Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Connect
Adobe Connect is being used for virtual conferencing, teleconferencing, and meeting/interviewing purposes. It is being used only in certain parts of the organization, but not the entire organization. Other departments and teams use other platforms. The business problem being solved is being able to connect and collaborate with other employees and customers, especially now more than ever since we're all remote. It also has other capabilities to troubleshoot or work out business issues and leveraging that type of technology.
Pros
- The user interface and controls and commands are fairly intuitive. Even if audio or video isn't working, you can usually figure it out within a minute or two.
- It functions well and seems to transition from feature to feature or capability to another capability. Doesn't seem clunky at all, but is clean.
- Other capabilities instead of just audio and video is present too, but they haven't been fully explored or leveraged yet.
Cons
- The overall connection and lag sometimes are disruptive. This may not be due to the platform as a whole, connectivity, and strength of the signal is probably a factor but it can get glitchy sometimes.
- More features for remote desktop options, whiteboarding, or screen sharing to actively resolve issues would be great while collaborating.
- Online support or forums to help assist with issues aren't as prevalent as you think they'd be. More individual resources to assist with issues would be helpful.
- Overall, the investment has been alright and has made sense. I'm not privy to all of the numbers, but it seems like the ROI has been fine. It's resolved most issues regarding virtual conferencing.
- It does sound like Adobe is on the expensive end versus other competitor platforms, so smaller organizations may not be suited for this platform.
- Some competitor platforms may offer more features and more robust experiences, with a more user-friendly user interface as well.
Adobe in terms of functionality is competitive with the other platforms out there. It has a strong reputation and seems to solve most of the organization's issues, however, it is more costly and isn't as user-friendly as it could be. It appears to have a lot of functionality that has yet to be explored. It's a platform to retain, but at the right moment could be re-explored as well.
