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…

Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty
I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"Now our students can complete their required training in less time and make the organization more productive, as they are able to much more quickly apply what they have learned and make immediate use of it in their projects and with their teams more effectively."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"The solution can scale well."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"Scalability is good as you can host webinars with hundreds of participants without any lagging."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling, which is quite simple and you can schedule a regular session with multiple occurrences."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
 

Cons

"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"The price is a problem."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."

"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."

"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"The technical support is quite bad."
"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."
