What differentiates Absorb LMS from other similar products?

The ability to support remote, field based employees who do not always have internet access. Support for office based employee is great, but the support for our field employees is what led us to choose Absorb.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's ease of use. From implementation, roll-out, and ongoing support. This was the smoothest roll out I have ever done, with very few challenges, and those were minor and quickly resolved. Ongoing support is exceptional as well.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It can be click heavy for admins. But, Absorb has a good product roadmap and they listen to their clients.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Use their implementation services and client support. Both of been worth the extra money we spent.

Pros

Helps Innovate
