Digital Marketing Manager at Ford Motor Company
Centralized content management has unified our digital channels and delivers consistent experiences
Adobe Experience Manager offers enterprise-level digital assets management and very robust customization, brand value consistency, and omnichannel delivery. It saves development and maintenance time. The digital asset management and omnichannel delivery features have benefited my team by managing our digital assets, ensuring brand consistency, and enabling us to deliver customized content easily to our clients. Organizing and obtaining information from results is beneficial. Strengthening our online experience as a brand is valuable. Easy integration with other Adobe services improves productivity and provides a smooth experience. Adobe Experience Manager has positively impacted my organization by enabling component and page reuse, which reduces application size. It saves manual effort for maintaining all applications, improves traffic, and ensures consistency across all our applications. It provides better security, scalability, and makes our applications more robust.

Has a user-friendly interface but performance is not up to scratch
I mainly use WebCenter for content management and publishing WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly. WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system. Its performance is also not up to the market standard, and its agility and adaptability could be improved.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Asset module has received a lot of focus and is currently one of the best solutions for Digital Asset Management out there."
"I've used several CMS tools, but Adobe Experience Manager is feature-rich, especially for web security and content management."
"Brand management, Digital Transformation of organization and Most dynamic site."
"Easy to work with the solution."
"Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best enterprise-level content management and digital experience platforms available."
"It is easy to learn. You don't need to be an advanced Java developer."
"The integration of customer behavior and website setup is impressive."
"Ease of use for content authors and tight integration with Adobe Marketing Cloud Products like Target, Analytics, Campaign; a complete solution for organizational digital marketing needs."
"These features are great components in WebCenter Collaboration for presenting various middleware and ECM functionalities to the end user in a single portal application."
"Integration within the solution is very good."
"It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage."
"This product is very good for scaling; it is easy to expand this solution and I think it is the best solution for all of the problems you might have with document storage."
"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data."
"You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."
"The solution is completely scalable and one of the best Oracle tools in my opinion."
"The business user has the capability to update content, look, and feel."
 

Cons

"Adobe Experience Manager needs more optimization. The frequency of components where we have vitals of a page or an app needs to be optimized because these are heavy Java codes along with some AEM developments."
"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."
"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."
"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's pricing could be improved."
"Because of the improvement needed with the client-side framework and because page loading takes time, I rate Adobe Experience Manager at seven out of ten."
"Many people complain about the price as it's one of the most expensive tools."
"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."
"I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."
"In terms of what needs to be improved, I would say the speed of the backup should be enhanced."
"WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system."
"We have a lot of pain with instabilities and are not getting enough support from Oracle."
"Initial setup was simple for standard things, but for customisation and third-party integration, it can get cumbersome."
"This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language."
"Its functions need more stability."
"This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee to use the solution, which is highly-priced."
"It's really costly."
"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."
"The price needs to be lowered."
"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."
