A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten 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

"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"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 product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"The flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."
"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
 

Cons

"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."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."
"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"I would like the presenter able to view the attendees list at all times without having to pause. The guest login could be a little easier."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
 

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."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
