Emad Mokhatab - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution & Software System Architect at Shaparak
Stable product but hard to integrate
Adobe Connect is not bad for connecting and integrating for remote connecting and video streaming. I think it was not bad, actually.  I don't integrate it in my project. Some other guys work on that. But I think they had some sort of problems with integration with that product. But, they managed to…
OSCAR DE LA PENA - PeerSpot reviewer

One-click meeting access and seamless integration enhance video conferencing experience
Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow. The end user experiences delays when using WebRTC, sometimes taking one minute or more to receive a connection. This issue is mainly due to Cisco taking a long time to download and start the WebRTC client on their devices. Ensuring it is embedded in the device could help.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"The solution is very stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it highly reliable for our training and webinar needs."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The speaker tracker feature in Cisco Telepresence is highly valuable, especially the ability to track multiple participants and change focus during meetings."
"The configuration is a valuable."
"PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience."
"Cisco is a leader in video conferencing solutions because they apply the latest technologies to their devices and services, such as artificial intelligence and versatile functionalities."
"It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"Telepresence's most valuable feature is keeping highly paid employees, such as executives, on the ground instead of wasting time flying around the world. So if you have the right telepresence plan and form, it's not just the video cameras and the systems behind them, it's the way you lay out your meeting room.You can have multiple offices interconnecting in a single meeting, and it looks like everybody's in the same big conference room together because the telepresence yields such a fantastic amount of clarity."
"The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature."
"We have a dual screen option to enable video and content sharing."
 

Cons

"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced."
"The calling features can be improved."
"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."
"The tool is expensive."
"I was in touch with one of our clients and they mentioned that they would like to have a holographic video conferencing. It would be great if that feature would be added."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve its integration capabilities."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, with ten being expensive. It was complex with badges and certificates. Too crazy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"We used high definition, 1080p, but again, it required license purchases. For example, with three licenses (TP licenses), each allowing one 1080p screen, if I had six participants, I'd need to lower the resolution to 720p or lower to accommodate more participants. More licenses meant more cost."
"The price of Cisco Telepresence is high, especially in Brazil. However, the quality of the product justifies the cost."
"I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is expensive, therefore I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."
