Adobe Connect
#TheChoiceOfPros for
Interactive webinars
The enterprise grade solution for professional webinars.
Generic meeting tools, built for quick collaboration, offer basic audio, video and screenshare, falling woefully short of critical capabilities required to power advanced use cases. Hence rarely the choice of marketing professionals looking to do more with less.
Interactive webinars ≠ Internal collaboration

Generic meeting tools
Organizations often struggle with piece-meal tools to implement mature eLearning practices & programs.
Adobe Connect - Presenters can set up rooms according to their style & goals. They can create layouts using a multitude of resizable, custom labelled Pods. Layouts help add motion, structure, and focus to a webinar.
Generic meeting tools - Single static view. No custom layouts, ability to transition between layouts or multiple interactive in-room pods.
Adobe Connect - Customizable visual aesthetics with background images, wallpapers, custom banners, logos and colours, and custom domain names of enterprise/university/school.
Generic meeting tools - Limited to no visual aesthetics or brand/domain customizations.
Adobe Connect - Enables Sales & Partner Enablement and Customer Education. Marketers & Sales Reps can create walk-in Sales Rooms, Enablement Rooms or Customer Support Rooms with helpful resources, collaterals, and sales assets all staged for audience to consume as they drop-in before or after the live session.
Generic meeting tools - Not built to support content persistence or reusability. The virtual space is single-use where chat, content & interaction are lost as soon as the session ends.
Adobe Connect - Templates serve as a blueprint for new Adobe Connect rooms making it fast and easy to set up new rooms using existing designs, content, layouts and backgrounds, instead of starting from scratch. It also ensures standardization and consistency of best webinar practices across the organization.
Generic meeting tools - Presenters tediously redo the same drill for every session or simply rely on screenshare & video hoping the audience is still listening.
Adobe Connect - A backstage which can be setup with attendee list, agenda, notes, presenter's chat, engagement dashboard, and presenter view of the moderated chat hidden from the main stage. A special Prepare Mode allows producers to discreetly set up layouts, content, and flow without affecting the live class session.
Generic meeting tools - Backstage or green-room is non-existent or completely disconnected from main stage. The co-presenters or producers on backstage can’t see or hear the live presentation or audience interaction.
Adobe Connect - Designed for interactivity that presenters can embed into their presentation flow. In addition to the engaging storyboard with custom layouts, it supports a multitude of engagement options natively such as Annotations, Polls/Quiz, Status options, interactive gaming, multiple simultaneous screen-shares & chats.
Generic meeting tools - Cookie-cutter UI design and functionality with a static, single-window view and limited engagement options using video/chat/screenshare. Most of which are external apps or integrations that take audience away from the main room.
Adobe Connect - Advanced tools to drive & measure engagement in real-time based on live Interactions, pollS, hand raises, chats, downloads, mouse clicks etc aggregated at audience & individual level.
Generic meeting tools - Live engagement metrics are non-existent or only captures screen-in-view instead of live interactions. Presenters miss the opportunity to adjust pace & format to drive higher engagement & Marketers miss the opportunity for granular lead qualification.
Adobe Connect - No apps or add-ins to download. With new HTML browser clients, hosts and participants can leverage almost all capabilities right from the browser. Never miss an audience whose IT policy may prohibit web downloads.
Generic meeting tools - Most providers depend on the native application supported by a thin web client with limited functionality.
Adobe Connect - The unique backstage is used by trainers to prepare content, quick polls for instant feedback, and then move to the main stage. Backstage can be setup with attendee list, agenda, notes, presenter's chat, engagement dashboard, and presenter view of the moderated chat, hidden from the main stage. A special Prepare Mode allows trainers to discreetly set up layouts, content, and flow without affecting the class.
Generic meeting tools - Don’t provide dedicated host & presenter areas or preparation modes allowing trainers to ready material outside the learner view.
