Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Flash

We use Adobe Flash to interact with some specific web applications that still require the use of Flash. While I would prefer to use HTML5 at this point, sometimes we do need to use the older Flash standard and when we do it does work well. I know some of my backup solutions and VM solutions require Flash.
  • Presents the website quickly
  • Allows me to interact with older interfaces
  • The amount of updates we need to push out for Flash is ridiculous.
  • The security of the application seems suspect.
  • I spend too much time managing updates for Flash.
Nowadays we use HTML5 products whenever possible but when you need to use Flash because an application calls for it it works.
When you need to use Flash to accomplish a specific task it works fine. At this point in my career, I try to avoid working with Flash when possible because of security concerns. To get right to the point it works when you need it to but in 2019 it is probably time to move on.
