At Duke we use a variety of tools, including but not limited to Skype, Adobe Connect, Polycom (built-in and portable systems) and Cisco Telepresence (just sort of beginning its life on campus, but really the coolest of the bunch.)
All the tools have their ups and downs. In an ideal world, I think you'd want to be able to support a portfolio of tools, because each of them can do different kinds of things, depending on the situation.
Having said that, I think that Adobe Connect is a fairly solid piece of software and would be worthwhile exploring if you are mandated to provide a particular platform.
Best,
Erin
