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

  • I like that Thinkific allows users to pay a monthly fee rather than a percentage of courses sold. This was KEY to our decision to choose it. It was fairly easy to set up using the templates they offered, and our courses look nice and offer a good experience for our customers.

Cons

  • I didn't like that there were so few templates to choose from, and that certain aspects of the template aren't customizable by the average user (must hire a partner developer). Also, their checkout is very limited. They don't allow for B2B sales such that a buyer could purchase and register multiple staff people in courses. Finally, we need the capability to accept purchase orders.
