Adobe Experience Manager vs Joomla comparison

"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."

"If you want to use content in a mobile application and you want the content in some other application, you can simply expose it from the CMS to different clients or different systems. It's easy. On top of that, the technology underlying AEM is open-source and is very powerful like Apache Sling and JCR."

"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."

"It's a complete package. You don't need to look elsewhere for digital marketing."

"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 most valuable features of Adobe Experience Manager include its capability to manage content and create reusable fragments."

"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."

"One of the most robust, stable, secure, feature-rich CMSs on the market."

"The speed in which you can take a CMS and make it a full-blown shopping cart with analytics tracking, SEO, user accounts, security, and ease of use through a robust framework of modules and plugins to enhance and promote-related content is about as turnkey as it gets with Joomla."

"Adobe's technical support is so-so."

"There is a feature missing where if content is created on the UAT environment and needs to be transferred or synced to the production environment, there is no direct way of doing the sync."

"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."

"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."

"The licenses are very expensive."

"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."

"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."

"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."

"I would like to see more back-end admin power pulled into the front-end, therefore the admins will not have to use the back-end as much, especially for the menu manager, user manager, etc. versus using third-party extensions to achieve this."

"I would like to see the same sorting and attributes available through the web browser on the JED (sorting by free or commercial license, sort by rating, popularity, etc.) within the back-end Joomla Web Installer when browsing extensions."

"It's really costly."

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."

"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."

"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."

"Joomla is open source, therefore free. Only hosting, the time to build it along with the training time is your startup cost."
