Our organization has been using Adobe Connect as a hosted service for the past 7-8 years.
We are now moving to Webex Teams, formerly “Spark”. This move will provide us with the full WebEx + Webex Teams functionality, as well as significant savings thanks to some aggressive incentives and negotiations.
As this move is imminent, I have been tasked with informing our users of this change and what it will mean to them. Basically, I will have to “sell” the change to the user base, even though it is a done deal as far as upper management is concerned. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find much information to do a good Compare/Contrast between the two services.
Have any of you made this change, or have good information to share that can be used to do a decent compare/contrast between Adobe Connect vs Webex Teams?
Thank you in advance.

For small meetings, Skype hosted and also for large meeting broadcast with white glove service as it might require event need.
it_user865410 (Network Engineer at Xpertcast Pvt. Ltd.)Hi,
If your users are more computer savvy and with good connectivity WebEx looks great. WebEx would be great for on-demand eleraning and small conferences. It's a little different to Adobe Connect and may take awhile for the users to get used to. There will be some functional differences depending on how you are used to delivering meetings and content. Unfortunately I only have the view of a IT guy who evaluated, both systems, without any real user reviews. There are pros and cons of both, probably you have to get a trial version of Webex and compare your existing adobe setup with the features available.
We kept using Adobe Connect and never made the change.
Cheers,
Peter NicolasMy experience with Webex comes from when I was with PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers).
Though similar to GoToWebinar, it has a few extra features which I used. For example, attendees were able to see the names input by all the others in that seminar. Webex, also allowed for easy polling of participants with a green check for Yes and a red X for No.
What are the pros & cons of using WebEx for Video Conference Calls?
To give context, I work in the ICT Consultancy Industry, mainly working with Defence Supply Chain, and Advanced Manufacturing.
Thanks
