What differentiates Absorb LMS from other similar products?

It has most of the features that all LMS have. I have seen multiple different LMSs, and this one seems to have the most features, allowing users to adjust based on their needs.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

There are many, but I appreciate the supervisor's approval process before enrollment.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Not being able to modify all the User experience jargon, for example, the "Add to calendar" option for the learner. It should have a hover effect stating, 'Until the manager/supervisor approves, this button will be unavailable.'

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To give it a go, and know if you have any recommendations, that they listen to the feedback board that comes in, and they implement if there are enough votes.
