I am more familiar with Adobe connect. I have found them both useful in connecting employees, reviewing material together. I am not sure how GoToMeeting does with videos to stream. Due to the frequency of use, I would recommend Adobe … Incentivized Helpful? Christopher Power Virtual Enterprise Coordinator/Educator at NYC Department of Education / Francis Lewis High School (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe Connect GoToMeeting, Zoom & Skype stack up very well against Adobe Connect.

Shannon Davis Web Content Specialist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health - Center for Communication Programs (Higher Education, 201-500 employees) Chose Adobe Connect I prefer Adobe Connect's slide sharing and recording/playback features to either Zoom or GoToMeeting(GTM).

I have worked … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Martinez learning management system administrator/ data analyst in Human Resources at State of Colorado (Government Administration, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe Connect Adobe connect is much more formal for our external audience. Skype and GoToMeeting work for internal meetings or informal meetings. The back end database for adobe connect is much more useful as well in my opinion. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Roberts Director, Management Information Systems in Information Technology at CareerSource Florida (Public Policy, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Connect Like I said, Adobe Connect is a monster product.

And remember, unless all your … Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Braun Senior Curriculum Manager in Human Resources at Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (Accounting, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Adobe Connect We were on both GoTo platforms, when it was decided to move to Adobe Connect.

Verified User Chose Adobe Connect Adobe Connect is among the more robust and feature rich tools available. I don’t think any of the other tools match that. If it fits your needs, you can’t beat it.

Sandi Ols Staff Executive at Aims Community College (Higher Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Adobe Connect It has some better features and some not so good qualities that makes it not exactly the product of choice.

Incentivized Helpful? dave g Analyzer in Engineering (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Adobe Connect The best part of Adobe Connect is sharing the information with others who use this software.

Helpful? Verified User Chose Adobe Connect We looked at GoToMeeting and WebEx, and for our size and the number of sessions we do, they did not make as much sense financially.
