Solution & Software System Architect at Shaparak
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

"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."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is a stable product."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution can scale well."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"I am overall satisfied with the product."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"Engineers have quick, usable access to clients' infrastructure, which was not so easy with GoToMeeting."
"If you are looking for a quick and easy web-based connection session without the need to be on intranet, then this is the solution for you."
 

Cons

"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"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."
"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."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"The ability to autolock Windows desktop on remote computers after a remote session disconnects would be ideal."
"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."
"My immediate supervisor said it was lacking in documentation and had too many words to describe how to use the product when crafting instructions to send to our third party consultant who was going to connect to our system behind our firewall."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"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."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"It is priced fairly."
"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."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Good price and works well."
