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…

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

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."
"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."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution can scale well."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"We are more efficient at resolving end-user tickets as a result of implementing this product, with our ticket count lower and our ticket throughput increased because now we just click a button to connect and we're off and running."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
"It's very low maintenance."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
 

Cons

"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"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."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"I thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"However, the main issue I have seen with it is that, if they are having issues with their web browsers or network, there is really no way to connect with it."
 

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 priced fairly."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
