Adobe a "Leader" in Gartner's 2008 Magic Quadrant for Web Conferencing
"Based on Adobe Flash, the company's Web-conferencing offering can be deployed easily. It has resizable screen displays for users, authoring capabilities and less intensive bandwidth requirements for video."
— David Mario Smith, Jeffrey Mann, Gartner
PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2008 Award
"[Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro] is the most complete all-in-one web-conferencing solution I've seen."
— Oliver Rist, PC Magazine
Instant access
Attendees can join meetings by clicking a URL, with no annoying wait times or downloads. Acrobat Connect Pro helps you bring people together from around the world — coworkers, customers, partners, and vendors — for immediate collaboration and interactivity. All they need is a web browser and Flash Player, already installed on over 98% of Internet-connected desktops worldwide. In the rare case that a user needs to download Flash Player, it's a quick and easy process.
In contrast, other leading web conferencing solutions require participants to download plug-ins or proprietary software, which can cause lengthy delays as people struggle with technical issues and may even prevent participants from joining the meeting at all.
High impact
Adobe Flash is the technology behind most video and interactive media on the Internet today. For web conferencing, Flash enables the use of video, audio, and interactivity to create an almost in-person experience for all attendees. The elegant interface and interactive features of Acrobat Connect Pro make it easy to keep your audience engaged, helping to ensure that they work productively and retain knowledge — and enjoy doing it.
Live and on demand
Sometimes you need to gather people from around the world in a live working session or virtual classroom. Other times, you can let users access critical content on their own — when and where it's most convenient. Adobe built Acrobat Connect Pro from the ground up to be a complete solution, offering you the flexibility to deliver rich, engaging content in a live or on-demand format.
Ready for the enterprise
Over the past 25 years, Adobe has earned a reputation as one of the leading software companies in the world, with teams of experienced software developers and a product development process that has been proven and perfected. You can be confident that Acrobat Connect Pro is reliable and ready to go on day one of your implementation.
Hosted or on-premise
Acrobat Connect Pro can be deployed as a licensed software product, on-premise, behind your company's firewall, to provide complete control. Or it can be purchased on a subscription basis as a hosted service, with full end-to-end 128-bit SSL encryption available. This flexibility helps ensure that the solution can evolve and grow with your needs. Most other web conferencing solutions are available only as a hosted service for which you must estimate your exact usage or be subject to overage charges or costly underutilization.

Built on open standards
Acrobat Connect Pro is based on an open, extensible architecture that supports cost-effective integration with existing infrastructure and future technology investments. Using standards such as XML and Java™ to exchange data, Acrobat Connect Pro is unique in its support of web services that can be used to manage everything from users to in-depth reporting on application usage. Adobe also offers a Developer Resource Center containing hundreds of APIs and software development kits (SDKs) so you can extend functionality and integrate with other internal applications and services to create a custom solution based on your organization's unique needs.
