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 flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The solution can scale well."
"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."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"You can set up the remote access and get pretty granular as far as permissions go, but it's just been a fantastic tool and I would highly recommend it to anybody."
"Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."
 

Cons

"I would like to see btter integration."
"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."
"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 solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"At the moment, I cannot use my own domain to install it and use it with my clients."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"The ability to autolock Windows desktop on remote computers after a remote session disconnects would be ideal."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"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."
"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."
"It is priced fairly."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
