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.

"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"The price is a problem."
"MX800 comes only with one available DVI port. A few more HDMI ports will improve the system's capability."
"The calling features can be improved."
"Cisco TelePresence could improve the WebRTC connections, as they are quite slow."
"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."
"The price of Cisco TelePresence overall should be reduced."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"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."
"The price of Cisco Telepresence is high, especially in Brazil. However, the quality of the product justifies the cost."
"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."
"I will rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
