What differentiates Adobe Connect from other similar products?

During our company's training programs, I have hosted webinars using Adobe Connect. We have always provided webinars as a means of training, but due to the recent outbreak of COVID, we have moved all of our offerings on the web. Thanks to Connect, we can now train a big group of individuals simultaneously, even when we are unable to physically meet in person.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As a means of providing our users with high-quality, distance-based education, we make use of Adobe Connect. The pods in Connect are beautifully delineated on the screen, which is great for facilitating clarity for webinar participants.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Given the length of time it took to upload files using Connect, we had to begin preparing for webinars earlier than we would have liked to. We had frequent Adobe Connect freeze-ups, but rarely saw this problem with Zoom.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In general, I had a great experience with Adobe Connect. My company places a premium on web accessibility, and we had no trouble whatsoever connecting to a captioning service and employing live captioners to deliver the service.
