Product Details

What is Adobe Connect?

Adobe Connect is a web conferencing platform that provides standard features like video, audio, screen-sharing, polls, chat, Q&A, and document transfers, as well as the ability for users to create presentations, online training materials, and learning modules.

The product is entirely Adobe Flash-based and has several add-ons for customizing its software to suit each users’ unique needs. Some extensions that are available include, but are not limited to, Closed Captioning support, Word Cloud (for visualizing live discussions), and MP3 player for adding music to users’ meeting rooms.

Users can create or style their own meeting room layouts which can be saved. They can also add multiple chat pods, polls, quizzes, simulations, breakout rooms, HD video, and games to make meetings and online conferencing more interactive. Additionally, Adobe Connect allows for presenters and hosts to utilize a “virtual backstage” to chat and collaborate outside of the main meeting or conference. It also allows for users to go into a “preparation mode” to make adjustments right before or during a session.



Pricing for Adobe Connect Meetings ranges from $50/mo up to $370/mo. Additional webinar capabilities through Adobe Connect Webinar ranges $140/mo to $580/mo, from a webinar with 100 participants to one with up to 1000 participants.

I think overall I felt very comfortable using Connect. Web accessibility is of utmost importance to my organization and we were able to hire live captioners and then connected to a captioning to provide the service with no issues for the most part.

As far as getting people used to using Connect for attending webinars, we often had to provide a tech intro. I think, part of this is because people are not as familiar with it compared with Zoom. Zoom's layout is more common for people and I think they feel comfortable with it more.

If Adobe Connect is utilized internally at an organization, it would be an excellent way to get people comfortable and familiar with all of the tools built into the system. We utilize with external clients and have found a few challenges we have been able to overcome, but challenges none the less. We find accessing Adobe Connect through the application provides the best experience, but many outside clients will not allow the application to be downloaded immediately. So many of our participants attend through the browser version and can run into bandwidth issues.

We have found Adobe Connect to be highly effective in situations where we need to provide training to users in a remote environment. We used to do in-person training, but the ability to host these sessions online has been a lifesaver, allowing us to continue normal operations during these challenging times.

It is a great resource for evaluating, refining, and combining abilities and essential experiences in the growth of the sales team training; It is productive and lucrative in terms of distance knowledge transfer, and it reduces employee training financing and expenditures. I really like the ability to collaborate as a group on a huge research project even when we are not in the same country.

One, Adobe Connect will facilitate the virtual classroom or any other form of meeting, which will make training and engagement effective. There is the real-time and instant chatting option from Adobe Connect, a suitable form of communication. For effective execution of this tool, there are templates with enough documentation for how the software is used. Finally, all the presentation features are included in this software, making it a perfect way to pass messages.

It's fantastic how many hosts can handle various breakout groups. Other fantastic features are the ability to share files and have everyone in the group engage with the documents viewer. I really recommend it. I've had no trouble doing online meetings with clients who are in various countries. It also aided me in conducting seminars and making crucial business choices.

I am having a satisfying experience with Adobe Connect. On the basis of its functionality, I will recommend it to all organizations. But I will also suggest you have some experience with its free trial. It will give you a good knowledge about your requirements so that It will also become easy for you to invest.

If you are presenting to a large audience that requires multiple break rooms, you will most likely get participants that get dropped. If you are just looking for an environment where you will just present to a large group of people, then this will work for you. In addition to this, if you are presenting with multiple presenters, Adobe Connect will give you a seamless way to transfer ownership to whoever is presenting at any given time.

Bugs. Unstable.

I don't recommend Adobe Connect. I am sorry, but it is not the best on market. Screen share is slow, the app is unstable, which it doesn't happen often, but you don't need a bug (e.g. mic issue) in the middle of a coaching. Very annoying and frustrating. Also, awful UI. I mean, it will simplify your job, but the cons are much more than the pros.

Firstly this is a free software so you can basically use it for online trainings or meetings and save money instead of buying some costly products. It provides most of the basic features and since it’s a free software don’t expect too much. You have options to share documents and links with other participants however some features are lacking. Also there are lot of bugs sometimes.

There are better solutions available on the market right now. While Adobe Connect has been around for a while, it seems as if their innovation was frozen from about 8 years ago and not many significant changes/upgrades have been made as compared to some of their other competitors in this space.
