Improves efficiency and offers reliability along with good flexibility

I have used Oracle in different places, especially in the IT industry, for several years since 2009. I have been in the IT industry for a long period of time. I have had a chance to interact with many systems, and I have been in touch with several programming languages, including the ones in Oracle. As a developer, I use Oracle Content Management as an enterprise tool to enable development. The solution's integration capabilities are doing very well because I work with many of them, and its APIs are flexible, good, and secure. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the profiling and segmentation."

"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 pretty stable."

"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."

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

"Easy to work with the solution."

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

"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."

More Adobe Experience Manager pros

"The reliability of the system is significant, creating a lot of trust among our customers."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"It's a comprehensive solution for managing documents within our organization's management framework."

Cons

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The licenses are very expensive."

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

More Adobe Experience Manager cons

"On the ITM side, there are conflicts, particularly on the convergence side, where it does not support cluster environments."

"The only issue my company has with the tool is the licensing part, which is expensive."

"Oracle Content Management poses complexities in initial implementation and configuration."

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."

"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 really costly."

"The tool's licensing part is expensive."
