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

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

Pros

"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"It is a stable product."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"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."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"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."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"We use GoToWebinar to do live pitch webinars and sales webinars, we use it to create all of our courses as well, we do training courses and our business pretty much revolves around using this tool for most of what we do."
"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."
"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."
 

Cons

"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"I think that both the interface and the layout options, the ability to organize the different components for an online meeting on your screen, could be improved."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"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."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"In comparison, I don't feel that GoToWebinar has the range of customization and it feels quite antiquated in comparison to Teams."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
