  • 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.
