Stable product but hard to integrate
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…
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce ( /vendors/salesforce ), which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"It is a stable product."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The solution can scale well."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"I think communication is the best feature overall. We use Microsoft Teams for chat, video, and audio communications, so communication is the most valuable feature. Video communication has improved our productivity. We often need to review the code of some developers, which means we need to see their shared screen. So, I think the screen-sharing feature is the best one for us."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."
"I find using Jira to create and share files within the channels very convenient. We can add simple things like spreadsheets or whiteboards to a channel, and all the sharing is done automatically. For example, when working on a project, I start a new channel, and everyone knows to go there to find all our documentation."
"Microsoft Teams is bundled with Microsoft, so that's the number one valuable feature for me. It's easy to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature."
"I find several features of Microsoft Teams valuable. First, the group chat feature is great for team collaboration and sharing updates. Second, scheduling meetings is very easy, whether through Outlook or directly in the tool. Another useful feature is the notifications for meeting start times, which ensure you don't miss any meetings even if you're working on something else. Additionally, Microsoft Teams creates a chat where you can take and share notes during meetings, which I find helpful."
 

Cons

"The price is a problem."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"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."
"I would like to see btter integration."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"One of my colleagues was trying to use Microsoft Teams on their laptop, and it was slow in terms of booting up when initially starting it. For example, it was not running in the background. In general, it takes some time to load. Zoom tends to have a faster loading time."
"They should allow switching between windows in a Teams meeting."
"If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session."
"Lacking in more complex hierarchies for files and teams."
"The integration with SharePoint can be cumbersome at times."
"Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings."
"The solution needs to have subtitles."

"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
