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…

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine 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

"The solution can scale well."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"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."
"The flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"Recently I needed to remotely access the software at my office, and I was able to connect using the software and access the information I needed within a minute or two, rather than having to drive to the office to get into the computer system."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"We switched over from LogMeIn Rescue, which was okay but became very expensive, and while ConnectWise is our backup method and we don't use it as much as we do our RMM software and remote support, it has definitely really helped in terms of speed and ease."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"Being able to quickly remotely access other computers from anywhere, supporting our other users is simple and quick to do."
"The product works very well and is easy for end users to install."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN; it's super simple and super easy, so that's really where the advantage comes in for us."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
 

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."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"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."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"I was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"The ability to autolock Windows desktop on remote computers after a remote session disconnects would be ideal."
"At the moment, I cannot use my own domain to install it and use it with my clients."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"However, the main issue I have seen with it is that, if they are having issues with their web browsers or network, there is really no way to connect with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"It is expensive."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"It is priced fairly."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
