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

"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"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."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"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."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"The solution can scale well."
"ScreenConnect is our backup solution for remote access."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"The product works very well and is easy for end users to install."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
 

Cons

"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"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."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server; much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"There is one back-end issue that I am running into at some of locations where I login to provide support, and sometimes port 443 is blocked."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
 

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 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."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Good price and works well."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
