Adobe Connect is not bad for connecting and integrating for remote connecting and video streaming. I think it was not bad, actually.  I don't integrate it in my project. Some other guys work on that. But I think they had some sort of problems with integration with that product. But, they managed to…

"The solution can scale well."
"It is a stable product."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
 

Cons

"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"The price is a problem."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
