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 most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It is a stable product."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution can scale well."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"Persistence for webinar rooms Fast video playing Integration and reusability of the same webinar."
"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."
"Compared to what's out there the pricing is probably a good value."
"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."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"I previously used TeamViewer and Chrome Remote Desktop, and ScreenConnect beats out both as it's easier to use than Windows Remote Desktop (outside of a local network) and it's less expensive than TeamViewer."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"We are more efficient at resolving end-user tickets as a result of implementing this product, with our ticket count lower and our ticket throughput increased because now we just click a button to connect and we're off and running."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"Engineers have quick, usable access to clients' infrastructure, which was not so easy with GoToMeeting."
 

Cons

"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."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"The price is a problem."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"They could improve on the VoIP capabilities."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"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."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"It is expensive."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"It is priced fairly."
"Good price and works well."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"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."
