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…

Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"The solution can scale well."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is a stable product."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"It's easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The price is a problem."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"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."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"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."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
 

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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
