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."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is a stable product."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"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 is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"It's very low maintenance."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"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."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"The price is a problem."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"Mobile interface."
"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."
"We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop."
"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."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
 

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."
"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 fairly."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"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."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
