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…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable product."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"We can share all files on Microsoft Teams directly. It is integrated with Outlook."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"Team sharing is really cool. It's great to have remote access, document sharing, and collaboration during calls and meetings."
"The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."
"The corporate world widely accepts the solution for virtual meetings. Also, it has good availability."
"The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging."
"Microsoft Teams is an easy-to-use solution."
 

Cons

"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"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."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved."
"The solution should standardize the options across platforms. What I mean by that is, sometimes, on the mobile, there are not the same options and set up features and functions as are available on the web or on the desktop app. Everything should have the exact same functionality, otherwise, it's difficult if some people are on mobile and others are on desktop."
"Screen sharing sometimes causes the solution to crash."
"Microsoft Teams could log in faster."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams to make a lighter application and drop some features."
"Adding and integrating more apps like SharePoint on Microsoft Teams is making the solution very slow."
 

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 bit more than moderately expensive."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"It is expensive."
"Microsoft Teams is a cheap solution."
"I don't think the solution is as expensive as big Webex licenses. It doesn't usually offer one-on-one licenses, so it's hard to compare. It's more expensive than the Google equivalent, but you can't replace Microsoft Teams with Google's offering."
"Microsoft Teams comes free if you're using it in an organization."
"We have a license for the solution."
"The tool comes as part of the Office 365 bundle and you don't have to pay anything extra."
