Impressive integration of customer behavior with an easy setup and okay support
I've worked with all major content management systems. Currently, I work with the leaders such as Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, and Acquia Working with big companies, I help them either consider setting up a new content management system or address issues they might have with their existing…

A collaborative tool with a good noise cancellation feature
We use it to conduct meetings because it is private.  The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features. The application also provides notices to everyone at the same time. You can easily use it on your phone, so it's a very…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"I like the native applications such as Adobe Target, Adobe Analytics, and Adobe Experience Platform. Because of these, it's very easy to connect and obtain reports on how my website is doing, how many have visited it, how frequently, etc. The multiple publisher concept is one of the best parts of this solution."
"The most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."
"The microphone's noise cancellation and static feature that record a human's voice are some of the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for document sharing, video conferencing, instant messaging, and file sharing."
 

Cons

"The solution's pricing and stability could be improved."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"I haven't seen any areas for improvement in Adobe Experience Manager as it's a full-fledged CMS tool, and Adobe is already working on enhancements for the solution. Adobe is working to make Adobe Experience Manager more valuable and easier to use for any user, even non-technical ones, through multiple components and templates. Day by day, Adobe provides the latest update to Adobe Experience Manager, and if my team needs any particular change, it just needs to be reported to the Adobe team. As Adobe Experience Manager has a broad scope and a lot of use cases and features, it's a solution that requires some time and effort from you in terms of learning, especially if you're implementing it for different clients, which could be an area for improvement."
"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"The latest trend is to render everything in the client-side framework. For example, SPA or single page application. This is a feature that needs improvement. The cloud deployment pipeline needs to be improved as well."
"In comparison to other CMS products, Adobe Experience Manager is missing some capabilities such as proper versioning or a better versioning system and backend connectivity. If something is deleted in AEM, the user cannot recover it. You have to call technical support, and they will need to recover the whole instance. So, it's really difficult. For example, if you delete a page, you cannot recover it. There should be an option to recover it. In AEM, you have to go to the previous state of the instance itself or the virtual machine, and you have to restore everything, which is not good."
"Adobe Experience Manager could improve by allowing the reuse of components like a progress bar across multiple pages to make the development process more efficient."
"There were some additional features coming up, as they informed us through email. But we didn't get any update on them."
"The audio calling service needs to improve its quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a costly solution. I would rate the price at two out of five on a scale from one to five, where one is the most expensive and five is the most competitive."
"There's a free trial for one month for Adobe Experience Manager, which you can use for learning purposes, then, after the trial period, you'll need to purchase the license. Adobe offers a few plans for Adobe Experience Manager, but I'm unaware of how much my company is paying."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"It's really costly."
"The license grants you a subscription and costs about $120. I am not aware of additional costs."
