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."Screen share and document share are good features."
"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It trains providers for on-premise deployment in several locations."
"The solution can scale well."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"I like Adobe Connect because of its flexibility."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are quick connectivity, screen sharing, and quick response."
"The initial setup was very easy...The solution is worth the money."
"As a technical support guy, I think it's crucial to be able to connect with people remotely. Zoom is simple to use because they can share the screen and talk. The user can walk me through the issue they are facing."
"The product is quite secure and you can use it remotely. I've never heard of there being any security issues."
"It allows for both support and communication at the same time."
"Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"Zoom is stable and I haven't had any problems with it."
"The price is a problem."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Interface and layout options could be improved."
"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"We would like to have the ability to connect people using phone numbers so that non-Zoom users can join conversations."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
"The only thing that I can't get to work well is putting one of those little fancy wallpaper picture screens behind me during meetings so that I don't show my house or the room I'm attending from. Everyone is basically working remotely at this point. It would help to just have a neutral professional background for meetings that's easy to add."
"There were several instances where we couldn't connect into a meeting just on video and then couldn't even dial-in."
"The platform's feature for screen sharing needs improvement."
"The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software."
"In some cases, I am not able to have a special background during the conversation. It could be because my device is not powerful enough, but I am not able to share a properly designed background. I am having problems setting up my virtual background. It is very easy to set up a virtual background during the conversation with Microsoft Teams, and that's why I like Microsoft Teams, but with Zoom, I find it difficult. I am not able to set up my virtual background very easily. They can look into this area and then see how to improve it."

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.
