Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to work with the solution."
"Adobe Experience Manager is a content management system, and we use it to create and manage a website."
"Adobe Experience Manager is quite a powerful product that you can use to design files and export them."
"I've used several CMS tools, but Adobe Experience Manager is feature-rich, especially for web security and content management. It's more efficient to manage content on Adobe Experience Manager, and you can do a lot with it, such as updating content at any time, and on any platform, even from mobile or tablet. Adobe Experience Manager is still getting updated daily, and it's the best CMS tool in the market for me. I like that you can manage assets in Adobe Experience Manager. I also like that the solution has an analytics dashboard that shows you where the traffic comes from, how many clicks come from a specific location, the number of clicks and impressions, etc. Adobe Experience Manager can be accessed by other teams, for example, the digital media department of my company, so the solution can be used and updated per each team's requirement. Adobe Experience Manager is more than just a web developer tool, as it also allows visibility tracking and has other uses. I also like that the GUI for Adobe Experience Manager is straightforward and catchy. It has separate folders and icons, so using Adobe Experience Manager isn't tough. The solution is straightforward to use and handle."
"I like the profiling and segmentation."
"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."
"Groups is the most valuable feature in Yammer."
"It was a stable solution...It was a highly scalable solution considering it was used in a very big company."
"People share their files and ideas and attend meetings in a collaborative manner."
"The solution was stable."
"The design of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Yammer is its interface."
"The user interface and the way we can share and search information are the most valuable. It is very easy to use."
"We can send out notifications and ask questions using Yammer."
 

Cons

"The licensing model is opaque, and technical support could be improved, especially for smaller companies."
"Adobe's technical support is so-so."
"Adobe Experience Manager's pricing could be improved."
"Tool-wise, the Adobe Experience Manager support team is not very responsive when the user face issues in AEM as a Cloud Service."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"A little bit of background knowledge of coding and website structure is required."
"Yammer should offer flexibility to allow branding without writing any code."
"Yammer has very limited features."
"The permissions are a little bit over-complicated."
"I would like to see a fancier user interface. That is one of the weak points of Yammer."
"Yammer should include more integrations."
"The solution's feature for sharing could be better."
"This solution would be improved if it was well integrated with other communication applications."
"It has a very limited use."
 

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."
"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."
"It's really costly."
"The pricing is not bad."
"I don't know about the pricing. Now that Microsoft has bought Yammer, it should be a part of our subscriptions for Office 365."
"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."
"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."
"Its cost is included in the license bundle for Microsoft."
