Adobe Breeze Tops The Web Conferencing Field In Flexibility

The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q2 2006

by Claire Schooley

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Adobe Systems' Macromedia Breeze is a relatively new product in the Web conferencing space. As such, it lacks some of the features of its competitors, including application integration, screen capture, and Web tours. But Breeze, as a hosted or installed product, offers depth and flexibility in presentation management and UI customization that outpaces most competitors. It uses Flash to create instant meetings without download delays and has a simple-to-use, configurable interface that converts content to FlashPaper to achieve much of its ease of use — although FlashPaper limits the user's ability to easily save and print content. The product's basic conferencing features, multimedia capabilities, and archived recording with word search are leading-edge. With Adobe's recent purchase of Macromedia, expect Breeze to leverage the asynchronous, document-centric nature of Acrobat and the PDF file format. As Breeze gains recognition and greater adoption, Adobe must maintain the product's reputation of finding solutions for customers with conferencing challenges.
