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

"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"It is a stable product."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"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."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"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 worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"I have no issues with the performance and no issues with the way it works."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
 

Cons

"I would like to see btter integration."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"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 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 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."
"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."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"It is not so stable."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
