Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 23, 2025

Yammer and Adobe Experience Manager compete in the domains of team communication and content management, respectively. Adobe Experience Manager appears to hold an advantage due to its extensive features despite Yammer's favorable pricing and support performance.

Features: Yammer is designed for enhancing organizational communication and collaboration, featuring instant messaging, community building, and seamless integration with Microsoft tools. Adobe Experience Manager offers robust content creation capabilities, personalization options, and comprehensive asset management.

Room for Improvement: Yammer could benefit from improved global adoption, a richer set of communication features, and a more contemporary user interface. Adobe Experience Manager needs simplification of its complex deployment processes, enhanced user training resources, and more competitive pricing options for smaller enterprises.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Yammer provides a streamlined deployment process for Microsoft 365 users, supported by efficient customer service within Microsoft's ecosystem. On the other hand, Adobe Experience Manager's deployment can be complex, often requiring tailored solutions, but it is supported by extensive documentation and responsive support services.

Pricing and ROI: Yammer is competitively priced, often included in Microsoft subscriptions, offering favorable ROI for communication-focused teams. Adobe Experience Manager's higher pricing is justified by its advanced capabilities, which yield significant ROI for businesses with complex content management needs.

Have faced challenges with setup and pricing but have found flexibility and support helpful

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. The code language should be optimized or they should have some string functions or web plugins to create a lighter version rather than implementing large amounts of code lines. They should start implementing industry best practices which are not currently offered. We perform our internal development for customization at our own pace. We have multiple frameworks that help us in various ways. We are advancing in terms of AI integration. We have already started our own POCs before Adobe implements these features.

Creates user groups and streamlines communication

I think we should have some improvements in Yammer, similar to what we have in Facebook and others, where we can have targeted communications, so that we can filter some communications to go to a specific subset of that group, not to everybody. We would love to have some AI technologies included in Yammer, but I do not have a specific use case in mind right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is the experience fragment; if you want to replicate content across multiple websites with 1,000 or 20,000 pages, this feature helps accomplish it in a fraction of seconds."

"Adobe Experience Manager has made document management smoother because many people use Adobe, making it simpler for me to modify and resend PDF documents."

"I like the profiling and segmentation."

"Adobe Experience Manager is one of the best enterprise-level content management and digital experience platforms available."

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

"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."

"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

"Yammer is useful since it is a product you can easily integrate into our system since Microsoft supports it."

"Valuable features include the integration with Microsoft Office and the fact that it is in the cloud. Also, it's quite easy to use."

"Yammer shows the post’s actions, comments, and how people react. We can quickly see what's going on."

"Yammer allows collaboration anywhere, anytime, on any device."

"The solution was stable."

"Yammer brings in the most relevant posts to the users."

"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."

"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."

More Yammer pros

Cons

"The licenses are very expensive."

"Adobe Experience Manager is not so simple to use, so others should have some experience with similar programs."

"The licensing plus implementation and maintenance cost is very expensive, making it not suitable for small organizations, and the setup is very complex."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

More Adobe Experience Manager cons

"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."

"Microsoft should work on templating and provide some built-in templates so that the changes can automatically roll out to all the configured communities."

"I faced some issues with Yammer's mobile app when I shifted from Android to iPhone, and it got a little bit tricky to use it on an iPhone, which took away some of my time."

"The solution must be able to stream by itself, without integration, the same way that you are able to do it on Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Streaming must be embedded into it."

"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."

"Yammer has very limited features."

"I would rate the stability of Yammer as six out of ten."

"The way you want to control the communication could be an issue. It depends on what kind of company you are. We are a public company, and there are some regulations that we need to comply with. Its ease of use can be an issue for a company because anybody can subscribe and use it. There are many competitors that are overlapping. Since Microsoft bought Yammer, it tends to be in the shadow. It is not put in the front from the service perspective."

More Yammer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."

"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."

"Yammer is a pretty cheap solution, and it's included in multiple subscriptions."

"We get it as part of our Office 365 subscriptions, so I don't think we pay any additional cost for Yammer. It's included in the Office 365 subscriptions."

"The pricing is not bad."

"Compared to other products like Amazon, Yammer's pricing is fine."

"I think that there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
