Adobe Connect Compare

Transformative virtual trainings for better business outcomes.

Adobe Connect is a powerful virtual training solution that enables trainers to design engaging learning experiences, scale and standardise them efficiently and drive, measure and report training impact with actionable engagement insights.

Meeting tools are built for single click collaboration.

They lack the capabilities required for business-critical live virtual trainings.
