation, gamification, learning paths, and automation has let us build a much stronger learning offering for our customers than we could before. ----- ### "Absorb - efficient and effective learning management" — 5.0/5 > **steve** | *19 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Firstly the number of features that were available compared to other LMX platforms. The extensive library allowed us to cover multiple geographic locations for mandatory training requirements and the AI features within create have proven to be a significant time saver when creating modules or supporting materials. > > **Cons**: Some of the dashboard views which contain all of the training added for employees to select self learning can lead to a bit of a visual overload when viewed on the employee dashboard. Just displaying the mandatory training and having everything else accessible via a folder option would be better for us. > > Exceptionally smooth and issue free from start to finish. I found the procurement process relative straight forward, Absorb were fully supportive of our needs and understood our requirements. Setup was super smooth and extremely efficient, from contract signing to roll out was less than a month which was impressive. ----- ### "Absorb: an extension of our own team\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *15 August 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absorb have a great culture to them, which initially drew us to them and set them aside from the more "hard-sell" options. We were able to demo and test sandbox modes and the different add-ons before purchase, ensuring we were confident that it would meet our requirements. Not only that, but since implementation, Absorb are constantly reflecting on their options and updating and upgrading all the time, with outstanding levels of communication; my favourite is their "Ideas Portal" where customers can suggest changes or updates to their platform, and you can chat with product and tech specialists and put forward a case, where they'll then let you know if it's a likely candidate for their roadmap. I've personally suggested several changes that they've rolled out, so it feels great to know they're listening, making improvements and also making the platform better for other customers too. > > **Cons**: Almost nothing\! It's incredibly intuitive and I love the navigation of it. I would like to see some updates to their Global Resource options (non-courses like links and PDFs) to include images to help improve engagement, but honestly this is the only major improvement I can think of. > > As our L\&D is incredibly small (2 of us), we love that Absorb feels like an extension of our own team, rather than an external company. It's very collaborative, communication feels genuine natural, and I'm definitely a big advocate for their product portfolio\! We've subscribed to a lot of their add-ons and Absorb Create AI allows us to save both time and money by creating content in-house, rather than outsource; over 400k saved in 2024 through doing so\! And as mentioned before, they're constantly updating and adding new features, so you can now add AI text to speech with different options and pauses, and generate quiz questions based on your content. Their CSM and Account Managers are always knowledgeable about upcoming rollouts, products and how this may fit into our training plans, with very reasonable costs that we can actively track ROI on. From an admin perspective, it's incredibly intuitive to use and difficult to break. They do have their own Knowledge Base and Academy where they have brilliant quality walkthroughs and elearning to help you get the most out of the LMS and add-on tools, but there's not much you can't pick up in 10 minutes and pressing buttons. I'm honestly a big fan and love attending their online workshops and Summit with guest speakers and chances to share best practice and discuss challenges and solutions across the industry. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/61763/absorb-lms?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/61763/absorb-lms) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
