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

"We have a lot of people using the product, board members and senior staff and we also have support staff running the meetings."
"The flexibility that Adobe Connect offers is incredibly valuable, in that it allows you to customize the experience for your requirements."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"It is a stable product."
"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."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"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."
"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."
"Extremely user friendly"
"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 gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"It's worth using over the others because it makes unattended remote access faster and simpler than the other products I tried."
"Compared to what's out there the pricing is probably a good value."
 

Cons

"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"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."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"The file transfer function could be a little more robust for multi-file transfers."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"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 recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"It is priced fairly."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
