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…

It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

"It works, it's reliable."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It's easy to set up."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
 

Cons

"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
 

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."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
