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…

Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

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."
"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."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"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."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"It is a stable product."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
 

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."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"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."
"The price is a problem."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"It is not so stable."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
