More Adobe Connect Pros →

"The SpeakerTrack feature is the most valuable feature.""We have a dual screen option to enable video and content sharing.""It was stable. So, I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.""The configuration is a valuable.""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 most valuable features of Cisco TelePresence are the basic standard features and the ease of use. Additionally, the configuration and integration are exemplary.""PresenterTrack cameras improve the meeting experience.""TelePresence allows our customers to have a quick meeting while traveling and still be effective. It saves time and money."

Cons
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement.""The price is a problem.""Interface and layout options could be improved.""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. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists.""Adobe's products are difficult to grasp.""It needs faster and easier upgrades."

More Adobe Connect Cons →

"The tool is expensive.""The price of Cisco TelePresence overall should be reduced.""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.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
  • "Adobe Connect is free of cost."
  • More Adobe Connect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Cisco TelePresence license is expensive and should be reduced. There is only a cost for the license and it is annually."
  • "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."
  • "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."
