"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server.""What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration.""The UI is user-friendly and very good overall.""You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings.

Cons
"Interface and layout options could be improved.""It needs faster and easier upgrades.""We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement.""The price is a problem.""Adobe's products are difficult to grasp.""We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities.""Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility.

More Adobe Connect Cons →

"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier.""In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required.""A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app.""What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions.""Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
