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…

It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"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."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"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 trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"It's easy to set up."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
 

Cons

"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."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
 

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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
