[edit] History and marketplace competition
Prior to September 2006 and being added to the Acrobat family of Adobe products, Adobe Connect was Macromedia Breeze. [1] It was renamed after Adobe's purchase of former competitor Macromedia. The following lists the rebranded Breeze products:
- Breeze is now Adobe Acrobat Connect
- Breeze Meeting is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional
- Breeze Training is now Adobe Connect Training (part of Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional)
- Breeze Events is now Adobe Connect Events (part of Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional)
- Breeze Presenter is now Adobe Presenter (part of Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional)
- Breeze Server is now Adobe Connect Enterprise Server
- Breeze Edge Server is now Adobe Connect Edge Server
This product competes with Microsoft Live Meeting and is designed for creating live presentations that can also be replayed "on demand". This product's audience is similar to that of Macromedia Captivate.
