Adobe Connect

Avantages

Adobe connect is great for our hybrid work environment, when we have specific trainings that require workbooks now we can all be in one classroom setting and know that everyone is there and being attentive

Inconvénients

Adobe connect does seem a bit dated compared to newer softwares and it’s UI shows that, doesn’t have the best video quality either which is why we use it to partner with zoom and open the connect separately

Avantages

One of those is that the webinar layouts and the engagement tools in Adobe Connect are customizable. Users are able to create virtual rooms with customizable layouts for trainer needs like breakout rooms and polls. Virtual sessions are dynamic with such engagement tools as live Q&A and interactive whiteboards, the engagement tools, to make sure participants remain engaged in the webinar.

Inconvénients

The audio quality could be improved in one area, as it can sometimes lag in larger sessions. The process of setting up new webinars can also be streamlined, and the time spent on administrative tasks should be cut down.

Avantages

We can chat share screen and video.easy to invegate

Inconvénients

This seems to go in and out a lot .Making it hard to stay engage/

Avantages

Adobe Connect boost team collaboration, online meetings, instant messaging and file sharing all-in-one place.

Inconvénients

I have zero flaws subjected to Adobe Connect at the moment.

Avantages

With Adobe Connect, I am able to leverage web, audio and video conferencing features which makes it super easy to conduct corporate meetings online.

Inconvénients

There has never been any issue apart lack of offline access which I personally don’t feel so much since I use WiFi at work and from home.

Avantages

Adobe Connect gives me the ability to conduct online meetings, send and receive DMs over the internet without integrating with external apps.

Inconvénients

I use Adobe Connect on a daily basis and I rarely encounter issues at all.

Avantages

Adobe Connect offers DOLBY voice and HD video qualities when conferencing which makes it a robust tool and an alternative to Zoom Workplace.

Inconvénients

Apart from the fact that it can’t function in absence of internet connection, I totally have zero drawbacks subjected to AC.

Avantages

Adobe Connect allocates instant messaging, live chat and team collaboration tools in one single integrated repository.

Inconvénients

It requires internet connection to use Adobe Connect but this isn’t an issue not unless in a remote area.

Avantages

It has ever been seamless to enhance team collaboration and conduct virtual events with Adobe Connect from late 2022.

Inconvénients

I have used Adobe Connect for two years now and I have not yet encountered any flaw.

Avantages

Adobe Connect makes it super easy to conduct online meetings, call via audio & video and share large files all-in-one place.

Inconvénients

I slightly dislike that Adobe Connect requires internet connection to perform even a mild aspect.

Avantages

This app helped me flawless attend my lectures without having to worry about connection issue. I particularly like the app, which means I can not worry about accidently closing a browser tab

Inconvénients

I have seen a few, very rare glitches, which I have had to load in, but this has never been an issue

Avantages

What I like about Adobe Connect is that you can create virtual meeting rooms where participants can share documents, presentations, and videos. They can use live chat or polls, etc., to interact.

Inconvénients

What I don't like is perhaps the interface, which, in my opinion, is not very engaging.

Avantages

I didn’t find anything unusual about it. It’s just another meeting tool.

Inconvénients

It’s not as popular as Zoom and Webex and when rest of the colleagues and stakeholders prefer Zoom, AdobeConnect has lost its worth and popularity.

Avantages

I had never used this product until the pandemic period, but the fact that some lessons continued online and the lessons continued with the ability to watch live and recording through this product showed that the product is very good if it is used actively and functionally.

Inconvénients

I saw that there were problems in sharing files and annotations. I witnessed that the files sent to a 40-person class could not be forwarded to some of my friends. Also, it's not a bad feature, but I think it would be good to have 2 and 3x viewing formats for faster viewing of recorded videos.

Avantages

Adobe Connect makes a colorful splash into the world of virtual meetings and "sharing from a distance", Adobe with their sharp design and cheery, colorful user-interface. While better end-to-end experiences for smoother video and audio are promised, it was really their easy to personalize stage that allows each presenter to design a shared experience to fit their needs for that particular meeting. The favorite feature is definitely the customizable pods that allow a much needed dose of fun to be seamlessly integrated to any presentation and guarantees your audience isn't actually engaged and involved instead of "just there".

Inconvénients

The Adobe website is very lacking and antiquated compared to the modernity of their new Connect platform. Although they are NOT lacking in online explanations, guides, videos and "how-to's"...the problem is that they're a mess. Their product pages are all over the place without any real internal linking or logical order/navigating, which made them hard understand and even harder to use a resource or solution.

Avantages

The ability to create so many different varieties of presentations. What at first seemed to be the complexity of the interface turns out to be not that complex but perhaps its greatest strength.

Inconvénients

This is perhaps not like least situation. It appears however that now Adobe has almost completed the long transition. The problem as mentioned above was the very difficult task of painting the train while it was running.

Avantages

We probably don't use 30% of the features during any given meeting, but it's nice to have the flexibility of breakout sessions, whiteboards, video conferencing, etc. Most of our sessions are simple PowerPoints uploaded into the room, utilizing integrated telephony and chat for communication. But the system is robust, offering just about anything you could imagine doing in an online meeting. We record most of our sessions, and Adobe offers good tools for editing the recordings, which can then be shared right from Adobe's platform. The pods available in the room allow for document sharing during the meeting, the playing of audio and video files, polling and surveys, and of course screen sharing. The new HTML client means participants don't have to leave the browser to engage in meetings any more, and there is a mobile client for joining meetings via Android or iOS. The admin interface offers branding so you can ensure all the meetings have your company's logo and colors. All in all, it's a pretty slick package.

Inconvénients

My biggest gripe with Adobe Connect is the necessity of engaging a third party in order to achieve integrated telephony. This should be included. To be clear, VOIP is included. I'm simply talking about the ability of participants to call in to a meeting using a regular phone requires a third party. While it's not enough to make me seek a different webinar platform, it is shocking that Adobe has not addressed this glaring issue. The only issue I have with the platform is playing long videos during meetings never seem to work, and it has forced us to all but exclude video from our presentations.

Avantages

Connect has a very simple structure of pods that can be turned on or off, depending upon the features you'd like to have available for your meeting. Some examples include chat, drawing, video, screen sharing, polling. The user interface is extremely easy to manage, and I used to train college faculty to use this for offering online classes and lectures - 95% of the time there were absolutely no issues. It is easy to learn, easy to use, and meetings/webinars can be recorded for later viewing.

Inconvénients

From an administrator perspective, the admin console for this tool was very outdated. Each user had a folder, within each folder was a series of links for old meetings and recordings. It was complex enough that we opted to have admins manage meeting room creation for all users because it just wasn't very intuitive. The pod look was already a bit outdated when I stopped using the software a few years back, and there were some limits in terms of how many people could be sharing their webcams at once. Also, we found that if more than 2-3 people had their microphones active, there was a lot of feedback, so we always told people to mute everyone unless they absolutely needed to hear participants.

Avantages

It has advanced chat functions that allow you to create groups, use messages and notifications to send to your contacts. It allows quick simple selection surveys to better identify user preferences. It is easy and very useful to share PDF files on the screen with participants. It is very easy to create interactive content and present it in virtual classrooms.

Inconvénients

It has presented problems to play long videos and when you are a new user it is necessary to document yourself well to take advantage of its full potential.

Avantages

I have used Adobe Connect for hosting MANY meetings where some attendees could not be on campus. It works well for its purpose. It has just enough features to do everything that you need it to, but not so many features that it is overwhelming. I frequently use the recording feature to keep track of meetings and distribute them later to folks who couldn't attend (as well as go back and listen to some parts for note-taking purposes). It's also nice to be able to switch between meeting room formats so that you can share a separate screen, add notes during the webcast, upload files to share with other participants, etc.

Inconvénients

Honestly, I feel that there are some better options available that have the same types of features. Adobe Connect tends to be quite buggy. I've had a lot of problems with people getting dropped or having bad connections. Sometimes audio or video freezes up while we are using it, especially when trying to share screens. Participants also have to be a bit tech-savvy when using the software, if they want a good experience. I found that many of the people tuning in did not have headphones which caused a lot of volume/feedback issues. I often end up having to put "tech support" shoes on while trying to run a meeting, in order to get everyone on the virtual end to be able to hear and see the meeting clearly.

Avantages

It has a pleasant and easy-to-navigate user interface. It has a reduced learning curve. It allows you to connect in an easy and agile way, from anywhere and at any time, using any media, device or operating system. Security and scalability are two characteristics that stand out in this platform. It enables effective videoconferencing and screen sharing. It offers a library of content stored in the cloud for easy access.

Inconvénients

Although this platform is very robust and versatile, it is necessary to have a good bandwidth to enhance the experience and enjoy all its features to the fullest.

Avantages

Due to my duties within the corporation where I live, we have to make trips to the interior of the country and abroad in order to attend petroleum meetings, chemistry or simply go to recondite places where it is presumed there will be future oil exploitation.

In this absence to our natural workspace, Adobe Connect plays a fundamental role, since, among its many benefits, one of the most important and for which we use the software the most, is that we can make meeting rooms online, from a Android device, tablet or IOS, with our immediate supervisors, managers and managers, making daily reports of the progress we are making in the external areas where we are working.

This incalculable goodness saves us incalculable resources of time and money, since only from our cell phone or tablet, we can be making timely advances in the site in an effective way and with the greater security that only Adobe Connect can offer.

Inconvénients

When I have had to set up an online room to set up meetings, complications have arisen based on some complex tools that the software has. While it is not a problem in itself of the functionality of the software, it is a point that should be taken into account so that the next updates are easier to use and so everyone can use the software in a simple way.

Avantages

This product is great for live and recorded classes, you can add your audio and video and share presentations and there is a built in pointer. There is a participants pod and chat pod and you can share files and use a white board.

Inconvénients

It was so hard to use when I first had to make a trial video. I had to watch numerous YouTube videos to help me figure it out, whereas I can normally figure things out on my own. Even after a year, I still forget how to find my videos and I forget to either add video, audio, share my video or record at some point. There are a lot of steps to making and recording a video, then finding it and making it public access.

Avantages

Really powerful, with a wide range of options to prepare different layouts of pods, making the delivery so much smoother.

Inconvénients

A bit more pricey than the competition, security makes it a bit harder to integrated in Learning management System

Avantages

Adobe Connect is definitely a useable tool to use, although it seems to be a bit less modern than other tools. I like that there are options for video chatting, voice only, text chatting, and sharing screens. This came in handy for school projects and office hours that I attended in school. I study through an online university and Adobe Connect is what we used to connect with teachers for office hours and for presentations. While having office hours, students were able to easily ask the teacher questions and the teacher was able to share their screen with us.

Inconvénients

What I least liked about this software is that it seems not so updated compared to more modern products that do the same thing. It was also a little bit difficult to use at first. I thought it worked very slowly as well.
