We performed a comparison between Adobe Connect and Zoom based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution can scale well."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"Some of the most valuable features are the performance and ease of use. Also, since everyone knows about and is familiar with Zoom, you don't need to teach them how to use it."
"Simple and user-friendly; works on any device."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"It's pretty easy to connect to anybody through a scheduled meeting."
"The product runs pretty smoothly so I haven't had to contact technical support."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Zoom is user-friendliness."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"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."

"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"The price is a problem."
"We use screen sharing, but sometimes it can be awkward because you might accidentally share the wrong screen, including personal ones. ......Similar to the integration between Google Calendar and Google Meet, having everything in one environment would be much more convenient for scheduling meetings."
"I would like to see something like a virtual board or conference room where participants are seated around a virtual table, and pictures of them sitting on the chair or an avatar that the user can choose and control within that virtual world."
"The user interface should be more straightforward and easy to use."
"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
"I'd like to have the recording functionality in the free version so that we don't need any licensing in order to access it."
"We would like to have the ability to connect people using phone numbers so that non-Zoom users can join conversations."
"They should improve the sharing file features from accessing the internal network. If we cannnot share our documents through this meeting, our meeting productivity will decrease dramatically. We need these features."
"The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control."

My comments about Zoom:
The Pros:
- It allows you to schedule any meeting and invites your meeting members at a particular date & time with Meeting Id & Password.
- It allows organizing multiple meetings, to carry out online meetings, file sharing, webinars & group messaging.
- Through the Zoom application, users are given the option to connect to more than one conference room, include more attendees remotely, and conduct face-to-face meetings.
- Zoom offers both native mobile (iOS & Andrioid)and desktop versions that let users collaborate & connect remotely.
- It allows us to record video chat and look at them at a later date & time.
- Whiteboard is a good feature for having a meeting in which everyone can join to type or draw, and write.
If we have a brainstorming-type meeting, we can share our own ideas with the whiteboard.
- Zoom recently implemented a Microsoft Office add-in, which means we can now schedule Zoom meetings without having to go into the Zoom app.
The Cons (from my experience using in Melbourne, Australia):
- Have encountered Slow response sometimes when participants are joining from different geographical locations.
- The Free Version allows having a conference call for 40 minutes. Price could be an issue for the Paid Version.
