"Adobe Connect for Webinars"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

We have used Adobe Connect for webinar purposes and I love that we can quickly and easily connect with our employees virtually for meetings featuring important content. Not only can we meet live but we can then post the meeting for later watching.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

I haven't found any functions lacking from the platform. We have used the system a handful of times and have had little to no issues.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to gather together large groups of people extending beyond of main campus. Because we can easily gather people in a virtual platform, we've reduced the need to plan and coordinate multiple in person sessions across our campus and instead invite our employees to join us from their own workstations.

"Adobe Connect- Great for few, Slow for All"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

I like Adobe Connect because it allows many methods of interaction for our staff to engage such as polls, breakout rooms, etc. It also has a live chat box and can use video or phone conferencing as well.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

I dislike how slow Adobe Connect gets when there are more than ten people in a group. It also sometimes does not sync with all formats for presentation.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the problem of being a virtual environment by using adobe connect to hold our conferences when we can't be in person.

"possibility of recording the sessions"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

I like that the rooms can be private or public with access to guests or registered users in the case of those registered, there is a registration and access by username and password and in the case of guests wait for the hosts to authorize them.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

On ipad and iPhone, you need to install a specific application. And the fact that the host must accept the entry of an unregistered guest can slow down the entry when there are many people.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very useful to me the exclusive presenter Area, Which can only see hots and presenters to prepare the content.

"Adobe Connect Is Fairly Seamless"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

The quality of the audio is pretty good and the connection isn't prone to dropping out.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

I find the screensharing to be a bit glitchy and occasionally logging in isn't as intuitive as it could be.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Meeting in groups and one-on-one with colleagues and prospective partners. It saves a great deal of time and money - especially true in larger meeting situations and in vetting prospective partners.

"Quick, clean and gets the job done!"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

I love how easy it is to start conferences, to move from room to room and how customizable the rooms are. I like that I am able to go through presentations together with other representatives and share data.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

Some features (such as preferences for screensharing, audio and video, etc.) can be a little trick to access for the first time.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to meet and coach advisors, face-to-face and share important files and links. Also, love being able go through presentations together, in real time.

"Robust program for our webinars"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

Creating events in Adobe Connect is very easy, and I like that they can be duplicated so that I don't have to build out things like registration questions every time.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

I wish that the web room would open for participants 15 minutes prior to the start time of the event. Our attendees like to get into the web room early, but I have to set the "start" time of the event 15 minutes early in order for them to do so.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We recently transitioned to using Adobe Connect for webinar registration, in addition to continuing its use as our webinar host platform. Streamlined processes make it much more efficient to host webinars.

"Easy to use with great features but not always stable"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

I like the ability to video conference without specialist hardware. The ability to mute mic/freeze cam are helpful to preserve bandwidth. The overall layout of the GUI is pleasing.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

At times the system freezes and you are required to log back in to a meeting. Ther issues are not necessarily with the interface but with the backend system and available bandwidth. It is sometimes difficult to share large files and I have failed to share Powerpoint with Video embedded in it.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

The need to meet with colleagues in different locations/countries. The ability to share ideas and materials online in real time.

"Can be hard to teach some folks to use"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

It is easy to upload slides and to manage who is in the room. I love the option of having adobe connect call you instead of calling in. This makes is so easy for people who get confused about which conference line to call.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

It can be very difficult to teach some people to use Adobe. I have had issues with feedback from people who cannot learn to turn their computer speakers off when connected via the phone. Sometimes we struggle with getting the sharing started. It can be spotty.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it easier for us to share slides with coworkers who work remotely. It allows us to keep and save everything in meeting rooms.

"Expensive, but Full Featured"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

Adobe Connect provides a lot of options...for example, its screen sharing option allows you to choose whether to share your whole screen, an application, or just a particular window. It has all (or close to all) of the features I've seen with any other online meeting application and also makes Adobe and third-party add-ons available to provide additional functionality.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

Adobe Connect is very expensive. If you're not part of a large organization that can afford an enterprise license, this might not be the best option for you. Also, I wish it had better editing functionality for meeting recordings. Also, without a dual monitor, you can't see the meeting room while you're sharing your screen. I also wish that some of the advanced hosting/presenter features (the stuff that the participants can't see) were a bit more intuitive to use.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this for a variety of things... I work remotely (as do some other members of my team). so Connect allows us to meet online, sharing screens/documents and using webcams to give it more of an "in-person" feel. I also use it to host meetings for two different special interest groups that I chair (and, subsequently, make recordings of the meetings available to those who couldn't attend live), and I've used it to do online training. Some of my internal clients also use it to record demos, lectures, and other types of instructional materials for asynchronous use by learners.

"Handy for webinars"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

One caveat: I tried giving Adobe Connect away. Rather, I tried to give away the responsibility of running my team's webinars because to be honest, webinars are often boring, especially if you're only there to make sure things run smoothly. I even made an instruction manual to document all my lessons learned, but no dice. As a result, I am now The Adobe Connect Person at my office. Oh well, such is life. Here's what I like: 1. Works reliably well once you have all your audio settings configured. 2. Recording presentations is incredibly useful for reference and to share later. 3. Very easy to give or take away mic rights, start individual or group chats, or change attendee roles (promote participants to presenters, etc.). 4. You can create a custom URL for your event, which is nice for promotions.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

1. It can be finicky if you're using a browser other than IE (thanks, Microsoft). On the other hand, some of my colleagues report that it works fine for them no matter what the browser. 2. Your mic/audio settings will take some tweaking, but if you run through the Audio Setup wizard and then make sure that both your mic and speakers are turned on (those green button at the top of your screen), you should be fine. Do a dry run with your people before event day so everyone knows they can work their equipment. Most problems are with the user, not Adobe Connect. 3. If you're sharing host duties with a colleague, be aware that you can override each other's decisions re: slide-sharing, etc. so it's best to keep person as host and the rest as presenters or participants. 4. If you choose to have the chat log emailed to you, it arrives completely unformatted and looking like garbage, with no spaces between comments, etc. Shame because it looks decent in the actual chat box.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Overall, Adobe Connect works well for meetings and webinars, including slide-sharing and screensharing. If you're hosting a webinar, you can let participants talk back at you if you want (don't do this), or let them use the chat box to type their questions and comments (do this). It's handy to record presentations and let people who couldn't join play them back afterwards. We've found this especially useful as our participants and audience are international, so not everyone can join at any given time.

UI could use an update, in my opinion as a UX professional.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Have realized the benefits of connecting with my team remotely, I just used it this morning for a successful meeting in which we are trying to solve the business problem of getting users to utilize a social networking platform we implemented (ProFinda software).

"Adobe Connect Connects"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

What I like best is that it has been around for a while and has a great reputation, easy to use, the ability to record and download recordings as mp4 files. I also like the screen sharing options. Customer Service

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

What I dislike is the cost but we checked other services that offered less but did not not come with all the options Adobe Connect did. Would be great to have a dial in service becomes difficult when issues come up and you can tell if it's Adobe, the call services, or your company.

What problems is Adobe Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do a lot of trainings and recordings started having a number of issues and it was becoming more costly. Needed something more dependable with good customer services to help.

"Daily User, Overall Satisfied"
What do you like best about Adobe Connect?

The available options in the meeting room - presentations, video, audio, whiteboard, screen sharing. The ability to transfer "ownership" of the meeting and enable participants to access tools.

What do you dislike about Adobe Connect?

This may depend on screen size, but I have difficulty fitting all the pods that I want to use on the screen (discussion, chat, video, sharing area). I would like to be able to paste an image onto the whiteboard and get better results when pasting text.
