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…

Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

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 flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"It is a stable product."
"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
 

Cons

"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"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."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"The price is a problem."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"We have had issues with stability."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The solution must include archive options to save the recorded meetings for future reference. The recording functionality can benefit our team by improving how meetings are recorded and shared. Previously, only admins could record meetings, sometimes leading to issues if recordings were missed or not shared properly. The recent update now allows hosting GoToMeeting sessions with the ability to delegate recording rights to other team members."
"It is not so stable."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
 

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