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…

Gives me easy access, connection and compatibility with all of the Oracle products

WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

"I like the profiling and segmentation."

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

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

More Adobe Experience Manager pros

"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."

"Integration within the solution is very good."

"WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly."

"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."

"A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

Cons

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

"Programming model could be improved, it's a monolithic solution."

"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."

"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 licenses are very expensive."

"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."

"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."

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

More Adobe Experience Manager cons

"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."

"Its functions need more stability."

"Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version."

"The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."

"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."

"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market."

"The speed of the backup should be enhanced."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It's really costly."

"WebCenter's pricing is on the higher side."

"The price of this solution is considered to be high; however, when speaking with Oracle, it is possible to get discounts of up to sixty percent."

"The price needs to be lowered."
