About

BrainStorm is an enterprise software adoption platform designed to help organizations turn AI and technology investments into sustained changes in employee behavior and software usage. The platform combines personalized learning, communications, adaptive workflows, surveys, analytics, and ongoing reinforcement to help employees incorporate new tools into their everyday work. BrainStorm's ADOPT framework guides users through five stages—Awareness, Desire, Orientation, Participation, and Transformation—to move from initial exposure to lasting adoption. Organizations can personalize programs according to employee roles, readiness, behaviors, and usage rather than delivering the same training to every user. Adoption analytics connect learning activity with software usage and business outcomes so organizations can measure whether training is producing meaningful behavioral change.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use, customize reporting for the organization and having options is using other features like AI to meet the our organization needs.
  • Absorb LMS also provides detailed reporting on course progress and performance, making it easy to track compliance and identify areas that require more attention. In addition, gamification and mobile learning features increase employee engagement, ensuring that training is interactive and effective.
  • It is easy to use. Upload courses quickly. Nice interface. Build classes quickly with authoring software.
  • Creating ad-hoc reports is very easy. Setting up enrollment rules is very easy. My Client Success Manager is extremely knowledgeable and a tremendous resource.
  • The ease of use. So, user friendly and the constant updates and improvements. Then the training sessions when the updates are wonderful. The Absorb academy is great as well.

Cons

  • Unable to delete courses without deleting user transcript history.
  • One of the limitations I would like to address is the user interface, which at times can be a bit overwhelming and not as intuitive for some users.
  • Better functionality for e-commerce. Wished it had capability to better design forms, templates.
  • Cost for maintaining inactive users. Limited number of courses/curriculum to be selected in Activity Reports. Limited notifications for past due vs rehire instances.
  • Everything is an add on. Wish there were packages however the customer support to create our package has been excellent.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to deploy and add organizational entities. We can allow team administrators to handle a lot of the administration effort which relieves IT to do other IT things.
  • Customer success manager accessibility and involvement. Their support team members, the ticketing system, and their self-help community forum for questions and suggestions.
  • I loved the organization of the videos. I could search for a topic and then find that it was part of a series of videos on that topic. That would encourage me to start at the beginning and learn even more than I initially set out to learn. That is a super subtle way to get information to users without requiring them to know what they don't know to start with. I loved the reporting aspect on the back end. I could see which courses my users were most involved with easily. Every aspect of the back end administration was really easy to learn and the support from Brainstorm when I had questions was second to none. It was just a terrific experience all the way around.

Cons

  • Not a Brainstorm problem but sometimes teams onboard but then do not use the training resources.
  • Early in our time with BrainStorm, we had a revolving door of customer success managers, making it hard to build relationships and gain traction on plans. This was ultimately resolved satisfactorily.
  • I would have like it to be more robust as an LMS. It has that capability, but I believe it is first and foremost a content library and secondly a content host. It is a little limited as an LMS compared to other software out there, but their content more than makes up for it.
