Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Connect

Our clients participate in a year-long consultant engagement. Clients are all across the US and Canada so we needed a reliable, dynamic meeting software that allowed us to cumulatively build on the clients' knowledge all year, not just a 1-off meeting room. Just our small, 5 person team uses it for our client work as other service engagements don't require cumulative meeting room knowledge.
  • Design flexibility, moving "pods" of information around, hiding them, changing the look of the meeting room to best keep the attention of the attendees.
  • Completely audio conference agnostic.
  • Stores info from meeting to meeting so clients can access info from past sessions easily.
  • Difficult to track down support; once you do they are helpful but their website is far too vast and getting a person on chat or phone is tricky.
  • Reporting is lacking.
  • Our clients love it and our consultants struggle with any other tool.
  • Lack of reporting can be a drag because finding who attended what event is necessary, especially if a client complains about services. Tracking attendance can help in those client discussions.
  • We simply couldn't offer a year of collaborative learning with a group of clients if we didn't have cumulative meeting rooms.
  • WebEx
WebEx has no design flexibility and no ability to store info from meeting to meeting.
If you need meeting room design flexibility or cumulative knowledge storage in a single meeting room, there is no comparison. WebEx, GoToMeeting and others are more for quick one time meetings, not appropriate for a year long services agreement where the same meeting room and info is required from meeting to meeting.
